Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, I again thank Congressman Mills for his leadership in fixing this national security vulnerability. I also thank Chairman McCaul, Ranking Member Meeks, and our Committee on Foreign Affairs colleagues for bringing this critical, bipartisan bill to the floor. This legislation will ensure that our diplomatic buildings overseas do not fall victim to the active, ongoing surveillance and espionage efforts of the Chinese Communist Party. Mr. Speaker, I urge unanimous support for H.R. 6306, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentlewoman from Missouri (Mrs. Wagner) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 6306, as amended. The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the bill, as amended, was passed. The title of the bill was amended so as to read: ``A bill to direct the Secretary of State to avoid or minimize the acquisition or lease of a consular or diplomatic post built or owned by an entity owned or controlled by the Government of the People's Republic of China, and for other purposes.''. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________”
