Mr. President, I see other Members on the floor. Senator Burris had spoken earlier. I wish to say there was an organization we failed to mention, but the Minority Bankers of America also have given their support to this. We are getting constant letters of support in. I can speak for a few more minutes. I don't know if anyone else is interested in speaking. We still do not have a vote on this, so I will continue, I guess.

We only have 5 minutes remaining. How much time do the Democratic opponents have remaining? The PRESIDING OFFICER. They have 27 minutes remaining.
I ask unanimous consent that Jonathon Burpee, a National Park Service fellow on the staff of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, be granted floor privileges for the duration of the 113th Congress. ____________________
