sensenbrenner, for three minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized for three minutes. mr. sensenbrenner: i thank the gentlewoman from north carolina for yielding me this time. i have listened very carefully to the arguments that have advanced by the speakers on the other side. my friend and neighbor, the gentlewoman from wisconsin, ms. moore, the gentlewoman from california, ms. speier, the gentlewoman from illinois, ms. schakowsky. none of them address the question before the house. the question before the house is whether or not to consider this bill. it's not about jobs, although they're important. it's not about the merits of the bill which we will debate later, should the house vote to consider this bill, it's about whether there are unfunded mandates in the bill. the gentlewoman from north carolina, ms. foxx, read the c.b.o. statement of february 28, 2011. h.r. 35 contains no intergovernmental or private sector mandates as defined in the unfunded man taits reform act and would impose no cos
