On the recordJuly 23, 2019
Mr. Speaker, I have no other speakers, and I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, I again want to thank Ms. Bass and Mr. Smith for their hard work. Again, as I mentioned before, Mr. Smith is always working very, very hard to be on the side of justice. For too long, the people in Cameroon's anglophone region have been marginalized by the Cameroonian Government, and since 2017, conflict between the government and separatists have brought chaos and fear to those living in the region. This resolution supports a negotiated settlement to the conflict that respects the basic human rights of its citizens, so Cameroon can become a country that is more peaceful and stable. Mr. Speaker, I urge all Members to join me in supporting this bipartisan piece of legislation, 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 York (Mr. Engel) that the House suspend the rules and agree to the resolution, H. Res. 358. The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the resolution was agreed to. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________
