Mr. PLATTS. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Mr. Chairman, I would just like to again thank my colleagues who have worked on this and give special thanks to the staff of the majority and minority sides of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee both this session and for the last two sessions that I have been involved in this issue. We certainly wouldn't be here today without the tremendous work of the staff as well as the leadership of then-Chairman Davis, now-Ranking Member Davis, and current Chairman Waxman. So I appreciate everyone's participation in moving this very important issue forward.
This truly is about doing right by our courageous Federal employees who are willing to come forward when they see wrong and do right on behalf of their fellow citizens.
Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
