And I rise in support of H.R. 6441, the Women's Business Centers Improvement Act of 2022. Women's Business Centers, WBCs, support over 150,000 women entrepreneurs each year through training, mentoring, business development, and financing…

May I inquire how much time is remaining on each side? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Missouri has 11 minutes remaining. The gentlewoman from New York has 20 minutes remaining.

May I inquire how much time I have remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman has 3 minutes remaining.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 223, nays…

The programs that you oversee seem to have been very successful the last several years and I thank you for your leadership on that.

In my view, when we do, we see it is in a crisis.

Jim dedicated his life to public service. He was a strong Christian and worked tirelessly on behalf of his constituents.

I urge a favorable passage.

Women's Business Centers (WBCs) support over 150,000 women entrepreneurs each year through training, mentoring, business development, and financing opportunities.
