I yield back our remaining time. Vote on Motion to Discharge The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Peters). All time has expired. The question is on agreeing to the motion.

There's no doubt that rail has a chance to connect communities throughout the United States and places like Minnesota that have service but want to expand that service.
