Detail. Were all on the same page, both tracks, the bipartisan track and the Budget Reconciliation Track are proceeding apace and we hope to have voted on both of them in the senate and house in july. And im completely fascinated by this, rachel, because nothing like this has ever been done before. I dont know how theyre going to do the two bills because if youre the republicans and youre negotiating with the democrats on Infrastructure Bill, normally you would be saying to them, so this is the bill, right . Theres not extra, like, thing your not talking about. Yeah, theres this other giant Reconciliation Bill with taxes and all the other stuff, environmental stuff that you guys dont like, were going to do that on a separate track. And republicans are supposed to walk out of the room and say forget it. Ed markey is here. Hes going to be able to explain to me how the senate is going to do something that its never done before because i have no idea how this works. I trust Senator Markey

I am proud to say it led to the first bipartisan package in decades. It took time and a willingness to acknowledge that no party has a monopoly on good ideas. M proud of what we are what we created together. Although we were already holding these hearings in our committee, we require that others hold them also so that all members have a chance to be heard in front of congress. Hopefully, more good ideas have the chance to see a light of day. I couldnt ask for a better partner than our Ranking Member, tom cole.

I think hes going to appear remotely. I appreciate him coming. And what ill do
