I thank the chairman for yielding to me because we want to acknowledge the committee's parliamentarian, Allison Halataei, on her last day of service to the committee. Allie has been an expert on House and committee rules, has ruled fairly on all matters of legislation that fall within the committee's jurisdiction, and has been valuable to all the members on both sides of the aisle.
