“In a day that could have passed being fairly irrelevant to real Americans, this is something that I think we all can be proud of. I would like to congratulate and thank my fellow Pennsylvanian, the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Goodling], and the gentleman from Indiana [Mr. Hamilton], and all of the original cosponsors of this effort in the last session and their hard work on it, and on this day, this is something that goes beyond symbolism. This is, indeed, something that both the majority and minority Members of the Congress can be proud of.”
