I rise in support of H.R. 759, which has been well explained by the subcommittee chairman. We support the designation of the Bob Hope Memorial Library. We urge the adoption of this particular bill. In 1940, Bob Hope starred, with Paulette Goddard and Richard Carlson, in a remake of the movie ``The Ghost Breakers.'' In that picture, as they are talking about zombies that would be attacking the house that is owned by Paulette Goddard, she said, ``Zombies! That's horrible.'' Richard Carlson said, ``It's worse than horrible because a zombie has no will of his own. You see them sometimes walking around blindly with dead eyes, following orders, not knowing what they do, not caring.'' At which time Bob Hope said, ``Oh, you mean like Democrats.'' I am very grateful that the other side of the aisle has taken this opportunity to recognize and reward both the wit and the wisdom of Bob Hope with this piece of legislation. I firmly support it.

Just as locking up large sums of lands has been a terrible and expensive idea, locking up 30 percent of our oceans does not translate to good stewardship.
