I ask all of my colleagues to join me in passing H.R. 240 as we did unanimously in committee. I suspect that if this bill were brought to a vote before the entire body, it would pass with near-unanimous support. Mr. Speaker, I yield back…

I thank the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Soto) for yielding. Madam Speaker, I rise today in strong support of H.R. 49 to designate the Pulse nightclub as a national memorial site and to honor those whose lives were taken by a gunman with…
