Madam President, I rise to bring attention to the crucial role of health care professionals in providing quality health care across our Nation. Other than being a father, grandfather, and husband nothing has been more personally satisfying…

I thank the gentleman very much, and I yield myself the balance of my time. Madam Speaker, I urge all Members to vote ``yes'' on this amendment. Again, this is a simple modification that will allow Native American tribes to enter into…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the reading of the amendment be dispensed with. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. (The amendment is printed in the Record of Wednesday, March 17, 2010.)

I have no additional speakers, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I ask unanimous consent to be recognized to speak as in morning business for such time as I may consume. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
