mr. gibbs: mr. speaker, i yield high such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. gibbs: mr. speaker, i rise in strong support of h.r. 935, the reducing regulatory burdens act of 2013. the reason we are back here on the floor for this bill today is pure politics. in the last congress this bill, then it was h.r. 872, was introduced on a bipartisan basis with overwhelming bipartisan support and passed under suspension calendar with 2/3 of this body in support of it. this congress, h.r. 935, the exact same bill was again introduced on a bipartisan basis with bipartisan support and was voice voted out of the transportation and agricultural committees. however, earlier this week partisanship reared its lug ugly head and members who are on record voting in support of this legislation or agreed to it by voice vote were urged to change their votes from yes to no in order for it not to be agreed on by 2/3 of this body. this is a -- this is partisanship at its ugl

mr. gibbs: the i.r.s. is currently tasked with enforcing the failing health care law and now they are attempting to regulate free speech. the double standard that plagues the i.r.s. must end. asking the americans for years of paperwork regarding their taxes is simply hypocritical when the i.r.s. is unable to produce information required of them. i know the investigations conducted by various house committees will help to expose what really happened and work to prevent this kind of government overreach from occurring again. government needs to be transparent and accountable to the american people. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from kentucky seek recognition? mr. yarmuth: i request unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. yarmuth: madam speaker, today some of my colleagues from across the aisle unveiled their proposal to addre
