        <text>DEBATE - The House proceeded with 10 minutes of debate on the Sutton motion to recommit with instructions. The instructions contained in the motion seek to report the same back to the House with an amendment to amend the National Labor Relations Act by adding provisions that ensure a level playing field for employees, fair and equal access to voters prior to an election, and discourages outsourcing of jobs, pending reservation of a point of order. Subsequently, the reservation of a point of order was withdrawn.</text>
