That kind of coordination is very important. It really needs to be seamless.

I just joined the hearing. I was in the House Armed Services Committee mark-up, so just joined, and I will hold on questions for now.

Madam Speaker, I have a motion at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Cicilline of Rhode Island moves to lay the motion to reconsider on the table. The SPEAKER pro tempore…

Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of this year's National Defense Authorization Act. I want to begin by thanking Chairman Smith, Ranking Member Rogers, and Ranking Member Banks for…

This legislation, today, that we passed, and the President will sign, will ensure that for federal purposes, if you are married, lawfully, any state in the country, every other state must recognize that.
