I thank my friend for those comments. Again, I want to provide maximum flexibility to what is a very difficult job, and that is reclaiming those obligated funds from each one of our districts back home. The question is: Will we trust our local officials to make the best decisions or will we structure how those decisions are made here? I trust our local engineers, our local builders, and our local folks in charge of our public safety. Mr. Chairman, I encourage my colleagues to support this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Woodall). The amendment was agreed to. The Acting CHAIR. The Chair understands that amendment No. 29 will not be offered. Amendment No. 32 Offered by Mr. Budd The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 32 printed in part B of House Report 115-295.
