I thank the leadership of this committee for their work. Mr. Chairman, I rise to support the en bloc amendment, and I wanted to specifically mention a provision that is very important to the folks who are in Palm Beach County and also Bedminster, New Jersey, which is this constituency of Mr. Lance. Mr. Chairman, regardless of what your political ideology is, it is very important for the President to be safe whenever he travels, and this often results in travel restrictions in the locality he visits. In terms of my locality, Palm Beach County, Florida, Mr. Trump has spent 70 days this year at Mar-a-Lago, dubbed as the winter White House. But here is what happens when he visits a small business operating airport called Lantana Airport, which is 10 miles from Mar-a- Lago: It is completely shut down, which means basically there is a lot of lost income. It is estimated almost $1 million a year. The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentlewoman has expired. Mr. DeFAZIO. Mr. Chairman, I yield an additional 1 minute to the gentlewoman.
