Mr. Speaker. I thank the gentleman from New York for yielding the time. and I rise today in support of this conference report because it does work to take care of our Nations veterans. and it does work to protect our environment. For our Nations veterans. this bill provides for over a billion dollars in increases over last years bill for veterans .health care. The bill also provides additional funding for the veterans benefits administration to expedite claims processing. Also. important to my home district. this bill provides $850.000 for the University of West Florida through EPA to conduct an environmental health study in Escambia County. In 1998. EPA wrote Escambia County ranked 22nd out of more than 3.300 counties nationwide in the amount of toxic releases reported by the agency. Over the last couple of years. there has been mounting anecdotal evidence suggesting that these toxic levels have attributed to an increase in illnesses in northwest Florida. It is time to find some real answers. The study will compile environmental informatioA. coordinate research. evaluate risks to the health of our citizens. and provide the information necessary to remedy the situation. I want to express my thanks to the gentleman from New York . the gentleman from Florida

Mr. Speaker. I have before me a growing list of over 3.000 individuals who perished on September 11. 2001. This list. provided by the Congressional Research Service. includes the names of many of the victims of the recent horrific attacks on our great Nation. I stand before the House to pay my respects to our fallen brothers and sisters. and I encourage my colleagues to join me today. and for as many days as it takes. in honoring those individuals who lost their lives or are still missing. We have all heard the numbers. the devastation. the pain of the families and our Nations anguish. What we have not heard in Washington are these names. These individuals all represented a life. a family. an employer. a country. a way of life. I hope to in some small way honor these individuals by reading their names aloud for all to hear of Americas and our worlds tremendous pain and loss. These individuals will not be soon forgotten. By reading their names. we do not bring them back or even ease the pain of families and friends. but again we show that this House and our Nation honor our fallen brothers and sisters. As the wife of a retired professional firefighter of 30 years. this tragedy hit especially close to home. Hundreds of firefighters and police officers were killed and injured on September 11. 2001. because of their brave attempts to save victims of the brutal attacks. and left families. friends. and countrymen grieving the loss of these courageous souls. These dedicated professionals are in my thoughts and prayers. I. like many of my colleagues. lost constituents in this awful attack. I ask for Gods blessing on Virginias First District residents Teresa Martin. Marian Serva. Martha Reszke. Allen Boyle and Brenda Gibson. Please forgive me in advance for any mispronunciations of names. Additionally. I ask for Gods blessings on the following:

Mr. Speaker. we talk about two advisors. I do not know how we keep both of them from being bad. As I mentioned. our measure removes the obstacles for employers to provide millions of workers professional investment advice. The bill requires financial service providers to fully disclose their fees and any potential conflicts. In this bills current form. we protect people from flybynight groups and scam artists looking to make a fast buck. There are a number of safeguards that will protect workers and ensure that they receive investment advice on their 401(k) plans that is in their best interest. The pension fund managers at corporations and unions who make decisions about their defined benefit funds have access to professional portfolio managers. Now this bill will give rank and file the same protections. The Democrat substitute will not help people. It will just add layers of bureaucracy and could prevent people from seeking advice. People value their time. and they do not have time to seek and sift through paperwork and bureaucracy and two advisors. Importantly. our bill retains critical safeguards and includes new protections to guarantee that people receive sound investment advice. Since employees will work with a plan fiduciary advisor. people will be protected by State law. Federal law. as well as the SEC. People value their time. and they do not have time to sift through a whole bunch of new regulations. That is just wrong. Mr. Speaker. I urge my colleagues to reject the Democrat substitute and pass H.R. 2269 the way it is.
