On the recordApril 7, 2022
The Senate has passed, and we have just had read, the passage of H.R. 7108, which is the Suspending Normal Trading Relations with Russia and Belarus Act. That passed 100 to zero in the United States Senate. We expect at the end of this series of votes for that bill to be on the floor on suspension. So there will be no break. We will continue to that. Thereafter, we expect the Suspending Energy Imports From Russia Act, which we voted on overwhelmingly, to be sent to us. That is currently 79 to zero in the United States Senate. We are going to pass both of those bills in this House as soon as we get them, and it is my expectation that will complete the business for this week. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Tonko). The question is on the passage of the bill. The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that the ayes appeared to have it.
