Reserving the right to object, I thank the gentleman from Alaska. I do accept your apology. I thank you for it. We have, obviously, some work to get to know each other. But I can tell you that I care about my State, as deeply as you do…

He's now called me ``young lady,'' and Mr. Chairman, I demand that the words be taken down. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman will suspend. The gentleman will take his seat. The Clerk will report the words.

I ask to have the gentleman's words taken down. The gentleman has already impugned my motives by saying that I don't know a damn thing about what I'm talking about.

I claim the time in opposition to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Washington is recognized for 5 minutes.

It would eliminate State regulatory authority over any company or its products unless that company has a very tightly defined physical presence in that State.

This bill would significantly undermine our ability to find solutions for that education problem in our State.

This bill could result in billions of lost revenue for our State which would hurt our ability to pay for critical goods and services including education.

The No Regulation without Representation Act is one of the most coercive and intrusive pieces of measures that I have seen.

I thank the gentlewoman for raising that because this elimination of TIGER grants affects cities across the country--red States, blue States, Republican, and urban. We have a lot of those TIGER grants that have paid for our roads, rails…

I have to say that this is conditional because we still don't have a budget resolution. So in the absence of a budget resolution, the reality is we are looking at a budget that could potentially raise $676 billion for defense, but at the…
