I have no additional speakers. I reserve the right to close. Mr. McHENRY. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Whistleblowers provide an important function. We want to make sure that there are legal constraints on this, obviously.

Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.
