Leonard L. Boswell: “We can either decide to do something or leave it alone.”

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Page 132, line 23, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $22,000,000)''. Page 141, line 12, after the dollar amount…

I am proud to say that this Committee is genuinely the more bipartisan operation in the House of Representatives and I think you have just seen the reason why.

I feel it is an honor and privilege that Leonard Boswell, born in a tenant farmhouse, gets to be here today and bear testimony and make comment, that I am just proud to be part of the memory of Dwight Eisenhower.

I just want to thank you again for your attention and your dedication to this cause, Mr. Chairman. I've noticed that for years you and the ranking member have worked together, and you're doing the right thing. Thank you very much.
