I thank the gentlewoman for yielding and for her incredible leadership. I rise in support of this package, which contains two amendments I have introduced. My first amendment addresses the harmful algal blooms impacting many north Jersey lakes and harming our ecotourism, local businesses, and residents. We need the U.S. Geological Survey to report to Congress on ways to combat toxic HABs like those in Greenwood Lake and Lake Hopatcong. My second amendment prohibits any funds in the bill being used to promote the sale of vaping and dangerous e-cigarette products, which can harm our children. We must do everything we can to help save lives and protect families by combating the youth vaping epidemic. Mr. Speaker, I urge support for this set of amendments.
