On the recordJuly 13, 2015
I would like to thank the gentlewoman from California, Norma Torres, for her remarks in support of the bill. I would like to thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to again thank Representative Paul Cook for his support of this legislation. I would like to thank Chairman Bishop and Ranking Member Grijalva for their work to bring this noncontroversial bill to the floor before the end of the summer. I look forward to working together in the future on additional legislation to provide our tribal nations with the tools to create their own economic opportunity through self-determination and self-governance. I urge my colleagues to come together, once again, and pass this commonsense bill that will create jobs and spur economic development for the Morongo Tribe and the city of Banning. Vote ``yes'' on H.R. 387. 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. Ruiz) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 387. 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. ____________________
