On the recordFebruary 4, 2014
I yield to the gentleman from Oregon. Mr. DeFAZIO. Texas is batting .100 here today. I would like to thank the gentleman for improving the proposed composition of the council. I thought your points about the healing that can come from wounded warriors being in these precious natural areas in our country is very well taken, and I appreciate that. Not to create any discord at the moment, but there was another amendment that wasn't allowed by the Rules Committee, offered by the gentleman from California, Representative Ruiz, which is in the purview of the gentleman whose bill is on the floor today, which would have waived recreation fees for veterans with disabilities, and I hope we can revisit that issue in the future. I congratulate the gentleman on his improvement and his recognition of our veterans.
