Mr. GOHMERT. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

Madam Speaker, H.R. 2134 would create a commission to study and report on the potential creation of a National Museum of American Latino Heritage. The commission would be comprised of 23 members appointed by the President, the Speaker, the House Minority Leader, the Senate Majority Leader, and the Senate Minority Leader. The commission would issue a report on the cost of the museum, fund-raising, its impact on other Hispanic- and Latino-related museums, the possible location, and how the museum should be operated.

I appreciate the cooperation of Chairman EHLERS of the Committee on House Administration to allow this bill to be scheduled today, and I urge adoption of the bill.

Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
