Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, H. Con. Res. 43 authorizes the use of the Capitol Grounds for the Greater Washington Soap Box Derby later this month. Every year, we authorize the use of the Capitol Grounds for this event. The national All-American Soap Box Derby has been running since 1934 and provides opportunities for young people to demonstrate their innovation and ingenuity through a family-friendly competition-- something we need much more of this day and age. The Greater Washington Soap Box Derby is one of many local races that will qualify winning competitors for participation in the national Soap Box Derby . Mr. Speaker, I urge support for this resolution, and I reserve the balance of my time.
