“Mr. Speaker, like a kid at a carnival, I rise in full
support of HR 527, The Responsible Helium Administration and Stewardship
Act of 2013.
Mr. Speaker, I’m relieved that and I’m sure that the American people
are relieved as well that Congress is finally going to do something
about one of the most pressing issues of the day, that is… we’ve got to
ensure access to helium for all.
Surely those harmed by sequestration and those harmed by the
Republican failure to appoint budget conferees appreciate the House
spending two full legislative days on this most critical issue. The
American people certainly understand the fact that 48 of this House’s
precious time was necessary to pass such a non-controversial bill.
I’m pleased to support this bill which shows that this Tea Party
congress will make the tough choice to keep children’s birthday parties
on schedule and give industries that rely on helium the lift that they
deserve.
Imagine, Mr. Speaker a world without balloons. How can we make sure
that the injustice of there being no helium for comedians to get that
high-pitched voice that we all hold near and dear to our hearts.
Imagine a world without balloons. Today the House
has chosen to simply float above it all. And finally we are going to do
something for the American people and we should all pat ourselves on the
back for that.
