“Again, I think this is an example of a bipartisan effort where the American people benefit. For me also it has been a great pleasure to work with the distinguished ranking member the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Barcia). We have looked at each issue. We have looked it from all points of view and have worked together in concert working with other members of the subcommittee and the full committee to achieve what we felt was important. Again, I thank him. Nothing happens without a lot of people working on it. I would certainly like to thank the chairman of the full committee, the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Sensenbrenner), who came to the rescue when there was a possibility that this bill could fall through the cracks. I appreciate very much what he did on our behalf and on behalf of the Nation, also our ranking member on the full committee, the gentleman from California (Mr. Brown). I urge all of my colleagues to support H.R. 1274 and vote to send it to the President for his signature.”
