I am pleased to stand and support this bill, and I urge my colleagues to adopt it. The National Law Enforcement Museum will showcase the great work that is done by those who are in the law enforcement profession, but it is also going to have interactive exhibits designed to give visitors a firsthand experience of the life of law enforcement officers. It seems strange that we have to do this by actual legislation, but this is an amendment to the National Law Enforcement Museum Act that simply will allow the museum to acquire, ship, import, and display firearms. If we don't do this, obviously, that doesn't take place, which detracts from the entire experience of the museum in the first place. I commend Mr. Young for introducing this piece of legislation. It seems like it is strange that we have to go to these lengths to do something so logical, but it is the right thing to do, and I appreciate his efforts to do that. Mr. Speaker, I have no further speakers, and I reserve the balance of my time.
