Madam Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time to close. Madam Speaker, this is a strong conservative package that provides the President with the funding and authority he needs. I look forward to passing these bills through the House and Senate and getting them to the President's desk for his signature before time runs out on Friday. Madam Speaker, before I close, I want to give a special thanks to my staff director, Anne Marie Chotvacs, for her tireless work and leadership throughout the process. Her wisdom and guidance have been invaluable to me and all the committee members. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in voting in favor of these bills, and I yield back the balance of my time.
