I thank the leadership of the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology's Environment Subcommittee, Ranking Member Bice and Chairwoman Sherrill, for leading on this critical issue, and I urge my colleagues to support this bill. I would simply note that we pass lots of pieces of legislation in this body every session. But every so often, we address a piece of legislation that makes a real difference in the lives of people, a piece of legislation that deserves to move as swiftly as possible through the process to enable its implementation. Mr. Speaker, again, I thank all of my colleagues, and I urge a yes vote.
