Grace Meng: “Every American—no matter their race or socioeconomic background—deserves access to affordable, high-quality health care.”

I rise as the designee of the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro), and I move to strike the last word. The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from New York is recognized for 5 minutes.

May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, a time to honor our communities’ immeasurable contributions to our nation’s history, culture, and prosperity.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Indiana will be postponed.

As mentioned before, our participation is in the United States' interest. I oppose this amendment. I yield back the balance of my time.
