Mr. MAST. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 7318) to amend the Federal Assets Sale and Transfer Act of 2016 to ensure that the Public Buildings Reform Board has adequate time to carry out the responsibilities of the Board, and for other purposes.

The Clerk read the title of the bill.

The text of the bill is as follows: H.R. 7318

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. MAST. 7318.

Mr. Speaker, H.R. 7318 amends the Federal Assets Sale and Transfer Act of 2016 to align the timeline for the sale of unneeded properties with the appointment of the Public Buildings Reform Board.

This bill will result in more savings for the taxpayer by providing the Board with sufficient time to identify properties to be sold or redeveloped.

Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill, and I reserve the balance of my time.
