Mr. Speaker, this is a great deal. These bills aren't high- profile bills, but they are very important. They affect our constituents directly, and we have to stay ahead of the crooks. Mr. Speaker, in closing, I encourage a ``yes'' vote on this bill, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Bilirakis) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 4814, as amended. The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the bill, as amended, was passed. The title of the bill was amended so as to read: ``A bill to direct the Consumer Product Safety Commission to establish a pilot program to explore the use of artificial intelligence in support of the mission of the Commission and to direct the Secretary of Commerce and the Federal Trade Commission to study and report on the use of blockchain technology and tokens, respectively.''. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________
