Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. The All-American Flag Act is a commonsense bill that all Members can support. It would require that all Federal agencies purchase American flags that are manufactured right here in the United States using materials grown or produced in the United States. Under current law, the requirement applies only to the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs. It should be extended to all Federal agencies. As under current law, the bill would provide certain limited exceptions and allow agencies to purchase American flags made elsewhere if they are not available in sufficient quantity or quality from American manufacturers. I urge support of this bill, and I reserve the balance of my time.
