Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume to close. The amendments to H.R. 5641, the SPEED Recovery Act, is reasonable and will help to strengthen accountability. Mr. Speaker, I thank Senators Portman and Peters, who are the bipartisan leaders of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. Without their leadership in the Senate to push forward this measure, we would not be here today. Mr. Speaker, I thank Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri, who also helped by being engaged in this particular issue. Finally, I thank our great staff on both sides to get this bill to the finish line, especially my subcommittee staff director, Johanna Hardy and Maddy McCaslin. Mr. Speaker, I urge support of this important legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.
