I thank Chairwoman Johnson for yielding. Let me just take point of personal privilege as a Member of this House and salute the gentlewoman for her leadership, her experience, and the years that she has given to this Congress. I don't care what any colleague says on the other side of the aisle. Today, because of the gentlewoman's leadership and all others on this end--some on the other side--understand that this is about national security, understand that this is about our economy, and understand that this is about our workforce. I am so proud to be from the great State of Ohio. It will be a game- changer with tens of billions of dollars being invested into what may end up as the largest semiconductor manufacturing plant in the world. I will tell you, Mr. Speaker, that Democrats will stand strong because we understand the difference from politics and posturing and making a difference in industries that we all use and need. Mr. Speaker, I am asking all of my delegation, Democrats and Republicans, to stand up for what is right and vote for this bill. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
