I wish to thank Chairman Gowdy for his support of this legislation, and for the hard work of Ranking Member Cummings of Maryland and Mr. Farenthold of Texas for all that they have done to bring this needed bill to the floor. Mr. Speaker, I urge adoption of the bill, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Russell) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 2229. The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the bill was passed. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________
