Mr. GREEN of Texas. Madam Speaker, I thank Mr. Scott for yielding, and I recognize my friend, Ms. Foxx as well.

Madam Speaker, I have been to the funerals. I know the meaning of ``in the line of duty.'' I have seen the suffering. If I can do anything to help persons who rush in as we rush out, who are willing to put their lives on the line for us, I am going to do it.

Madam Speaker, 48 States have done it. The Federal Government is just a little too late. I have been there.

Madam Speaker, I support the legislation, and I would ask my colleagues to do so as well.
