I am sorry the Congresswoman had to read all of those names. Maybe, as we go on, things will change. We will learn and things will change. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from the great State of California (Ms. Lee), a member of the Appropriations Committee. Since her election to Congress, Congresswoman Lee has been a fearless and dedicated leader on ending poverty and health disparities in our Nation's communities, including gun violence. Like many who serve in this House, she is someone who has attended too many funerals and comforted too many grieving mothers, fathers, and colleagues because of gun violence.
