I, too, urge passage of this commonsense solution. I very much also appreciate the bipartisan agreement that we have reached that this is, indeed, a problem we should have fixed many years ago. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in passing H.R. 5245, as amended, 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. 5245, as amended. The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the bill, as amended, was passed. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________
