I thank the gentleman for yielding the time. I rise in support of this en bloc package, which includes three of my amendments. My first amendment prioritizes funding to support labor reforms in Mexico that will improve Mexican and U.S. workers' standards of living so the USMCA can fulfill its promise. The second prioritizes BUILD grant funding for green infrastructure projects that will decarbonize and electrify U.S. ground transportation. My final amendment prohibits Secretary DeVos from funneling public school money to private schools through so-called Education Freedom Scholarships. These amendments protect workers, promote investments in green infrastructure, and safeguard public education. Madam Speaker, I thank the chair for considering them and I urge my colleagues to support this package.
