BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. SMITH of Nebraska. Mr. Chairman, I thank Congresswoman Capito.

I appreciate your support for this amendment, the Capito-Smith-Salazar amendment. And I don't want to be repetitive because many good points were offered by the chairman of the committee as well as others. So I just want to add my support and certainly state that it is unfortunate that nearly 6 months since the legislation was signed into law for the Office of Rural Health, little action has been taken. So I believe this is a good step forward for those in rural America because they should not have to suffer simply because they live in rural America.
