Nick Rahall: “I am honored to yield the customary 1 minute to the Democratic leader in the House of Representatives, the gentlelady…”

I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Lipinski), a member of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.

Your commitment to bipartisanship has proven that together we can do great things.

I am very happy at this time to yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Peterson), a strong supporter, the cosponsor of this legislation, original cosponsor of it, and the ranking member of the Committee on Agriculture.

I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Napolitano) and thank her for her help on the conference committee as well. (Ms. NAPOLITANO asked and was given permission to revise and extend her remarks.)
