Mr. Speaker, I want to thank Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee for clearing up a lot of the misconceptions that are being purposely spread out there that this was something that was used by the Obama administration.

I now yield to the gentleman from Newark, New Jersey (Mr. Payne), who is the gentleman representing the eastern coast of New Jersey.
