We are ready to close. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I just want to say again thank you to my good friend for allowing me to be a part of this. I know how important it is to her and, again, thousands and thousands like her; and, again, to my friend Fonnie Godwin back home, Fonnie has touched so many lives. She is a teacher, she is a wife and a mother, and she is involved in her church and her community. On Christmas Eve, she will be at First Presbyterian Church in Dunn playing the bells in the choir. I always see a smile on Fonnie's face, and today, I want to make that smile even bigger. Again, Mr. Speaker, thank you so much for allowing this to move forward today, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Fleischmann). The question is on the motion offered by the gentlewoman from North Carolina (Mrs. Ellmers) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 5185, as amended. The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the bill, as amended, was passed. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________
