                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. CHRISTOPHER H. SMITH

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, February 14, 2013

  Mr. SMITH of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, the House passage of H.R. 592 
by the large margin of 354-72 is a substantial statement of support for 
the houses of worship that have done so much for those suffering in the 
wake of natural disasters like Superstorm Sandy. It is also a strong 
affirmation of the constitutionality of the bill.
