BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. ISSA. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

Mr. Speaker, at this time I would like to inquire if the gentleman has any further speakers after I conclude?

Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. We have no more speakers, and I would be prepared to conclude.

Mr. ISSA. Excellent. I will be brief.

This is noncontroversial. In fact, the Antitrust Criminal Enhancement Reform Act of 2009 is about a program that is working. It is a program that not only do I hope we will unanimously pass and send to the Senate, but that the Senate will act quickly so that after the 2 weeks remaining, this statute will not expire, and we will use this year wisely to review and reauthorize in a longer term basis this act.

ACPERA has in fact worked. It is something that both the majority and minority have agreed on, and I urge its passage.

Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
