To close. Madam Speaker, the NOAA Chief Scientist Act is smart legislation that codifies an important existing role at NOAA. A scientific agency needs scientific leadership, and H.R. 3952 ensures that NOAA will always have that in place. I thank the gentlewoman from New Jersey (Ms. Sherrill), the chair of our Environment Subcommittee, for introducing this bill. I also thank the gentleman from Iowa (Mr. Feenstra), the ranking member of the Research and Technology Subcommittee, for leading the Republican side. Madam Speaker, this is a smart, simple bill, and I urge my colleagues to support it, and I yield back the balance of my time.
