Ms. MAXINE WATERS of California.

Mr. Speaker, I, too, rise in support of this legislation, S. 3628, and the gentleman, Tom MacArthur, is absolutely correct. We have to do a short-term reauthorization. And because of the previous vote, some people are a little bit confused, but they do not have to worry.

The previous bill that we voted on was one where Chairman Hensarling was attempting to add some language. That failed. So now we have a clean bill before us with one little correction in it, and I would simply ask for an ``aye'' vote so that we can get on with ensuring we have short-term reauthorization.

And I am pleased to say that we have the support on both sides of the aisle to begin to work on a long-term reauthorization, and I think we are going to have good agreement on that. So I would simply ask for an ``aye'' vote today and get this out of the way so that we can move on.
