Again, I thank the gentleman, and I thank the bipartisan nature of what we are doing here on the floor this evening with this legislation and the two pieces of legislation that follow. It shows the American public that this House, when we work together across the aisle and focus our attention on these important economic issues, can get things done. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore.

The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.
