                       THE MONTFORD POINT MARINES

  (Ms. BROWN of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. BROWN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, as we approach the 236th birthday 
for the Marines, I want Members to know that in the audience is the 
Montford Point Marines. November 10 will be 236 years for the Marines. 
We are paying a special tribute today to the Montford Point Marines. 
They are in the House today, they are in the gallery, and I would like 
the men and women of this body to give them a standing ovation for 
their service to the United States. We thank you.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to say, this is one of the greatest bipartisan 
efforts, Mr. Bachus and both sides of the aisle and the leadership. I 
wish I could say what they say--y'all help me--ooh rah! Anyway, let's 
pass this bill.


                Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Gardner). Members are reminded that the 
rules of the House prohibit references to occupants of the gallery.
