periods of debate shall be equally divided and controlled by the
proponent and an opponent.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentleman from Kentucky?
Mr. DICKS. Reserving the right to object, I just want to also join
the chairman in congratulating the staff. This is the hardest-working
staff I have ever seen in my career. The effort that is put in on a
bipartisan basis, this is the cohesive and professional staff that I
have seen, and I have been up here on the Hill for over 40 years. I
just want to say that Jennifer Miller and David Pomerantz worked very
hard to put this agreement together. We asked for some additional time.
Our Members wanted a chance to express themselves on some of these very
important and sensitive issues that are in this legislation.
But it is my judgement that we should not object; we should accept
this agreement and proceed forward and finish this legislation.
I withdraw my reservation.
