Gus Bilirakis: “Thank you very much. Yes, that is why we have you here. I appreciate what you are doing.”

I couldn't agree more. There is no question that this is definitely needed. Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from Idaho (Mr. Fulcher), the vice chairman of the Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and…

I have no further speakers, and I am prepared to close after Mr. Pallone. I reserve the balance of my time.

In closing, I encourage a ``yes'' vote on this particular bill. Again, I commend Representatives Trahan and Carey. I yield back the balance of my time.

Every person is endowed with inherent dignity and deserves the freedom to live according to their conscience.
