I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McCAUL. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I am prepared to close. Madam Speaker, I thank my good friend, Brian Fitzpatrick, for his work in the FBI. I thought it was very compelling, the testimony about putting children's lives as the highest priority as he served as a very distinguished special agent in the Bureau and now serves in this Congress. I think Georgetown University ranked him as the most bipartisan Member of this body, of the House. I take pride in being on the top of the list, but Mr. Fitzpatrick's service in this House has been to issues of importance to Americans. Most Americans don't want us bickering. Most Americans want us working across the aisle to get good things done for the people of this country. The gentleman has demonstrated that every day I have witnessed him in office in this Congress and since he has served in office. Madam Speaker, I thank Congressman Castro for his leadership. Finally, Madam Speaker, being a Catholic myself, I do want to thank Catholic Relief Services and the development community for their work on this bill, working so hard to get to this point where we are now on the floor of the House of Representatives in the United States Congress getting ready to pass such an important bill that will save so many children's lives. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
