Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time to close. Mr. Speaker, the last Congress, we tried to get together on a reauthorization of WIOA, but we couldn't come to an agreement. We passed the bill. It didn't pass the Senate. I am pleased that this Congress, Chairwoman Foxx and I and the committee's staff were able to get together and work together on a bipartisan draft of the Stronger Workforce for America Act. I am grateful that the committee staff, particularly Scott Estrada and Marek Laco, spent countless hours drafting this legislation. This bill is an example of the great work that can get done when we work together, so I urge my colleagues to support the legislation, which will meaningfully strengthen our workforce. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
