Certainly, as the gentleman from Pennsylvania mentioned, we salute Mr. Ehlers' leadership on this issue and certainly hope that in future sessions we will continue to have strong bipartisan agreement on this issue. And perhaps if we are both in the next session, the gentleman from Pennsylvania will join me to continue the tradition of honoring Computer Science Education Week in future sessions. Again, the recognition in ensuring that raising the profile of the importance of computer science is a first step. And I have also introduced a bill, H.R. 5929, that really enacts what we need to do with regard to helping improve opportunities for computer science across the country. It's not simply a matter of kids using technology, but also a matter of learning the technical computing skills that are needed for an increasingly complicated workforce and business climate. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting this resolution.
