Mr. Speaker, I certainly do deeply appreciate the comments of my colleague from Puerto Rico, and she knows, as well as I do, as members of the Island Caucus--and we include in the Island Caucus the largest island of all, Alaska, Mr. Young's island--the deep importance of this system. It is a matter of life and death to us in many areas and many ways, and so we all fully endorse this bill from that perspective. Mr. Speaker, I have no further speakers. I am prepared to close, and I reserve the balance of my time. Miss GONZALEZ-COLON of Puerto Rico. Mr. Speaker, I yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from Alaska (Mr. Young), dean of the House. (Mr. YOUNG asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.)
