I would like to thank our ranking member, Mr. Simpson, for his partnership and thank our subcommittee staff for their hard work: Jaime Shimek, Farouk Ophaso, Scott McKee, Marcel Caldwell, Mike Brain, Mark Arnone, and Angie Giancarlo on the other side. I want to thank all of our committee members, especially dear friends like Chairman Visclosky; Chairman Serrano; Chairwoman Lowey; and on the Republican side, Mr. Graves, all of whom are retiring.

May God bless you all. I urge my colleagues to support this bill.
