In closing, I would like to just acknowledge to the Chair the support of the Energy and Commerce Committee, particularly my good friend, Mr. Tonko from New York, as well as Congresswoman Debbie Dingell, for introducing this legislation and all of the staff that has worked on this. I urge adoption of this amendment as part of fairness to all Americans who face this issue, and I yield back the balance of my time.
