Mr. Speaker. 3 months ago the House passed H.R. 47 providing for the minting of commemorative coins to help raise money for the restoration of the Statue of Liberty and the immigration facilities on Ellis Island. When this House passed H.R. 47 last March. I had hoped for prompt action in the other body so that we could begin minting and marketing these coins by the Fourth of July. Unfortunate legislative delays in the other body have set that schedule back to a point where we cannot afford any more delay. Every day that goes by is a day of sales lost that we can never recover.
