Let me be clear: I meant no offense and no criticism. As the gentleman from the other side of the aisle and from New Jersey knows, I love parliamentary procedure. One of the reasons that we have parliamentary procedures and rules of parliamentary procedures is to make the place more efficient. We are talking about H.J. Res. 35 today. We are not talking about every other ill that anybody might think is going on. The focus today in this debate period is H.J. Res. 35. That is my only point. I meant no criticism of Mr. Tonko or the Democrats in this matter. Just trying to get us on track with parliamentary procedure. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Allen), my good friend.
