“this is a good bill and it should be passed. Let me commend the Chair, the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Wolf) on his 6 years of chairing this subcommittee. He has done an outstanding job in that role, and I have enjoyed working with him these last 4 years as ranking member. He has been fair. On the other hand, he has been thoughtful and tough when he needs to be, he asks appropriate tough questions, and it has been a privilege to work with the gentleman these last 4 years as ranking member, and as a member of the subcommittee for the 6 years he has chaired as subcommittee chair. This is the last bill he brings to the House floor, and it is another good, fair bill, and we should pass it. Let me join my friend the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Wolf) in thanking all the staff that has worked on this bill. It is a complicated bill, many decisions to be made, and both majority and minority staff do an outstanding job. I thank them for it. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.”
