“In closing, I would like to, once again, thank the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. LaHood), and I also thank the 40 cosponsors who have been pushing this important, bipartisan resolution. By passing this resolution, we show our support for the efforts of the United Bid Committee to bring the excitement of the World Cup tournament to the United States once again, for the first time since 1994. Mr. Speaker, I urge unanimous support for this measure, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Poe of Texas). The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from California (Mr. Royce) that the House suspend the rules and agree to the concurrent resolution, H. Con. Res. 111, as amended. The question was taken. The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.”
