Thank you, Mr. Allison, for appearing.
I don't have a whole bunch of questions. Perhaps the whips do. That's primarily why you were asked to speak with the whips.
Do you really feel it's cumbersome under the current situation? You mentioned, for example, tying up House time. I really don't see too much time being tied up. The motions are introduced and we've already pre-arranged that there is agreement by all whips. So normally it's a quick motion that takes probably no more than 30 seconds to deliver on the floor of the House. Everyone agrees and it's done.
While I'm not saying I'm against what you're suggesting, Mr. Allison, I don't see where this is really taking up valuable House time.
I would ask you to comment on that.
