“I would also like to add the names of David Schooler, who is counsel to the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Dingell) and the Democrats on the committee, and to Colin Crowell on my staff, who participated in the drafting of this legislation right from its inception. During the course of the actual drafting of the bill, his first son Gavin was born, while balancing those two important responsibilities. Both of them have come out extremely well over the last month. I think our country for the future is much brighter because of the work of Colin for our Nation over this past year. I hope that the other Members of this great Chamber deem fit to pass this important legislation today, which will help us become stronger economically while not undermining the defense of our Nation at all.”
