Kathy Castor: “I think it is a tremendous achievement for the Obama administration.”

I encourage all of my colleagues to vote in favor of H.R. 7224, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I thank the gentleman for yielding time. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to this Republican bill that requires businessowners to spend more money and use more energy. Mr. Speaker, here we are at the end of March. It is the 83rd day since…

I thank Representative Obernolte for his very thoughtful legislation, along with Representative DelBene. I urge a ``yes'' vote on H.R. 6020, and I yield back the balance of my time.

It's wrong and fiscally unwise—and will set children back at a time that they need support.
