On the recordSeptember 25, 2018
Madam Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. Madam Speaker, I have been in Congress for 34 years. I am about to retire at the end of this session. I have been on the House floor with many tumultuous battles. I have watched the fight over the Keystone pipeline, drilling in ANWR up in Alaska. My good friend, Senator Markey of Massachusetts, when he was in the House, would come to the floor with his chart, an oil well drilling into the Social Security trust fund. It is refreshing, Madam Speaker, to be on the floor today in the spirit of bipartisanship where we are all for something which I think really is good for the American people, good for the taxpayer, and good for the consumer. This is on suspension, so, obviously, we have to have a huge vote. I hope we get it. It looks like we will since we don't have any other speakers. I would urge a ``yes'' vote, Madam Speaker. Let's do something good for America. Let's vote for this bill. Please vote ``yes'' on H.R. 6511 when the vote is called. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
