I am also pleased a number of the provisions provided by the Committee on Homeland Security are included in division F of this bill. These provisions authorize FEMA's senior law enforcement adviser, ensure an appropriate focus on good management practices at FEMA, support vital training programs for first responders, and codify the Office of Disability Integration and Coordination to ensure individuals with disabilities are integrated into disaster preparedness and response efforts. I look forward to continuing to work with Subcommittee Chairman Barletta of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee as this bill progresses through the process. Mr. Speaker, I want to commend Chairman McCaul for his leadership in getting this bill through the committee and onto the floor, and I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting this bill.
