On the recordJune 26, 2012
Before I get to the substance of the amendment, I cannot allow the occasion to pass because it may be my last comment on the floor on this bill, and the occasion is that this is the last time this bill will be shepherded by the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Olver), who's the ranking member and former chairman of the subcommittee, and who's done a wonderful job and has been a help to all of us and a help on amendments like this. And I just wanted to say that I regret that he will not be shepherding next year's bill and in the future.
