Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Speaker, I think this is a very important bill. The American flag is so near and dear to so many people, and, quite often, folks think that it is being manufactured here in the United States and being manufactured with materials grown here; but the fact is, quite often, that is not the case.

Madam Speaker, I urge all of our colleagues to vote in favor of this legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Ms. Sewell of Alabama).
