Thank you, Congressman Rothfus, for your powerful words, and thank you for reminding us that this is about the essence of what it means to be human, to stand in solidarity with people far, far away who we may never know, but whose fate and our fate should be intertwined because of our mutual concern not only for one another from the heart, but also for the structures that give rise to essential principles, such as religious liberty. Thank you for your good words. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Virginia (Mrs. Comstock), my good friend. Thank you for your tireless efforts as well on this resolution. Behind the scenes you have worked very aggressively in this regard. While it has been stated clearly that Anna Eshoo and I led this, nonetheless, your work in compelling Members to be involved in this question and raising consciousness has been invaluable. Thank you so much.
