“I, too, want to thank the bill sponsors, Representative Guthrie and Representative Castor, for working with us to improve this legislation. I am proud to serve as the ranking Democrat on the Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade Subcommittee, which Mr. Burgess is the chair of. I also want to thank Chairman Upton and Ranking Member Pallone on the full committee and Chairman Burgess who serves with me, as I said, on the Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade Subcommittee. This bill is the product of productive negotiations and it reflects the hard work of Members and staff to advance legislation through bipartisan cooperation. I urge all of my colleagues to support H.R. 985. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.”
