when his predecessor, senator portman and i were in ukraine, when we met with president zelenskyy, whenwe actually talked about the strong support and strong ukrainian community in ohio and minnesota or when we met with them, a major focus was the nuclear plant because we didn't know how long the ukrainians were able to hold the line to protect that plant from not just contamination in ukraine but contamination all over europe. that is and what our colleagues call a hodgepodge of a budget. what else, supporting nato. i was just with the leader of estonia. small country but they have given over 1% of their military budget of their country to ukraine. are we going to turn away on nato because we think it is a hodgepodge to support our allies in countries like great britain, our allies in countries like france and germany and estonia and latvia and lithuania and georgia and ukraine, we are just going to say it is a hodgepodge or how about what else is in that hodgepodge? what else is in the hodgepodge is things like air defense, things like munitions, small arms. that is what we are talkin

rob portman francis has the senate. i just don't think much going to get done in part because of this highly polarized political environment. so i want to pull on this thread a little bit and thank you for mentioning the poll we did, because we have been tracking the past several years. voter attitudes towards polarization. how bad they think it is, who are they blame. but it's this third question of like, do really care or want it. and i am asking because you you spent most of your career in the private sector, which is very market driven and always believed politics is also a very market driven industry. it's driven by the marketplace of voters. in our poll, we ask, you know, agree or disagree common ground and compromise. her noble goals. we we would like to see our leaders. to 87% say, yes, we want to see more common ground compromise literally the question. agree or disagree i'm tired of leaders who compromise on my values want them to stand up and fight the other side. 84% say they agree with that. it's as if vote

frustrations with this waiver is one of the reasons i worked with my colleagues, senators brown and portman, stabenow and braun and peters, to get buy america requirements into the infrastructure law. because of our work, that law requires the federal highway administration to request public notice and comment on its blanket waiver, something it did in may of this year. now, if you're a senator who opposes the fha blanket waiver, like me, you might, say, submit a comment during the open comment period, something i did. or ask the secretary of transportation to commit to resending the blanket waiver in a committee hearing, something i did. or maybe even vote for the legislation that requires the agency to review the waiver, something i did. along with 19 of my republican colleagues. but the sponsor of this resolution, senator rubio, did not do any of the things i just mentioned. it makes me think -- and the resolution itself suggests -- that he's more interested in scoring political points rather than doing the hard work of increasing the number of products and the number of programs that ar

work that we did investigating security changes needed at the capital along with senator peters and portmant the time over in the homeland security mmittee. the list of recommendations that senator blunt, the ranking member of the time and i into those two leaders came up with most of which have been implemented with bipartisan support and we just have a history of trying to do things on a bipartisan basis and that cries out right now the senate to take a lead hopefully before the end of the year. we look forward to working on this as w approach the elections and certainly as soon as possible. the record will remain open for a weeknd like i said we are trying to be speedy and hope the senate is not shut dow at that time. we will find a way even if it is, but we are hopeful given the nearly 80% of the senate and 80% of the few people that were gone in support of the bill last night that senator mcconnell youschumer put together to avoia government shutdown. so, we go from there in that spirit, and the committee is adjourned. thank you.
