Derek Kilmer: “My gratitude to Chairwoman Bice and to you, Mr. Chairman, and to Ranking Member Morelle, is that you are loving critics…”

You know, you mentioned the baseball field, you know, only because Leader Scalise was a Member of leadership was Capitol Police even present that day.

Thank you, Madam Chair and my colleagues, for joining us here for our first Modernization Subcommittee markup.

I thank the lead sponsor of the bill, Mr. Carey, both for his leadership on this bill and for his partnership on the Modernization Subcommittee. Mr. Speaker, I have no further speakers, and I yield back the balance of my time.

It is rare for someone from Montana to sign on to a bill that is focused on helping coastal tribes relocate.
