            By Mr. PAUL:
        H.R. 1831.
        Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       This act is justified by the Commerce Clause of the United 
     States Constitution that, by granting Congress the power to 
     regulate commerce among the several states, allows Congress 
     to prevent the federal government from interfering in 
     Americans' ability to grow and process industrial hemp and by 
     the Ninth Amendment and Tenth Amendment of the United States 
     Constitution that recognizes that rights and powers are 
     retained and reserved by the people and the states.
