I wanted to say two things. First, I would like to thank this House and especially the Budget and Appropriations Committee, which considered this Bill extensively. Actually, there was a time, and I want to say this off-record, that I went to the Budget and Appropriations Committee to defend this Bill and its amendments. I went thinking that it is going to be combative and I was so disarmed by the Committee. The amendments in this Bill received unanimous consensus that I did not even expect. I thank the Members for showing patriotism when it comes to such matters without political consideration. What transpired in the Committee that day was really encouraging. I want to ask Hon. Pukose to second. For this one, I want to go across in that spirit for him to second the Motion."}
