Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak in favor of H.R. 8340, the Taxpayer Funds Oversight and Accountability Act. I introduced this legislation alongside Representative William Timmons, and I thank him again for co-leading this important bill to promote efficiency and optimization in Federal agencies. I would note that this legislation was originally lead by former Ranking Member Gerry Connolly, and I am proud that I can help carry forward this tool and hopefully continue forward his legacy of trying to improve the way that our Federal Government functions.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the extraordinary life of my mother, Heikyung Chun Min, known to family and friends as HK, who passed away on August 29 at the age of 79. When you are young, you tend to think your parents are invincible, that they are larger than life, and that they will be around forever. If you knew my mom, you can understand why it was particularly easy to believe that about her. She was brilliant, funny, fiercely determined, and deeply loving. She had an incredible joy for life and what seemed like an endless supply of energy.
