I am pleased to rise in support of this legislation. I want to thank Mr. Frelinghuysen, Mrs. Lowey, and all the subcommittee chairs and ranking members for the work that they have done to get us to this place. This vote we are about to…
I rise for the purpose of inquiring of the majority leader the schedule for tomorrow, and I yield to the gentleman from California (Mr. McCarthy). Mr. McCARTHY. Mr. Speaker, tomorrow the House will vote on H.R. 1644, our North Korean…
