beam me up, Scottie. We would not have an American housing bill without a buy American amendment by my friend, the gentleman from Ohio. I want to say that I am happy to support the gentleman's amendment, urge its adoption, thank the gentleman for coming to the floor, continuing to remind us of the buy American pattern. I hope Americans that are watching this continue to stay focused on buying American goods wherever possible and that we encourage that in our public and assisted housing as well.
