“I thank H.R. 3010's sponsor, Representative Kathleen Rice from New York. It is long past due for us to recognize the contributions of all veterans, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, or gender identity. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of H.R. 3010, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from California (Mr. Takano) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 3010. The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the bill was passed. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________”
