(Mr. BAUMGARTNER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. BAUMGARTNER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to welcome Greater Spokane, Incorporated, on their annual fly-in to Washington, D.C. Greater Spokane, Incorporated, is a regional chamber of commerce and a foundational advocate to all businesses across Spokane, serving as a supportive organization that drives job growth throughout our region and promotes public policy opportunities. Because of the tremendous impact of GSI on our community, the Spokane region can expand business opportunities and promote a better life. It is always wonderful to see GSI every year, and they are most welcome in our Nation's Capital. Mr. Speaker, to everyone in eastern Washington, please know that I see enough people in this Washington on a daily basis. Everyone is most welcome, and it would be wonderful to host them here, as well. ____________________
