Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. There were strong differences of opinion about the changes made in 2005. Many of us questioned whether some of those changes were justified and whether they were fair or constructive, but those discussions are left to another day. This bill before us today is simply a technical cleanup of the 2005 legislation. I would like to thank the ranking member of the full committee, Mr. Smith, for making this a bipartisan effort. I urge my colleagues to support the bill. I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Scott) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 6198, as amended. The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the bill, as amended, was passed. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________
