            By Mr. RODNEY DAVIS of Illinois:
       H.R. 1685.
       Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       Under Article I, Section 8, Clause 18, the Necessary and 
     Proper Clause. The bill is constitutionally authorized under 
     the Necessary and Proper Clause, which supports the expansion 
     of congressional authority beyond the explicit authorities 
     that are directly discernible from the text.
