“In closing I would like to reiterate my admiration for the valiant efforts of the senior Senator from Oregon on behalf of this bill and rural counties. He has spent countless hours working to create this legislation and to ensure that it passes through the Senate, and should be recognized as a true hero to rural America. I urge my colleagues in the Senate to acknowledge the critical importance of this work and to give this bill, and the rural counties of America, their full support.”
