                    WORLD INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY DAY

  (Mr. CAARDENAS asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CAARDENAS. Mr. Speaker, April 26 marked World Intellectual 
Property Day, and this year's theme, ``Movies: A Global Passion,'' 
truly represents the importance of innovation and creativity to my 
district and to our entire country.
  Today, this industry extends beyond Hollywood studios to the millions 
who are involved in the filmmaking process. Whether it is working in 
the industry, or watching films on the big screen, people of all ages 
are captivated by movie magic.
  Not only does the industry bring enjoyment across the globe, it is a 
huge economic engine for California and the entire United States. 
Intellectual property protections will ensure the film industry 
continues to fuel the economy and keep jobs right here in the United 
States of America.
  Today, let's celebrate the ingenuity of the film industry and 
continue to defend the intellectual property rights that let us all 
experience a little magic.
