Mr. MERKLEY. Mr. President, I would like to thank the Democratic staff of the Senate Budget Committee for all their hard work in both removing the corrupt provisions of this bill that ignored working families and fighting against tens of billions of dollars being funneled to the President's rogue agencies. Staff includes: Ben Ward, Mike Jones, Jill Harrelson, Josh Smith, Tyler Evilsizer, Melissa Kaplan-Pistiner, Misha Rafiq, Brian Lyons, Anna Barnes, Connor Jennings, Ethan Rosenkranz, Andrew Cobian, Anirudh Srirangam, Fiona Forrester, Lauran Pauley, and Hilary Gelfond-Gross.
