“I want to compliment Ms. Watson and Mr. Issa for bringing this most important resolution to the floor in a very fine, but too often rare, bipartisan effort. I urge all Members to vote for it. In the last 25 years, our relationship with Russia has warmed up considerably and we are enjoying good relations with the Russian Federation. However, to extend this into full trade, we need to be able to respect each other's intellectual property rights. Therefore, I ask for a ``yes'' vote on this resolution, and I hope the Russian Federation is listening to the United States Congress. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Culberson). The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Shaw) that the House suspend the rules and agree to the concurrent resolution, H. Con. Res. 230. The question was taken. The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds of those present have voted in the affirmative.”
