Concrete Masonry Products Research, Education, and Promotion Act of 2015

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 985, the Concrete Masonry Products Research, Education, and Promotion Act, which is authored by my good friend and colleague, Representative Brett Guthrie of Kentucky.
Mr. Speaker, this bill is the product of years of hard work by Members from both sides of the aisle. I am so glad to see it come before the House today.

This legislation presents a unique opportunity for the concrete masonry industry to join together for critical research and education.

Not just that, it also empowers the industry to fairly and effectively promote the sale of their products. It will lead to better consumer awareness, higher quality and safer building materials, and more jobs.

The best part is that this legislation comes at no cost to the taxpayer. These zero-cost opportunities that empower the private sector to come together to do what they do best are just the solutions we need to spur job growth and economic development.

I thank Mr. Guthrie for his tireless work on this bill, and I urge my colleagues to support it today.
