For all of you who are giving us your riveting attention right now, on behalf of the Page Board, we would like to turn your attention to the rail in the back where some of the 67 pages are who have been here this year, some of the best and the brightest high school juniors in this Nation. These 67 pages were nominated by you; they have been serving you; they have been here for the past semester observing you, listening to you, learning from you, which makes you all guilty of child abuse or at least guilty of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. However, this is their final week. They are in finals right now at the accredited high school which they attend, and they will be finishing their service to the House next week when, hopefully, we will be in recess. So we will not have a chance to bid them a farewell before that time, but we are extremely grateful. I would ask that the names of these 67 pages who have been serving this semester be added to the Record.

This ban is even more ridiculous after we just locked in mandatory spending of $900 million in perpetuity with the so-called Great American Outdoors Act.
