I rise in support of H.R. 1635, the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom Act. I am proud to share authorship of this legislation with my friend and colleague, the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Portman).

We are pleased to bring this bill to the floor with 156 cosponsors from both sides of the aisle and congressional districts across America.
