Madam Chair, continue to invest. Continue to invest. It is going to continue unless this amendment passes. We are going to keep throwing good money after bad. We are going to continue to invest in Chinese slave labor. It needs to be understood that the material that makes these batteries--even though the material that comes to the United States of America, we don't produce any of our own material here; it is not allowed--is going to come from slave labor in China. If that is not bad enough, the raw material is going to come from child slave labor in Africa promoted by the Chinese. You are going to continue to invest because you are going to be forced to continue to invest in them. This is an easy one, Madam Chair. The American people are sick of investing in these things that are immoral and unaffordable. I urge adoption, and I yield back the balance of my time.
