Mr. Speaker, I just want to rise to reflect the broad-based support that this provision has within the Congress. This is not going to cost the American taxpayer any money, but it will provide some personal security for the great many Federal employees who need long-term care insurance. This was a good idea. There were any number of Members, particularly from the Washington metropolitan area, who pushed it. It is an important benefit, and it is one that all of the Federal workers throughout the country are going to appreciate. And particularly at this time when they are working under such fear and anxiety, it is the appropriate thing to do. I know it will be much appreciated. So I strongly support this measure.
