This resolution authorizes the use of the Capitol Grounds for a longstanding tradition for the children of the greater Washington, D.C., area. Once in a while, we do some fun stuff here on the floor, and this is one of those things. I urge support of the legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time. Mr. DeFAZIO. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. Again, I thank the majority leader for bringing this legislation. I misspoke earlier. I thought it had only been a quarter of a century. It has been 29 years. That is extraordinary, and this is a wonderful event for youth. It does bring a little something to Capitol Hill other than the day-to-day business, which can sometimes be suffocating. I urge my colleagues to support this legislation unanimously, and I yield back the balance of my time.
