Mr. Chair, we've been here for 15 minutes now, and we haven't got to a clause or at least to any substantive part of a clause. I must have missed the memo about a filibuster.
Mr. Harris has been here long enough to recognize that this particular clause is moot. Any committee of the House, and the House itself, can move a motion at any time to do exactly what he wants. Within three years the numbers, as he said, are going to be exactly the same as they are today. So this clause is not necessary. Any committee can take this study on at any time. They can move a motion. They are the masters of their own destiny.
So if his intention is to filibuster, I wish I had received the memo last night, because I could have had an extra five hours of sleep. It would certainly be helpful to move on to something more substantive.
