My father always taught us that a penny saved was a penny earned. And, of course, if it's good enough for our families, it certainly is good enough for our national government. I compliment the gentleman on the development of an excellent piece of legislation. I urge its passage. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore.

In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.
