I also wish to send my very deep condolences to those families who will have lost their loved ones in this very tragic bridge collapse. I know what this kind of difficulty--whether it is an earthquake or a bridge collapse-- brings for a city. I wish to extend my thanks to the wonderful efforts made by the emergency forces and the medical team of the city of Minneapolis. I think it was very special. I saw many acts of heroism. I very much agree with what the majority leader said about our deteriorating infrastructure. My thoughts went to the great Golden Gate Bridge. I think we need to pay more attention to our homefront and to those items. But at this point I send my very deep condolences to those who will have lost family members and loved ones.
