I have no further requests for time. In conclusion, let me just say that the America's Cup is the oldest competitive sailing competition. The U.S. held the Cup for over 134 years before losing to Australia off of Newport, Rhode Island. We are very proud to have reclaimed the Cup and look forward to defending it in 2013. With that, Mr. Speaker, I support the passage of the America's Cup Act of 2011, and I yield back the balance of my time. Mr. LoBIONDO. On to victory for America. I yield back the balance of my time.
