           By Mr. KUCINICH:
       H.R. 2990.
       Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       The constitutional authority on which this bill rests is 
     Article I, Section 8, which enumerates the power of Congress 
     to coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign 
     coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures. The bill 
     will re-assert the sole grant of constitutional authority to 
     Congress to create money.
