“Rabbi Weissmandl's life story is uplifting and his actions are inspiring. This Gold Medal is an overdue honor and is supported by 296 Members of the House. Mr. Speaker, I urge its immediate passage, and I want to thank Chairman Hensarling, Ranking Member Waters, Representative Velazquez, and Representative Mast for their leadership on this important legislation. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Barr) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 2740. 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. ____________________”
