DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA RETIREMENT PROTECTION IMPROVEMENT ACT OF 2004 -- (House of Representatives - September 28, 2004)

Mr. TOM DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 4657) to amend the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 to improve the administration of Federal pension benefit payments for District of Columbia teachers, police officers, and fire fighters, and for other purposes, as amended.

(BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT)

Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 4657, the District of Columbia Retirement Protection Improvement Act of 2004. I agree with the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Tom Davis) that the time has come to simply provide protection, and the best of protection, to those individuals in the District of Columbia who are in need of reform of their pension.

Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as she may consume to the gentlewoman from the District of Columbia (Ms. Norton).

(BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT)

Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
