Jeff Flake: “Mr. Speaker, I offer my support for this bill, and will urge my colleagues to do the same. H.R. 2026, like H.R. 1684…”

“Mr. Speaker, I offer my support for this bill, and will urge my colleagues to do the same. H.R. 2026, like H.R. 1684, has met all the criteria for favorable consideration. It commemorates a significant figure on a significant date; it will ensure that the mint recovers its costs; and it has been endorsed by the CCCAC. Moreover, by passing this legislation, we will ensure the continued success of George Washington's Mount Vernon residence, which as we all know, is one the Capital region's most popular historical tourist attractions. I will close by congratulating our colleagues, Mr. Moran and Mr. Davis of northern Virginia, for their assistance in garnering the bipartisan support needed for committee consideration; for not only is this a northern Virginian treasure, it is also an asset that our Nation must always support.”
