“I rise to commend the tremendous leadership of two of our colleagues, the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Meek) and the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Ryan), and the 30-Something Working Group for taking the lead on this vital effort to talk to the next generation of Americans about issues that they care about. Tonight, during the Special Order, our 30-Something Working Group has 1 hour to speak to the young people of America. It consists of 14 Members of Congress in their 30s, as it said. The gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Ryan) is in his 20s, just turned 30. All regions of the United States are represented in the group and all aspects and the beautiful diversity of our country: the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Carson); the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Davis); the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Ford); the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Jackson); the gentleman from Rhode Island (Mr. Kennedy); the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Kind); the gentleman from Rhode Island (Mr. Langevin); the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Larsen); the gentleman from Utah (Mr. Matheson); the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Meek); the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Ryan); the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Linda T. Sanchez); the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Smith); and the gentleman from New York (Mr. Weiner). How proud we are of them.…”
