It is important to Irish heritage, and it certainly deserves the recognition as a park right here in our local area of Washington, D.C. I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Young of Iowa). The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from California (Mr. Denham) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 4564.
