mr. speaker , i want to point out that this bill on the house side , h.r. 800 , which was passed , as i mentioned earlier by the house judiciary committee , this bill actually had 257 cosponsors , mr. speaker . 
so this is certainly not a republican bill . 
you can do the math . 
my colleagues certainly can do the math on the other side of the aisle . 
but clearly , this bill had strong , strong bipartisan support . 
mr. speaker , i yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from florida ( mr. stearns ) xz4003880 , a member of the energy and commerce and veterans ' affairs committees .
