I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, to respond to the other side of the aisle about which party was in control when nothing was done or vice versa, whatever, as that side of the aisle knows, it takes so much to get the other body to agree on anything these days, to get the 60 votes necessary. It doesn't matter which party controls the other body; to get them to agree on something is difficult. So I conclude by saying vote against these delays and pass the Senate bill. I yield back the balance of my time.
