“I have no further speakers if the gentleman from Texas is ready to close. Mr. McCAUL. Mr. Speaker, I am prepared to close, and I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, sadly, we no longer see American flags waving over thousands of peaceful protesters in the streets of Hong Kong. Displaying our symbol of liberty has become a criminal act punishable by life in prison. But even though the freedom-loving people of Hong Kong can no longer publicly ask for our support, we still hear these pleas. Congress hears them, the American people hear them, and it is now more important than ever that we continue to stand with the people of Hong Kong. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank Chairman Meeks for bringing this resolution which I was proud to join as a lead cosponsor, and I yield back the balance of my time. {time} 1745”
