So that leads to my next question. Youre tracking that particular amount of money, if you will, and where its going, its going strictly to new infrastructure . To modernization . What is the plan there . Right. Well, currently today, if we exit a property, that money gets returned to the u. S. Treasury. Were not able to reinvest that. The infrastructure bill would change that. So thats why were very supportive of that. What we do save are the recurring savings, the maintenance. So we dont heat the buildings, we dont have to repair them if we get rid of them. That remains in our general what we call our nrn budgets, our recurring maintenance budgets. Do you think there will be a way to, in some way, get an idea of how its converted directly or indirectly to care or. Yes. Services. Yes. And what we would plan on diagnosis is reinvesting that money back into probably nrn or minor construction projects. Okay. We could track that. Thank you. Another question i have is one of the things that
Heres the debate from this morning. Man. I yield myself such time as i may consume. The chair the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Goodlatte private title 3 of the americans with disabilities act is a critical tool for disabled to viduals to gain access title places like restaurants and shopping centers. This has been the case for disabled Business Owners who testified before the house Judiciary Committee. Lee key testified in 2016.

Its meant the largest peacetime expansion in our history, and i can guarantee you they wont want to throw that away for a return to budgets beholden to the liberal special interests. Watch American History tv every weekend on cspan3. It was the president of the United States who sent out a tweet about this event yesterday. Heres the tweet, saying that my prayers and condolences to the families of the victims of the terrible Florida Shooting. No child, teacher or anyone should ever feel unsafe at an american school. Florida senators also weighing in. Republican senator marco rubio. It is clear attack was designed and executed to maximize loss of life, and he also went on to say, in days ahead, it will be increasingly evident that killer in todays Florida Shooting gave plenty of indications of what was to come. Also, bill nelson from florida, giving his thoughts off twitter saying, sandy hook, pulse nightclub, ft. Lauderdale airport, las vegas, and now parkland, florida. When is this goi
Armed Services Committee on their respective commands. This is an hour and 45 minutes. We will call the meeting to order. Were going to receive testimony from two of my favorite people, general lori robinson. I have to say that i taught her everything she knows from when she was the Wing Commander in the ticker air force base in oklahoma, and from curt tid, commander for the u. S. Southern command. I think there is a lot of overlap.

Because if you want it badly, you are going to get it, and if you dont want it, that is okay with me, too, but we have to rebuild the infrastructure and i said this morning as of a couple of months ago, we have spent 7 trillion in the middle east. 7 trillion, and what mistake.
