Thank you so much, Mr. Rohrabacher. And you so rightly point out that hours after President Obama announced, in a shocking way, that we would resume diplomatic relations with Cuba and the Castro regime does not have to change, Raul Castro put on his military uniform and spoke to the oppressed island nation and said, hey, don't worry. We are not changing a thing. It is still the same failed regime. We got nothing from that deal. Mr. Speaker, I am so pleased to yield to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Diaz-Balart), the chairman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development. I had the honor of serving with his older brother. I have the honor of serving with his youngest brother now, Mario. Born in the United States and, just like Carlos and Alex Mooney, Mr. Curbelo and Mr. Mooney, a gentleman who is 100 percent American and so proud of 100 percent of his Cuban ancestry. Thank you, Mario.
