I ask unanimous consent to give my remarks while seated at my desk. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

I thank Senator Leahy for attempting to address my concerns about this bill. I thank his committee staff for working with my committee staff to insert clarifying report language.

I am interested in the children who still have to be reached out to, in the Alabamas and West Virginias and Pennsylvanias and Ohios, et cetera.
