mr. sola: we all saw the tragedy that happened at the francis scott key bridge incident and the devastation that happened to baltimore. we also saw what happened in the suez canal when we had a ship get stuck. it is not only the construction of the bridge by the removal of a bridge called the bridge of the americas built in 1961 and that would paralyze cargo traffic. chair cruz: panama also recently renewed the concessions for two container ports to a chinese company. chinese companies are controlled by the communist party. how does china use control of those ports for economic gain? mr. sola: i am a regulator in the chinese ports you are referring to, let me put them in the scope, the one on the pacific is the same size as the port of houston and they do about 4 million containers a year. the one on the atlantic is the same as my hometown of miami. they do it by one million containers. where the port of houston generates $1 billion a year in miami does about $200 million the panama ports company paid zero for 20 years on that concession. it is hard to compete against zero. that is our econ

scott. >> welcome to the committee, good to see you here. i'm a little concerned that i feel like i heard the exchange between you and mr. marshall was somehow mr. marshall providing some incentive to -- what is the word i was looking for here -- brainwash a young girl about being a kansas jayhawks fan or a kansas city chiefs fan. i know that you are supporting the eagles, is that what i understand, for the super bowl. i thought that was an eagles jersey you had on. i just wanted to make sure you realize that the carolina gamecocks is also a very good school, find school for kids to follow, and we have an air force base. i know you don't love the air force, i just realized that kansas is a five state. we like kansas, and we hope that all things go well later on this week. but in the end, i would be remiss if i did not mention the carolina gamecocks with many kids who need to be educated, some in the near future. mr greer: i will be having to work with you on collegiate allegiances. >> second question for you, expanding market access for american-made goods is critical to our economic strength and our competitiveness. sou
