Now more than ever, as you have seen, just disasters across the United States.

We saw heavy rainfall that caused major flooding up and down the Missouri River.

I do applaud the House for coming together in a bipartisan way.

On behalf of Chair Shaheen and I, thank you so much for joining us. A great, great discussion.

Senator Rosen had followed too, and again, she thought this was exactly the right discussion to be having today.
