In closing, let me just say some thank yous. I thank the chairman of our subcommittee, Chairman Latta, for his great work. I also thank Chairman Walden, and, of course, all of the staff on his side of the aisle for their work to help us reach this bipartisan agreement. I especially want to thank them for the inclusion of the HOT CARS legislation. Mr. Speaker, I thank Ranking Member Pallone on our side and also thank Michelle Ash, Lisa Goldman, Caroline Paris-Behr, and my staff, Matt Hayward, for their great work on the subcommittee on this legislation. We will continue working together to send consensus legislation. I appreciate the opportunity to work with Chairman Latta and to get this to the floor today as a suspension bill. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
