Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time to close. I appreciate Representative Suozzi's dedication to this important issue. This bipartisan bill will honor the bravery of the 53 hostages of the Iran hostage crisis, the U.S. Embassy employees, who were held hostage for 444 days. Mr. Speaker, I again thank Representative Suozzi for championing this issue and urge my colleagues to support this bill. I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Auchincloss) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, S. 2607. 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. ____________________
