I thank the gentleman, and since he referenced the poetry and the facts that Muhammad Ali is sometimes actually considered the godfather of rap, I would like to read one thing that he wrote. This is right after the Olympics in 1960: To make America the greatest is my goal, So I beat the Russian and I beat the Pole, And for the USA won the medal of gold, Italians said, you're greater than the Cassius of old. We like your name, we like your game, So make Rome your home if you will. I said, I appreciate the hospitality, But the USA is my country still, Because they're waiting to welcome me in Louisville. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Ohio (Mrs. Beatty).
