I have no further speakers. I ask my colleagues to join me in passing H.R. 4305, as amended, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Garcia of Illinois). The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman…

Without good data, we do not know the scope of the program.

We need to find out more; we need better data.

We are very, very concerned about how, you know, the changes in the terms of SNAP benefits are going to affect our Nation's veterans, active duty, Guard, and Reservists.

I have no further speakers. I am prepared to close. I reserve the balance of my time.
