I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Nadler), the coauthor of the amendment.

In conclusion, I want to thank the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Culberson). It is, indeed, the intended language and we believe the actual language of the amendment that would not interfere with any valid court orders or warrants. We are…

Reclaiming my time, one of the areas we would love to work with you on is Cooperative Institutes funding, the partnerships that NOAA has with our institutions of higher education to better leverage our taxpayer dollars. I reserve the…
