On the recordMay 24, 2016
I would merely observe that, in calendar year 2007, the political analyst George Will opined at the end of that year that the American Congress essentially had two mandates, to deliver the mail and defend the borders, that it had failed miserably at both jobs. Instead of performing either of those jobs, it banned the incandescent bulb, probably the single greatest invention to have occurred in America in the 1800s. This is a commonsense bill. Our constituents have asked for this. The Congress has supported it. The amendment, in fact, maintains current law. I urge all Members to support it. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
