Madam Chair, I yield myself the balance of my time. Madam Chair, this is a very good amendment that will help create hundreds of thousands of jobs by getting projects that have been delayed all across this country moving. It is supported by many on both sides of the aisle in both Chambers of this institution. We have worked closely with Democrats and Republicans, and we have worked closely with the White House on this language. This is ready for prime time. This is ready to go. It is very appropriate to include it in this legislation because transportation projects will be the biggest beneficiary of this streamlining of permitting that will take place as a result of adoption of this legislation. I urge my colleagues to support this amendment and the underlying bill. I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Goodlatte). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment No. 21 Offered by Mr. Hensarling The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 21 printed in part B of House Report 114-326.
