On the recordDecember 4, 2013
We would love to try to find some common ground on her amendment, but her amendment simply goes to the first point and the initial filing of the forms and what have you. After that, there is the extraneous additional examinations and all the other costs that are so overly burdensome that we have found both in a bipartisan manner, as Mr. Himes from Connecticut has already pointed out, is overly burdensome and unnecessary. If there was some other way to pull this together in a bipartisan manner more so than we have already done, I would do so, but I am glad that the gentleman from Virginia and also the gentleman from Connecticut have been able to come together on all the points to come to a final bill in a bipartisan manner. And I support the legislation.
