Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 1456, the Peace Corps Reauthorization Act, as amended, would significantly upgrade the Peace Corps and better support Americans who are ready to serve their Nation and make the world a better place. I thank Mr. Garamendi for his service to the Peace Corps in Ethiopia and for this bill. It is clear from Mr. Garamendi and from many other Americans--we all know how their Peace Corps service has transformed their lives and the lives of those with whom they volunteered. All of this has contributed to a stronger American image abroad, reaffirming our conviction in the enduring value of the Peace Corps. Mr. Speaker, I hope my colleagues will join me and support this bill. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
