Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Ms. Jacobs moves to recommit the bill H.R. 497 to the Committee on Energy and Commerce…

Mr. Speaker, I thank Ranking Member Pallone for his leadership on this issue and for yielding me time. Vaccinating healthcare workers against COVID-19 is a simple and effective way to save lives. It helped protect our healthcare workers…
