there's no reason that the usda agriculture research facilities experimenting on farm animals should not be held to the same standards as federal research facilities that conduct life-saving disease research with the same kind of animals. i strongly urge my colleagues to support this aware act, the animal well fair and agriculture research endeavors. it is supported by the humane society, the society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, the humane legislative fund, and countless people across the country who deeply believe in animal well fair. this is our job in congress, and this is a small step that we can quickly make to show that we respond to animal abuse and that the federal government will lead by examples. and i would urge my colleagues to join congressman fitzpatrick and i as members of the congressional animal protection caucus to work together on behalf of god's creatures who cannot speak for themselves. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the chair now recognizes the gentleman from puerto rico, mr. pierluisi, for five minutes. mr. pierluisi: mr. speake

the usda estimates there are a million jobs associated with agricultural exports in this country, so it has a profound impact on the economy not just on the west coast but all across the country, and workers in south dakota and other places that are dependent upon like i said, a reliable supply chain. outdoor gear inc. family-owned business in south dakota they're a wholesaler, receives 5% of its inventory from west coast ports, has been forced to miss deadlines and pass up sales opportunities including in december, which is the holiday peak season. this is an issue that just really needs our focus. it's a huge drain on the economy, and i just urge all sides to come to a resolution in this dispute to find a solution as soon as possible. we can't afford to drag this on and have our economy pay this kind of price and if we can get this behind us, we can start focusing our energy and creativity on a lot of the other long-term infrastructure challenges that desperately need our attention as well. in na light, i wanted to ask a question question. i know all of you attempted to quantify wha
