I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Mr. Chairman, I am very supportive of this amendment. The gentlewoman has been leading on this topic for quite a while through the REINS Act.

Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of this amendment. I would love to see it in every bill that we pass in appropriations.
