  Mr. RYAN of Wisconsin. Madam Speaker, for over a year, the 
Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has been working on literally a non-
stop basis on this legislation.
  Their objective non-partisan analysis is critical to us as we develop 
legislation. I want to thank Director Elmendorf and all at CBO for 
their service to Congress in providing analysis and budget estimates on 
this legislation.
  In addition, we held a markup last week on Monday that ran until 
nearly midnight. The House Budget Committee staff and staff in my 
personal office spent last weekend, all this past week, and this 
weekend working on this legislation. I want to thank them for their 
work on this legislation. A list of the staff appears below.
