“In closing, H.R. 1404 will shine a light on Vladimir Putin's financial networks that have stripped the Russian Federation of its resources and left the Russian people in poverty. It will also empower Congress, the intelligence community, and our allies to crack down on cross-border corruption. I want to thank my colleague on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Representative Stefanik, for joining me in this important legislation. Additionally, I want to thank the hardworking staff on both sides of the aisle on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Foreign Affairs Committee for their input on this critical legislation. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentlewoman from Florida (Mrs. Demings) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 1404, as amended. The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the bill, as amended, was passed. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________”
