I don't have any more speakers, and I too am prepared to close. Mr. Speaker, as the final speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, let me again thank Mr. Murphy, the gentleman from Pennsylvania, and Mr. Shimkus, and the chair and the ranking member of all the committees of jurisdiction for their extraordinary work on this bill. This is a critical piece of legislation. All of the stakeholders who are involved in disposing of chemicals and shipping chemicals are all in agreement that this is necessary. In fact, the time has passed that we pass this type of legislation. We live in a new age of technology now, so there's no excuse for us not automating these procedures. This bill today enables that to happen. I want to thank all of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for their spirit of bipartisanship in getting this to the floor. I ask my colleagues to please vote ``yes'' on this important legislation. With that, I yield back the balance of my time.
