Sure. Well, one, I thank you, Mr. Swalwell, for your leadership in the Future Forum and your focus on these veterans issues. I actually represent more veterans than any Democrat in the United States Congress. Actually, I think my region is a whole lot stronger as a result of that because we have men and women who have served our country who choose to make the Olympic Peninsula or the Tacoma area their home.

My gratitude to Chairwoman Bice and to you, Mr. Chairman, and to Ranking Member Morelle, is that you are loving critics of the institution, and that matters.
Thank you, Madam Chair and my colleagues, for joining us here for our first Modernization Subcommittee markup.
We will make sure you all see copies of what it does, and to me, this is a good government bill.
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.
