Designate the amendment. The clerk amendment number 3 printed in part b of house report 1142 offered by mr. Desantis of florida. The chair pursuant to House Resolution 27, the gentleman from florida, mr. Desantis, and a member opposed, each will control five minutes. The chair recognizes the gentleman from florida. Mr. Desantis mr. Speaker, i yield two minutes to my colleague from alabama mrs. Roby. Mrs. Roby i thank the gentleman, madam chair. I rise today in support of h.
