Representative Tonko, as you were talking, I reached back and I found this display that we sometimes use. These are critical investments. Yes, infrastructure, the dams and the roads, those are critical investments. But here is the most critical investment of all. These are American workers being educated, getting prepared for the new technology jobs, carrying on the jobs of the future. This is where we need to make a critical investment in America, and this is a key part of the Make It In America agenda--that is, the education, labor and education, making sure our labor force is well educated and well prepared for the jobs of the future. Sheila Jackson Lee, you were looking like you wanted to get in the middle of this.
