I just wanted to state, since it was mentioned earlier that a police union supports the Young-Mica bill, that the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, AFL-CIO, is a strong supporter of the bipartisan substitute, and this union would wind up losing employees if our substitute is passed.
Discussing support for a bipartisan substitute in relation to the Young-Mica bill.

Lipinski also questioned the passenger railroad's decision to temporarily reduce service on most long-distance routes from daily to three times a week. He argued that such cuts were "misguided" and would weaken the rail service.
May I inquire how much time I have remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Illinois has 7\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from Missouri has 6 minutes remaining.
Adequate funding for our passenger and freight rail service is a critical thing for improving safety, livability, and growing our economy.
