I just want to stress how important this bill is. We have heard from the speakers on the Republican side, and I certainly agree with everything they have said about the increased ransomware and cyberattacks by foreign actors and bad actors like Beijing and Russia and some of the others that have been mentioned. It is really important that we pass this bill to protect the United States. Mr. Speaker, 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. Pallone) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 4551. The question was taken. The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.
