I thank Ranking Member Walz. I want to commend Ranking Member Walz and Chairman Roe for this extraordinary piece of legislation that invests in the education of our veterans. I also am pleased that you included Majority Leader McCarthy's legislation of which I was a proud original cosponsor, the VET TEC Act. That will allow veterans, for the first time, to take technology courses and learn some of the skills that are going to be needed for the 21st century economy. It is no surprise that I read that the majority leader got this idea from his son, who spent a lot of time out in Silicon Valley and is well regarded. It is really heartening to see this House come together with the chairman's and ranking member's leadership on the jobs of the 21st century and making sure our veterans have opportunities for them.
