Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Chairman, I move to strike the last word. (Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.)

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Chairman, I rise to engage in a colloquy with the chairman of the committee, as well as my colleague, the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Wolf), also I think that the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Moran) and the gentlewoman from North Carolina (Mrs. Myrick) also are concerned. This regards section 1103 of the bill dealing with the Federal loan guarantee program for air carriers. The airline industry has changed dramatically and permanently since September 11. Business air travel is down 30 percent industry-wide and total industry revenue is down 15 percent since 2000. It is an unfortunate reality that some carriers' financial situation is currently unsustainable. We cannot now pass the provision that moves the goal post on the very companies for whom the legislation was intended when it was passed a mere 9 months ago. I ask the chairman, this section would upon enactment of the bill delay disbursement of loan guarantees until October 1 of this year. Is it the chairman's understanding that while this provision would prevent the actual issuance of a loan guaranteed until October 1, that the air transportation stabilization board may continue and complete processing of applications during the remainder of this fiscal year?

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. I yield to the gentleman from Florida.

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Chairman, I yield to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Wolf) for further inquiry.

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. I thank the gentleman for his assurances. Mr. Chairman, I include in the Record a letter from the Office of Management and Budget which clearly states the provisions which we are considering today permit the Air Transportation Stabilization Board to continue to complete the processing of qualified loan guarantee applications that are properly filed. Executive Office of the President, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC. Hon. J. Dennis Hastert, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Washington, DC. Dear Mr. Speaker: This letter provides the Administration's interpretation of Section 1103 of the pending House FY 2002 supplemental appropriations bill (H.R. 4775) regarding airline loan guarantees. This provision was not proposed by the Administration but was added by the House Committee on Appropriations during committee consideration of the supplemental appropriations bill. Under Section 1103 of the bill, the Air Transportation Stabilization Board would be able to continue and complete processing of qualified applications for loan guarantees during the balance of FY 2002 consistent with the authorities of P.L. 107-42, the Air Transportation Safety and System Stabilization Act. While the Board could not obligate loan guarantee funds during the balance of FY 2002 (from enactment through September 30, 2002), it can, after October 1, 2002, issue the loan guarantees to qualified applicants. Sincerely, Nancy P. Dorn, Deputy Director.

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. I yield to the gentleman from Virginia.

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman yield?

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Chairman, I think one of the purposes of colloquy is to assure we have full leadership working to make sure one way or the other, the right thing happens should they qualify for this loan. In fact, the money will be available on a timely basis. We have received assurances that this, it still has to go through conference. There is Senate language that still needs to be worked through, and I just want to say I am comfortable with the fact that we are going to work this out, but I appreciate the gentleman's being very aggressive on this issue because I think it is very important, not just for the airline, as the gentleman has mentioned before.

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman yield?

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Chairman, they have only capped it in committee. It still has to go to the floor. It has a long way. I know Senator Byrd is concerned about this as well.

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding me this time, and I rise in support of the rule and in support of H.R. 4737, the Personal Responsibility, Work, and Family Protection Act. Mr. Speaker, society benefits from helping the unfortunate lift themselves out of poverty and despair, and society benefits most if we put those people in a position to stay gainfully employed so that they become self-sufficient in as short an amount of time as possible, off the welfare rolls, onto payrolls. In 1996, this Congress reestablished the notion that welfare was a temporary system to help those who had fallen on hard times, not a way of life. The warnings of what would happen, and we heard them then from the other side, predicted 2.6 million people would be pushed into poverty, 12.8 million people falling further into poverty and homelessness, that welfare reform represented the most brutal act of social policies since Reconstruction, stand in stark contrast to what has happened. Child poverty has fallen by nearly 3 million people. More parents are working, and dependence has dramatically fallen with caseloads decreasing by 9 million, from 14 million in 1994 to just 5 million today. These results are encouraging, but there is still much to be done. Today, 58 percent of recipients are neither working nor training, and 2 million families remain dependent on welfare. With H.R. 4735, we reinforce the belief that those receiving benefits are expected to work for them. The number of hours one must work or be engaged in job-preparation activities rises to 40 hours from 30. However, we also recognize the challenges that exist for a person to obtain quality work. We give States great flexibility in allowing beneficiaries the opportunity to obtain training or education to increase their marketability. Sixteen of the required 40 hours per week can be used for any purpose that the State deems appropriate, be it vocational training, post-secondary education, or caring for a disabled child. Furthermore, we stipulate that States have total flexibility in designing activities that can be considered work for 3 out of every 24 months, plus an additional month if the individual is pursuing education or training linked to an available job in the local area. I believe these are very generous terms and maintain the kind of State flexibility that has been the key to success for welfare reform so far. In addition, we recognize that increased work requirements will require increased child care resources. To that end we authorize an additional $2 billion for the Child Care Development block grant. Since its enactment in 1996, welfare reform has been a success. We have given a boost to many, many families that ultimately want the same things we all want: the dignity of a job that allows them to be self- sufficient, a home of their own, the means to improve the lives of their children. The vast majority of those on welfare want to work, and any system that creates disincentive to do so is not serving anybody. I am grateful to the gentleman from California (Mr. Thomas) and the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Boehner) and the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Tauzin) for their hard work, and I urge adoption of this bill and rule.

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.R. 3694, the Highway Funding Restoration Act, critical legislation introduced by my friend and colleague, Mr. Young. As you know, Mr. Speaker, under TEA-21, funding for the federal-aid highway program was linked to highway user fee revenues deposited into the Highway Trust Fund (HTF). This was achieved in part by a budgetary mechanism called RABA, the Revenue Aligned Budget Authority, which adjusts the guaranteed amount of highway funding available to reflect the most recent estimates of HTF revenues. Due to an unexpected downturn in highway revenues (attributable to a decline in gas, tire, and truck sales, and the overall economic recession), the President's FY 2003 budget proposed an $8.6 billion, or 27 percent cut in highway funding. H.R. 3694 restores $4.4 billion to the highway program (a return to TEA-21's FY 2003 levels), and preserves TEA-21 ``firewalls,'' ensuring that the additional money will be spent on highway projects. House passage of this legislation will send an important message that these funds will be available to states to continue work on vital transportation projects. TEA-21 was a huge win for Virginia, resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars more each year in federal aid for transportation projects. This funding meant progress in our fight against traffic congestion, enhanced highway safety, and thousands of jobs--good, family-wage jobs we can't afford to lose. Halting this progress by cutting funding 27 percent would be devastating to Virginia, to our local economies, and to the men and women whose livelihood depends on transportation-related projects. Many projects critical to the continued improvement of Virginia's transportation infrastructure are currently in the works or being planned--while many others are being set aside due to funding shortages at the state and local levels. In my Northern Virginia congressional district, safety, quality of life and the overall economy depend largely on maintaining TEA-21 funding. I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting this legislation.

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to Mr. Gary Powers, Jr. for his work and dedication to bringing the Cold War Museum to Northern Virginia. In honor of his father, Mr. Gary Powers, Sr., Powers spent years to not only gain deserved recognition for his father, but for all who defended the United States and her allies during the Cold War. Powers' father, Mr. Gary Powers, Sr., was a Korean War veteran who, in the 1960s, worked for the Central Intelligence Agency. In 1960, he was shot down over the USSR while piloting a U-2 spy plane and was convicted of spying and confined to a Russian prison until exchanged for a captured Russian spy. He subsequently found employment as a helicopter pilot for television station KNBC in Los Angeles. He died on August 1, 1977 in the crash of his helicopter and was buried in Section 11 of Arlington National Cemetery. In 1962, espionage became big news as the ``U2 Incident'' grabbed world headlines. Powers was shot down as he flew the U-2, designed for covert surveillance, over Soviet territory, sparking one of the biggest international crises of the Cold War. The U.S. demanded his safe return. The USSR wanted to know what he was doing up there in the first place. Shot down on May 1, 1960, Powers was held in prison for 2 years until 1962, when he was exchanged for Soviet Col. Rudolf Abel in the most dramatic East-West spy swap ever to occur in Cold War Berlin. Powers stepped on to the eastern end of the Berlin's Glienicke Bridge spanning the River Havel on February 10, 1962. At the other end of the bridge stood Colonel Rudolf Abel, a heavily muffled Soviet master-spy, seized earlier by U.S. security agents after setting up a Red spy network in New York in the late 1950s. At a precisely arranged signal, the two men strode on to the bridge, marching purposefully towards one another, Powers heading west, Abel east. In the middle of the bridge they passed each other silently, with barely a nod of their heads. That spy-swap operation was to be the forerunner of many such East-West prisoner exchanges to take place on the Glienicke Bridge over the next 27 years in Berlin. Criticized when he returned to the United States for not ensuring the revolutionary plane was destroyed or killing himself with poison, Powers was cold-shouldered by his former employers at the Central Intelligence Agency and eventually died in 1977 at the age of 47 when a television news helicopter he was piloting crashed in Los Angeles. On May 1, 2000, U.S. officials presented Powers' family with the Prisoner-of-War Medal, the Distinguished Flying Cross and the National Defense Service Medal during a ceremony held at the Beale Air Force Base, north of Sacramento, and home to the modern U.S. U-2 force. It marked the 40th anniversary of the incident. Powers' son, Gary Powers Jr., spent years writing letters and holding meetings with officials to ensure this very deserved recognition took place. He saw the presentation of the medals as an important step in recognizing those who served their country during the Cold War. Powers wanted to make sure that his father was honored with the medals he deserved for being a prisoner of war, while at the same time ensuring those who served along with his father were recognized as well. Powers, Jr., has devoted much of his time to seeing his father's memory honored, and has worked endlessly to establish a permanent Cold War Museum to educate the public about the period of US-Soviet rivalry. As a direct result of all of his hard work and dedication, Northern Virginia will be the location for the new Cold War Museum. Mr. Speaker, in closing, I wish to congratulate and honor Mr. Powers, Jr., for his dedication to his father, to all Cold War veterans, to Northern Virginia, and to the nation. He certainly has earned this recognition, and I call upon all of my colleagues to join me in applauding this remarkable man.

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. I rise today in support of H.R. 3231, the Barbara Jordan Immigration Reform & Accountability Act. The magnitude of the INS' problems is extraordinary--at the end of FY2001, it had a backlog of 4.9 million applications and petitions, thus forcing aliens trying to play by the rules to wait in limbo for years. The Census Bureau estimates that at least 8 million undocumented aliens reside in the U.S. Over 300,000 criminal and deportable aliens ordered removed by immigration judges have absconded. Much of the INS' failure stems from the conflict between its enforcement and service missions. Mr. Chairman, the INS is unable to adequately perform either of its missions. Rather, the agency appears to move from one crisis to the next, with no coherent strategy of how to accomplish both missions successfully. Reponding to this national security crisis, H.R. 3231 would abolish the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) in favor of two new organizations that concentrate solely on different missions--one that would administer immigration benefits and one that would enforce immigration laws. This legislation promotes law and order by increasing accountability and creating a position for checks and balances between the two bureaus. This bipartisan legislation ensures that the new INS bureaus will each have the proper mission and guidelines to assist those individuals who are ready to become U.S. citizens while cracking down on illegal immigrants and enforcing immigration laws and regulations. It will work to keep the terrorists out, but provide efficient and fair service to those that play by the rules when it comes to our immigration process. Additionally, this legislation will help to secure our homeland by placing a greater focus on immigration policy and making sure everyone is playing by the rules. The Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (BCIS) will concentrate on improving immigration services and reducing mediation backlogs for legal immigrants, while the Bureau of Immigration Enforcement (BIE) will deny admission to those that should be kept out of the U.S. BIE will also apprehend and remove those designated for deportment along the border and in the interior. H.R. 3231 will create an Associate Attorney General in the Department of Justice who will only handle immigration affairs. The Associate Attorney General will supervise the two bureaus, resolve conflicts between them and help to hold the two bureaus accountable for their actions. The INS has reorganized itself numerous times over the past two decades. Judging from its caseload and its failure to detect and detain terrorists, internal reorganization is not working. This bill creates a clear chain of command and greater accountability. Mr. Chairman, I urge all of my colleagues to support this important national security legislation.

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Chairman, let me just say I think the intention of the gentleman from California (Mr. Issa) here is designed to give maximum flexibility to INS management, and I applaud that; but I think he is going about it the wrong way. First of all, the problem is in management at this point over in INS, and this amendment as I read it virtually wipes out the SES because of the safeguard that it takes away. If you are trying to recruit and retain the best in Federal employees, why are you going to take away the right to independent review, the right of appeal, and make them basically employees at will? No one is going to leave a job in the private sector or move laterally from another agency if they are going to be subject to those restrictions. If we have a problem, let us look at the overall civil service system in that context instead of putting pieces into different agencies. It is going to become unmanageable in my judgment. So I urge my colleagues to vote against this particular amendment.

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a community in Fairfax County, Broyhill Crest Citizen's Association, on its 50th Anniversary. This neighborhood has been providing families with the best Annandale, Virginia has to offer for many years and is well-positioned to continue to do so in the future. Broyhill Crest Citizen's Association was founded in 1952 and held its first meeting on Annandale Road with 24 families in attendance. Today, the membership includes 1150 families covering an area of almost 20 miles, including 15 subdivisions. With a goal of being more effective in county matters, the Broyhill Crest Citizen's Association joined the Fairfax County Federation of Citizens Associations in 1953, and today is one of the largest associations in the County Federation. Priding itself on community relations, the Broyhill Crest Citizen's Association is in constant contact with its residents. Monthly board meetings and an annual meeting held each Spring allow residents an opportunity to have their voices heard, discuss problems and speak directly to elected officials. The monthly newsletter, which has evolved from a mimeograph hand-delivered bulletin in the last 50s to a printed publication mailed to residents today, is the Association's main means of communication with its residents. The Broyhill Crest Citizen's Association strives to make our community a better place. Through close relationships with local government officials, it monitors plans and policies to keep residents informed. Social activities, including the annual Easter Egg Hunt, July 4th Celebration, and Santa Visit, have become highlights of the community calendar, providing a festive gathering place for residents, guests, local officials, and families. Mr. Speaker, in closing, I want to thank the Broyhill Crest Citizen's Association for all it has provided to the community and congratulate all of its members on this momentous occasion which will be celebrated on Tuesday, April 23, 2002. I hope that all of my colleagues will join me in congratulating the Broyhill Crest Citizen's Association on 50 years of service and wishing them the best in the years to come.

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to Mr. Thomas E. Brunk, upon his retirement from the Federal Government after 33 years of distinguished and dedicated service to Northern Virginia, our Nation, and the Department of Defense. Tom's career truly can be described as an American success story. Tom began his career as an young intern in Oklahoma, somewhat bewildered by the sights and sounds of the bustling air logistics center. Now, more than three decades later, he will end his career as a member of the Senior Executive Service and as the deputy director and the highest- ranking civilian of the Defense Contract Management Agency, a worldwide organization of 12,000 employees responsible for ensuring that the supplies and materials going to our Military Services--our men and women in uniform--are delivered on-time and are of the highest quality. His contribution has been particularly notable over the last nine years as contingency contract management has been needed to support America's military deployments at locations around the world. Despite his relative youth, Tom quickly demonstrated exceptional managerial skills in support of major aerospace systems, including the B-2 aircraft and the Peacekeeper missile. With great vigilance and a strong sense of duty, he led operations reviews at dozens of major Defense contractors, and after having proved his mettle on the plant floor, steadily advanced to positions of increasing responsibility. In 1990 he accepted an appointment to the Defense Department's principle contract-management organization, the Defense Contract Management Command. In this capacity, Tom has been a stalwart standard bearer in the Department's pursuit of acquisition excellence. The capstone of Tom's career came in March 2000, when he spearheaded the establishment of the Defense Contract Management Agency, a combat- support organization responsible for the management of 310,000 government contracts cumulatively valued at more than $100 billion. As deputy director since the agency's inception, Mr. Brunk has brought to bear his considerable managerial, technical, and interpersonal skills to ensure America's fighting forces receive the material support they need to protect and defend our nation. He has helped DCMA earn a place of prominence in the Department's technology revolution, as evidenced by his role in the development and deployment of the Standard Procurement System, a Department-wide purchasing and payment system that will replace a jumble outmoded and disparate programs that for years have bedeviled financial management with the Defense community. Whether it is on the flight line at an air logistics center in Oklahoma City, on the plant floor at a manufacturing plant in St. Louis, or at a negotiations table in the Nation's capital, Tom Brunk served with dignity, commitment, and integrity. On the occasion of his retirement from the Federal Civilian Service, I offer my congratulations and thanks to this long-time resident of Northern Virginia, and wish him and his wife, Sharon, well in their future pursuits. Mr. Speaker, in closing, I wish the very best to Mr. Brunk as he is recognized for his years of service to the Federal Government, the people of Northern Virginia and our nation He certainly has earned this recognition, and I call upon all of my colleague to join me in applauding this remarkable service.

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to honor a friend of Northern Virginia, Mr. Bob Bynum, who is being recognized for his 28 years of volunteer service to the Mason District Little League at the League's Opening Day Ceremony on April 20, 2002 in Fairfax, Virginia. Mr. Bynum has dedicated himself to making our community a better place. Beginning in the late 50s when he played baseball for the Bailey's Crossroads Little League, Mr. Bynum has devoted years to making Little League a strong, positive institution for the children of Northern Virginia. In the late 70s, Mr. Bynum coached his first baseball team for children between the ages of 10 and 12, and has continued this service for 28 years, coaching hundreds of children in the Mason District Little League. While off the field, Mr. Bynum ran three golf tournaments to raise needed funds to build batting cages that can be seen on the Parklawn Park fields on Lincolnia Road, as well as to purchase a lighted scoreboard dedicated at last year's Opening Day Ceremonies on the fields of Mason District Park. In addition to his years of coaching, Mr. Bynum has served as President of the Mason District Little League, as well as several other Board positions. Despite having no children of his own, Mr. Bynum did all of this as a result of his passion for baseball, the children, and the Little League institution. Mr. Speaker, in closing, I wish the very best to Mr. Bob Bynum as he is recognized for his years of service to the Mason District Little League. He certainly has earned his recognition, and I call upon all of my colleagues to join me in applauding this remarkable service to our community and our children.

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of a friend of Northern Virginia who passed away this week, Mr. Bob de Lorenzi. Mr. de Lorenzi was a pillar of the Northern Virginia community. As President and Chief Executive Officer of the Patriot Computer Group, Inc. and its subsidiary PatriotNet, Inc., Mr. de Lorenzi was widely admired as a businessman, receiving the 2001 Businessman of the Year Award from the Chamber of Commerce. But even more importantly, he was admired for his love and devotion to his Northern Virginia community. Mr. de Lorenzi served as Vice Chairman of Technology, and Chief Information Officer, for the Central Fairfax Chamber of Commerce. This is the first instance in the nation that a Chamber of Commerce appointed a Board-level CIO. He was chairman of the Central Fairfax Chamber of Commerce's Technology Committee since its inception in 1995, organizing the Chamber's Technology Day event geared toward improving understanding and efficiency in the technology arena. Utilizing his professional expertise to benefit his community, Mr. de Lorenzi served on the Fairfax City/George Mason University Technology Committee and its Business/Training and Schools subcommittees, as well as the Fairfax County Information Technology Policy Advisory Committee. His volunteer efforts were recognized when the Central Fairfax Chamber of Commerce honored him with its 1998 Volunteer of the Year award. Last night, April 17, 2002, Bobbie Kilbert, President of the Northern Virginia Technology Council, offered a moving tribute to Mr. de Lorenzi recognizing his many contributions to Northern Virginia's high-tech community and indeed the community at large. In October 2000, Mr. de Lorenzi again set out to make the Washington metropolitan area, and the nation, a better place by serving as chairman of the first annual Washington Conference on Telework/Telework America TM Day. This conference focused on the development and promotion of telework in the Washington metropolitan area, attempting to provide a solution to many of the difficult issues facing this region, including traffic congestion, work-life balance, recruitment and retention, and air quality--all at an affordable cost. The conference's attendees included elected and appointed representatives of Federal and local governments and managers from both private and public sectors of the entire Washington metropolitan area. The nation's trust and admiration was revealed as Mr. de Lorenzi was presented by our President, George W. Bush, with the opportunity to serve as the Chief Technology Consultant to the Bush-Cheney Presidential Transition Team. The President discovered what Northern Virginians have long known: Bob was a man you wanted on your side. Mr. Speaker, in closing, I express my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Bob de Lorenzi, and as a representative of the residents of the 11th District of Virginia, I know he will be missed. I call upon all of my colleagues to join me in honoring the memory of Mr. Bob de Lorenzi.

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Vienna Little League of Vienna, Virginia as it celebrates 50 years of providing outstanding community service to the boys and girls of Vienna. In 1952, young ball players in Vienna were advised they could no longer play in the neighboring town's Little League. With a dedicated group of parents and the backing of the Lions Clubs of Vienna, the Vienna Little League was formed. One hundred and seventy- five players participated that first year. Over the years, the League has grown rapidly, with over 1,200 children now participating in Tee- ball, Rookie, Minors, Majors and Challenger programs. I am proud to point out that the Vienna Little League facilities and programs are among the finest in the country. The League earned a trip to the Little League World Series in 1972 and won the Virginia State Championship last season. Mr. Speaker, in closing, what we are ultimately saluting today are the educational opportunities the League provides to thousands of boys and girls in terms of teamwork and sportsmanship. I know my colleagues join me in commending Vienna Little League on their first 50 years and look forward to it celebrating many more.

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished gentleman from Texas (Mr. Smith).

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Chairman, that is certainly my understanding. I would say to my friend from California, as this moves through and to conference, I would be happy to work with her to further clarify that if we get the opportunity to do so; but that is clearly the intention of this legislation. I appreciate the gentlewoman calling it to our attention.

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, on the Digital Tech Corps Act, I would like to thank members of the staff of the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight who helped to make this bill a reality: George Rogers, Victoria Proctor, John Brosnan, Teddy Kidd, Charles ``Chip'' Nottingham, Melissa Wojciak, and Howard Dennis, and Kevin Binger of the full committee, and also special thanks to Professor Steve Kelman of the John F. Kennedy School at Harvard University for his thoughts and input into the legislation.

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the Committee on Government Reform be discharged from further consideration of the bill (H.R. 1366) to designate the United States Post Office building located at 3101 West Sunflower Avenue in Santa Ana, California, as the ``Hector G. Godinez Post Office Building,'' and ask for its immediate consideration in the House.

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days within which to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on H.R. 3925.
