00:00I'd now like to recognize Vice Chair Murray for any closing remarks.

00:04Well, thank you, Chair Collins, and thank you to all of our colleagues who worked really hard,

00:08as well as our staffs, to make this market possible.

00:11Once again, as Senator Collins said, we have shown that when we work together in a bipartisan way,

00:16we can write bills that actually invest in our communities, reject damaging cuts from Trump,

00:22and set the country up for success.

00:25We do have more work ahead of us, but as the Chair noted,

00:28it is notable that we have now passed eight of our bills on a bipartisan basis.

00:33That's a clear sign that there is a bipartisan path to fund the government

00:37and to reject painful cuts and chaos.

00:39So I look forward to continuing that process and working in a bipartisan way

00:43to pass our fall year spending bills.

00:45Thank you, Vice Chair Murray.
