Mr. DREIER. Madam Speaker, let me begin by thanking my friend for his superb management of this very important rule.
I'm happy to see my very good friend and very thoughtful colleague from Washington, the distinguished ranking member of the Committee on Armed Services, here; and I know Mr. McKeon and his team have been here as well. And I want to extend appreciation to them for their hard work in putting together a bipartisan package which will deal with what I argue is the one thing that only the Federal Government can do.
