Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time to close. Mr. Speaker, I thank the Members on both sides of the aisle who have cosponsored the READ Act and spoken in favor of the bill. Today we can shine a light on dyslexia and help millions of Americans have a brighter and more prosperous future. I can think of no better way to honor Dyslexia Awareness Month than to pass the READ Act, a bill that will help students and individuals with dyslexia and the parents and teachers who support them in very practical ways. Jay Leno, Walt Disney, Steve Jobs, and Carol Greider, the 2009 Nobel Prize winner in medicine, among others, are some of the most recognized and brilliant creators and innovators who have struggled with dyslexia but have not let it limit them. We need to enable those with dyslexia to achieve their maximum potential. The READ Act will help accomplish this. I yield back the balance of my time.
