Madam Chair, I urge all of my colleagues to vote in favor of this amendment. And I want to thank all of those who have stepped forward to address this issue, including the bipartisan Congressional PFAS Task Force as well as the coleads of this particular amendment, Representatives Rouda, Delgado, Fitzpatrick, Kuster, Cisneros, and Kildee. I really appreciate the discussion here today. It is about time that we go beyond action plans and actually implement some policies that are going to affect people's lives in a positive manner back home. I urge adoption of this amendment and the underlying bill. I yield back the balance of my time.
