I guess this is part of the mantra of the majority on this particular bill: do more with less, when actually what we're doing is less with less, because there would be less wages paid to our American workers if this amendment were to be adopted, and there would be less safety provided to our American workers. There would be less health care coverage provided, less pension care coverage, less efficient, less highly skilled workers if this gentleman's amendment is adopted. So I conclude by urging all of our colleagues to oppose this amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Sessions). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes appeared to have it.
