  (Mr. GOHMERT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GOHMERT. Madam Speaker, this bill is based on so many fictions, 
it should not be passed. One is that we're going to do a rule and then 
that is going to be self-perpetuating. And that's going to pass the 
bill. That's a fiction. It ought to be an up-or-down vote on this bill. 
And if you read the very basics on this bill from the Senate, it says, 
Resolved, the bill from the House of Representatives, H.R. 3590, 
entitled: An act to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to modify 
the first-time homebuyers credit in the case of members of the Armed 
Forces.
  We're going to pass this on the backs of the Armed Forces. This 
should not be passed by anyone unless they eat it. If they eat it, then 
I'm in favor of them passing it. Otherwise, don't pass it.
