On the recordNovember 30, 2017
I am happy to yield the time to the gentleman. They tell me what to do sometimes, also, even on that side of the aisle; so, happy to yield. I just want to thank them. Mr. Speaker, everybody has examples of brownfields in their district throughout the State. They are all pretty good stories about returning them to productive use. I have one produced by the EPA from Danville, Illinois. There are eight sites. We can go through them. The point is, here is a successful program that we have authorized. Our appropriators helped appropriate money that really leverages a little bit of Federal dollars with private or local community dollars to bring these locations back to productive use. It is a good effort. Mr. Speaker, we have got other things on the horizon to work together on. I enjoyed the opportunity to do that. Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleagues, I ask them to vote yes on the bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.
