mr. chabot, for their leadership on this issue. now i'd like to yield one minute to the gentleman from indiana, mr. bucshon, for his statement and thank him for his leadership on this issue as well. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from indiana is recognized for one minute. mr. bucshon: thank you. i rise in strong support of h.r. 3086, the permanent internet tax freedom act. i believe that this permanent extension is necessary to ensure the internet remains accessible for all americans. the internet economy is growing and changing every day, and this pro-growth legislation will support the vibrant online marketplace of goods and ideas by preventing state and local tax policies from creating barriers to access. americans use the internet every day to communicate, to work, and to get an education. they shouldn't have to pay an unnecessary, unfair tax to do so. i thank chairman goodlatte for his work on this important bipartisan bill. i urge all my colleagues to vote yes. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempo
