Today I rise in support of H.R. 4635, the Peer-2-Peer Counseling Act. Currently, women veterans represent over 9 percent of our Nation's veterans, and that number is expected to increase to 15 percent by the year 2030. As more women…

I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 263.

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 934 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 934 Resolved, That at any time after adoption of this resolution the Speaker…
