I stand, again, in strong support of the en bloc amendment and, certainly, the measure to which we are amending. Basically, we have here an opportunity to address ills that we see across America, contaminants, forever dangerous elements that cause all sorts of diseases and destruction, and it is important for us to move forward, I think, to take responsibility and make certain that these forever chemicals that don't break down, that cause cancer and other diseases, are addressed. We move forward with the opportunity here, assigning the great responsibilities to EPA so that we have a strong outcome. I think the amendment makes the bill even stronger. I have seen situations in my given region of Upstate New York where communities have been impacted. Madam Speaker, I encourage everyone to support the amendment and the bill at hand, and I yield back the balance of my time.
