I urge strong support for this bipartisan legislation. I urge all Members to vote in favor, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentlewoman from Illinois (Ms. Schakowsky) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 2647, 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. ____________________
