Mr. President. I rise today to urge passage of H.R. 47. the companion bill S. 233. which I introduced in January. This legislation requires the U.S. Mint to strike commemorative coins of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The proceeds from the sale of these coins will be used to reimburse the mint and to assist in the rehabilitation of the Statue of Liberty and the Ellis Island Immigration Center. I am pleased that the concerns of the majority leader and the senior Senator from Idaho. Senator McCLUmR. have been addressed satisfactorily. I am proud to support the provisions of the bill that require the minting of both gold and silver bullion coins.
