The ACE Act is the culmination of months of bipartisan work between the House, the Senate, committee staff, and key stakeholders. I want to thank my colleague, Mr. Wittman, who is managing this bill today, and all of my colleagues on the Natural Resources Committee. But so many people have worked to get us here, and for me, it is almost a special moment because decades of work have resulted--today is the opening of the Detroit International Wildlife Refuge, which will benefit from this legislation. It makes me kind of emotional today. This passage will authorize critical funding for America's fish and wildlife habitat. It is an example of what happens when we all come together to protect our natural resources. I urge my colleagues to support this legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.
