“I thank Mr. Costello for yielding. I want to congratulate him on already being an effective Member of Congress. I also want to thank Representative Bonamici for her continued work on this amendment and seeing it through; also, Representative Carlos Curbelo, a member of our committee, for his effectiveness to date. It has been a great partnership all the way around. I want to associate myself with Mr. Curbelo's remarks and also simply add that this amendment helps States examine all of the assessments given to students, helps improve how student assessments are used, and possibly limits how many are given. This is a commonsense amendment, and I am happy to support it and urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to do so as well.”
