Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Before I finish my time here, I do thank Kevin Brady. We had an excellent relationship at the committee. I can speak for all the Democrats on the committee that they had high regard for Kevin Brady when he was in the majority and when he was in the minority for the way he allowed the minority, us at the time, to use the time that was allocated to us. I never thought during that time that Mr. Brady did anything that was mean or malicious. In addition, I think what is important to point out here, as he did in his comments, is that we did big things during that time. When you stop and consider the CARES Act, when you consider what we did in the health space, retirement and savings, what we were able to do with USMCA, all of that was done in a bipartisan manner. I think part of it is a reflection of his personality, which fundamentally lacks malice. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
