could we have order? First, thank you to all colleagues for your amazing cooperation. I hope we vote this down because we already did vote down a similar amendment. This is another amendment that would devolve the Federal Aid Highway Program back to the States. In closing, let me quote from the American Road and Transportation Builders. This is what they say: Allowing States to opt out of the Federal highway program ignores the role of the U.S. highway network in supporting the national economy and the reliance of each State's economy on the ability to ship products efficiently across borders. This is not good for our economy. I urge a ``no'' vote.
