I would like to thank Ranking Member Cummings, Mr. Farenthold of Texas, and Mr. Lynch of Massachusetts for their great bipartisan support in this needed reform, and I urge my colleagues to support my bill. Mr. Speaker, 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. 2196, as amended. The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the bill, as amended, was passed. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________
