Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time for the purpose of closing. Mr. Speaker, this bill would allow USCIRF to continue its important work of advising Congress, engaging with the executive branch, monitoring religious freedom abroad, and raising public awareness. Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleagues, Representative Chris Smith and Senators Marco Rubio, Ben Cardin, and James Lankford, for their hard work on this legislation. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.
