Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, reforming the mission and the goals of ARPA-E will transform the Agency to do what the DOE does best: develop innovative technology solutions to complex science, energy, and national security challenges. I again want to thank my nine colleagues on the Science, Space, and Technology Committee who cosponsored H.R. 5906, including Chairman Smith and Ranking Member Johnson. I want to thank the new leadership staff at ARPA-E and the Department of Energy, who provided technical comments and policy recommendations as we developed this legislation. I urge the adoption of this bipartisan, good-government legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.
