This is a bipartisan bill, and I thank Chairman Bishop and Ranking Member Grijalva for their leadership, their work, and assistance in getting this bill to the floor of the House of Representatives. I also thank Representatives David Valadao, Jeff Denham, and Paul Cook, as well as my predecessor, Representative Sam Farr, and our staffs for their work on this bill.

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague and friend for introducing this legislation, and I urge its adoption. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Hollingsworth). The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. LaHood) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 1913. The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the bill was passed. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________
