I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I rise in support of his amendment. There is no question that the CRISI program is incredibly popular and improves the safety and efficiency of passenger and freight rail. It is the most in-demand program, and despite having over a billion dollars, we quite often get more requests. Mr. Chair, this is a very good and thoughtful request, and I am happy to support it.

We want to take away the possibility of a shutdown between now and the election.
The bill before us is a clean, narrowly tailored continuing resolution that keeps the government open and operating. Nothing more. Nothing less.
It gives the nation and our constituents certainty, certainty that the government will remain open, certainty that our service members will be paid.
The Senate has wasted the entire year and a half. They have not passed a single bill.
