                        Thursday, April 30, 2009

  Mr. EHLERS. Madam Speaker, I supported Reading is Fundamental, a 
national project, that received funding through H.R. 1105, the Omnibus 
Appropriations Act, 2009.
  Reading is Fundamental (RIF) is authorized under the Elementary and 
Secondary Education Act. RIF promotes youth literacy by providing 
underserved children access to free and new books at programs across 
our nation.
  It is a good program, and I am pleased to support it.
