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.

I encourage a ``yes'' vote, and I congratulate Representative Torres and others for this great bill. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

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