On the recordMarch 12, 2019
I must say that my friend from Missouri has been indefatigable in trying to get this bill passed. It looks like it received some notice, at least the last time, in the Senate. I have joked with my friend that maybe if he got somebody else to introduce it, we could get the bill passed. But he keeps trying. If at first you don't succeed-- I believe that because he has understood that these advisory committees are very important and sometimes amount to enacting legislation, so important are some of them to our process, that he has to keep plugging away until we get it done. I thank him for doing so. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Ms. Adams). The question is on the motion offered by the gentlewoman from the District of Columbia (Ms. Norton) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 1608. 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. ____________________
