On the vote by proxy, and for the record only, the yeas are 6, the nays are 0. On this vote, the yeas are 9, the nays are 0, and the motion is agreed to. Good. Sorry. Thanks, everybody. … The commission's recommendations [for the Regulatory Improvement Act of 2015] would be presented to Congress with a simple up and down vote. … discuss it. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And I want to start by thanking you and the ranking member for not just having this markup, but by operating this committee in a way that we're actually getting stuff done and continually holding markups. (18:29–18:37)
