For the purpose of closing. Mr. Speaker, most of us can't imagine the pain of going decades without knowing if your relatives are alive or dead. That is the daily struggle for thousands of families torn apart by the Korean war. Mr. Speaker, this measure underscores our support for reuniting these families, bringing solace and closure to this deep wound left by the war. I hope my colleagues will join me in supporting this resolution, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Sires) that the House suspend the rules and agree to the resolution, H. Res. 410, as amended. The question was taken. The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds being in the affirmative, the ayes have it. =========================== NOTE =========================== March 9, 2020, on page H1546, the following appeared: The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that the ayes appeared to have it. The online version has been corrected to read: The question was taken. The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two- thirds being in the affirmative, the ayes have it. ========================= END NOTE =========================
