mr. hinojosa: i want to thank congressman mike thompson of california for joining me on this amendment. mr. speaker, my amendment to the h.r. 4800 is simple. it would increase funding for the specialty crop pest program at the department of agriculture by $2.5 million in order to provide more funding to strongly combat the invasive pests that threaten our agriculture industry. from the mediterranean fruit fly which attacks fruits and nuts throughout california to the imported fire ant that destroys corn and soybean and okra in louisiana, the need for this program is higher than it has ever been. nowhere is this more important than in my own congressional district in south texas, which is being ravaged by citrus greening. citrus greening is one of the most destructive plant diseases in the world. once a citrus tree is infected, it produces bitter, unusable fruit and kills the tree itself within a few years. there is no cure and it has proven difficult to eradicate. as a result, over half of the trees in every citrus orchard in florida have contracted this disease. right now, both cameron

mr. thompson, for five minutes. thank you, mr. speaker. mr.aker, coordinated medical rehabilitation, provided in an in-patient rehabilitation setting is crucial to medicare beneficiaries with injuries, disease, disabilities or chronic conditions. unfortunately, beginning in 2010, the centers for medicare and medicaid services began placing limitations on what types of therapy a beneficiary could receive, despite the professional judgment of the treating physician. this ties a physician's hands and it limits recreational therapy, for example, from being prescribed despite it being medically necessary in many cases. now, these services are often prescribed to assist an individual in transitioning from their rehabilitation hospital to the home, helping patients recover their functions and decreasing the chances of costly readmissions. c.m.s., the medicare agency, should not have put in place barriers for physicians and their patients when determining the best course of action for recovery. this is why i introduced the bipartisan access to in-pati

mr. thompson, for five minutes. thank you, madam speaker. madam speaker, yesterday the united states fish and wildlife service announced it will extend the deadline on its decision whether to list the northern long ear bat as endangered under the endangered species act in order to further review public comments on the proposal. the announcement comes in response to a letter initiated by members of the pennsylvania congressional delegation outlying the lack of sufficient data used to support the designation and cautioning moving forward with the listing would constitute a fundamentally ineffective approach to species restoration. while severely harming the economy. the service initially cited the effects of the white nose syndrome as the lone basis for its proposed endangered listing. although the disease is impacting the long ear bat in areas of 38 states, the services acknowledged that the economic activities that would be most affected by the proposed listing have little impact on the population numbers or the decline of the species. madam

mr. speaker. i spoke yesterday to my constituent thompson who let constituents across the house was anxious because of his sons passport had arrived on time. she was quite shocked to find that the passport agency returned a surplus of 73 million pounds. what does it say about the values of his government that the chancellor is made into profits over her constituents misery? >> first of all what i would say to his constituent and indeed any other constituent in this house this is an important issue. it is a difficult issue. we must get it right is this. anyone who needs to travel within the next weekend who has waited more than three weeks through no fault of their own will be fast-tracked at no extra cost of a can get a passport in time because i don't want anyone to miss their holiday because of these difficulties. in terms of what has happened we have seen a 15% increase over the last week in the number of passports being processed that we need to go faster. the home secretary will be updating the house this afternoon. >> is the prime minister aware of the growing sentiment that is the publicatio
