“For the purpose of closing. Madam Speaker, I thank Representative Guthrie for his remarks about trying to work together to lower the cost of prescription drugs. I thank Congresswoman Dean because this is a part of that effort. As you will note, today, we had a whole package dealing with mental health, behavioral health, and other drug activities. It is very important that we move this whole package and try to get it passed in the Senate as quickly as possible. Madam Speaker, I urge support for this legislation on a bipartisan basis, 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. Pallone) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 1629. The question was taken. The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.”
