Mr. Speaker, I yield to my friend. Mr. McCARTHY. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding. I am pleased that we were able to pass the FY17 Defense Appropriations bill on a bipartisan basis this week.

As for future legislation, I would refer my friend to the Appropriations Committee, and, as always, I will keep Members posted of any scheduling updates.
