Responding to my good friend from Georgia, we are going to have a chance to vote on this in the rule, and we will see whether or not a majority is in favor of the changes that were made as part of this rule package. I would say to my friend, as part of the changes, we are adding Gold Star families and other children to this entire SECURE Act package to benefit them because in the race to give a $2 trillion tax cut to the richest Americans, the Republican Party forgot about a lot of families and a lot of children. That is being corrected in this bill and in this amendment. I urge my friend to take another look at it because this rule does benefit Americans all across the board and all income levels. Madam Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman from Massachusetts (Mrs. Trahan).
