And on a final note, last Thursday I announced the slate of committee members for the 118th Congress on the Democratic side. I want to thank every one of my colleagues for their continued good work and readiness to make life better for the American people.
I expect that by the end of this week, we will have the full slate of all the committees fully locked in, enabling us to move forward on the important work we have before us. We got a good deal, a tremendous amount, of bipartisan work done last year, and I am optimistic and hopeful that we can likewise continue this year in a productive, bipartisan spirit whenever possible. I look forward to having all committee memberships announced in full real soon.
