I thank the members of the Energy and Commerce Committee on both sides of the aisle for this reauthorization act. The time flies. When we put this together 5 years ago, it was bipartisan, as well. Our fire heroes run into burning buildings…
I unintentionally missed one rollcall vote. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 57, H.R. 7102, the Native American Entrepreneurial Opportunity Act. Stated against: Mr. McCORMICK. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 57…
