On the recordMay 30, 2012
I have no other speakers, and I'm prepared to close. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 3140, as introduced by our former committee colleague, Ms. Speier, is a needed, commonsense piece of legislation with a history of bipartisan support. I urge my colleagues to support this measure and the security of our mass transit systems. With that, I yield back the balance of my time.
