Might I inquire of the gentleman from Texas if he is prepared to close. Mr. McCAUL. Mr. Speaker, I have no other speakers, and, yes, I am prepared to close. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, I was in the October 2016 classified briefings on the interference by the Russians in our Federal elections and in our Presidential elections. I condemned it at that time, and I continue to condemn it. I supported sanctions then, and I support those sanctions today. For that reason, Mr. Speaker, until we have been fully satisfied by the Treasury Department, I support this resolution, and I yield back the balance of my time.
