I claim the time in opposition to this amendment. The Acting CHAIR (Mr. LaMalfa). The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.

Again, I want to remind the gentleman that nobody has indicated that Russia has any intention--they see no signs that Russia has any intention of coming back into compliance. I think this is poorly thought out. We need to go forward and…

I thank the gentleman, Mr. Blumenauer, for his amendment, although I urge its defeat. I start off with pointing out that both the Obama administration and the Trump administration have decided the fact that Russia is in violation of the…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Alabama will be postponed. Amendments En Bloc No. 1 Offered by Mr. Thornberry of Texas
