on this debate we are about to pursue, I ask unanimous consent that 9 minutes be given to the opponents and 8 minutes to the supporters of this legislation. I would like to take 5 minutes now, reserving 5 minutes for Senator Menendez, and give my colleague from Illinois 8 minutes to control for people who are supportive of this legislation. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered.

This is what America gets and American workers get when you make port infrastructure investment.
There are some up here with us who have been evacuated. There are some that have lost their homes. So we are with you in this situation, and we're going to do everything we can to get the federal resources to help you.
We should be thankful for California Interagency Incident Management Team 7 and the firefighters who have continued to respond after the incident.
Today, it is the top fire in our nation. That means [the federal government is] going to give us the resources that we need here on the ground.
