“I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. I understand and share the gentleman's interest in the World War I Centennial Commission. The committee may be willing to consider funds for the Commission to carry out its mission, but we need to make sure that the process is open and transparent. Report language accompanying this bill encourages the Commission to submit a budget request in the future so that we might review it in detail. The Commission will serve as the lead organizer for the Nation's commemorative event so that America can tell the story of the Great War that profoundly shaped our history. I agree with the gentleman from Missouri that the work of the Commission is important and look forward to working with the gentleman on this issue. Ms. McCOLLUM.
