I thank the gentleman from Iowa for bringing this good, bipartisan amendment to the floor. I have seen the pictures on TV of what is happening out there in Cedar Rapids, and our thoughts and prayers are with that community out there tonight as they fight that challenge. Again, this amendment, as the gentleman explained, expedites the Cedar River project. I think this infrastructure project getting done quicker is important. I have always supported getting these things done faster because I believe time is money. The longer these things go, the more expensive they get. This amendment goes a long way into making sure that this project is pushed out there faster and it gets done. So I appreciate my colleague from Iowa for bringing this. I urge a ``yes'' vote. I yield back the balance of my time.
