“First, I thank my friend, Chairman Price, for working with me to include a number of provisions important to Members on both sides of the aisle. Mr. Chair, I congratulate Mr. Meadows for his amendment to help unmanned aircraft manufacturers, one of our most important and innovative transportation sectors. I also thank Mr. Graves and Mr. Scalise on their tireless work on behalf of their constituents to help them recover from devastating hurricanes and floods. Mr. Burchett has a great amendment that increases funding for highway and bridge infrastructure. Also, Mr. Chair, I want to mention Mr. Calvert and Mr. Cook. They have cosponsored an amendment to address an issue that is critical to Amtrak employees in their districts. Finally, I congratulate Mr. Smith of New Jersey for his tireless advocacy for veterans housing, as he always does. Mr. Chair, I urge a ``yes'' vote on this, and I reserve the balance of my time.”
