I rise in support of H.R. 3971; and I want to commend the sponsors of this legislation, the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Hastings), the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Nethercutt), the gentlewoman from Washington (Ms. Dunn), but also on our side the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Smith), the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Inslee), the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Dicks), and the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Larsen) for introducing this bill. I think it is important, especially as we look at the fires that are raging in the West today, that we provide for an investigation of any deaths that might occur, as well as the deaths that occurred last year. So I am pleased to stand here in support of this legislation.
