I thank the gentlelady for her assistance in this matter. Also, you made reference to Mrs. Maloney from New York for her work as well. She is not on the floor right now, but I certainly do appreciate her efforts with the legislation and in full committee and in subcommittee as well in order to move forward on this piece of legislation before the House, H.R. 4569. And to your comment about perhaps I should have taken the substance of the bill to heart, I did streamline the 10 pages down to four pages to make it not duplicative, unnecessary, and outdated information. Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as she may consume to the gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. Maloney).
