Thank you, Madam Chair, for yielding. First, I want to thank the chair and ranking member for their work on fiscal year 2023 appropriations for Military Construction and Veterans Affairs. I also want to acknowledge the committee staff who have worked on this bill.
Unfortunately, just like the other markups before this one, this bill is based on a funding level that passed the House without Republican support. In addition, we disagree with several policy provisions that were both dropped from, and added to, this particular bill.
Thank you, my good friend, Mr. Diaz-Balart, for having us think about what's happening right now. We all work together and develop these bills that are so important, but we also work together as family. So thank you for that recognition. I know we're thinking about Chairman Price.
this bill is important because it has programs that will keep our roads and airways safe and invest in critical assets like ports, airports, and highways. It's a very important bill.
I want to thank the chair for yielding and for her work on the fiscal year 2023 bill for Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies.
I also want to recognize the ranking member of this subcommittee, Tom Cole. He serves as the vice ranking member for the Republicans on our committee. I truly value your advice and your expertise.
