“For the purpose of closing. Mr. Speaker, again, I thank Mr. Conaway for his work on this bipartisan measure that calls on the Russian Government to drop the trumped-up charges against Trevor Reed and immediately release him from prison. Trevor and all those unjustly detained in Russia deserve to be released and safely reunited with their families for this holiday season. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to support this measure and I urge all Members to do the same. Mr. Speaker, let me comment on my friend's remarks. It has been a pleasure for me to work with Mr. McCaul as the ranking member of the committee and when he was the chairman. We have done incredible work on our committee, both Democrats and Republicans, working together in a bipartisan way. I am very proud of the work we have all done and very proud of the work I have done personally with Mr. McCaul. I know we are going to continue to fight the good fight, because we stand for something. We are so blessed to live in this country, and we want to make sure that other people get the same kinds of freedoms that we have. Again, Mr. Speaker, I support this measure, and I urge all Members to do the same. I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from New York (Mr. Engel) that the House suspend the rules and agree to the resolution, H. Res. 1115, as amended.…”
