A lot of people put a lot of time in achieving this bill, and I especially want to thank the gentleman from Alabama [Mr. Everett], the chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, and the gentleman from South Carolina [Mr. Clyburn] for all of the effort that he put forth on this bill, as well as the ranking member of the full committee; and of course the gentleman from Indiana [Mr. Buyer] and the gentleman from Florida [Mr. Bilirakis], who originally asked for a meeting, and the gentleman from Illinois [Mr. Gutierrez], who just made a statement. As I mentioned before, this is a very bipartisan bill and I urge the Members to support it.
