I would point out again, because some of my Republican colleagues seem not to hear it, that this is the law, as they say, but that several circuit courts say it isn't the law, so all this bill is doing is reaffirming what the law is…

I said that this was covered by the law, but several Federal circuit courts disagree. Therefore, it is not covered in those circuits, and that is why we need this bill. Madam Speaker, I yield 4 minutes to the gentlewoman from New Jersey…

I just want to point out that this bill does not ban arbitration. If two parties have a dispute and prefer arbitration to going to court, they can have arbitration. This bill bans forced arbitration, meaning arbitration that is entered…

I hope that we reckon with and reflect on this history today and come together to ensure this discrimination and stigmatization of Muslim, Arab, and South Asian American communities come to an end.

We should keep continue to move forward.

This is a true honor and a testimony in our country that we've come a long way, and that a person of color like myself have access to speak.

Domestic terrorists want to focus--force us into that frame, a narrative of us and them.

In closing, I thank Mr. Buck for offering this helpful amendment. I thank Ms. Speier, and I thank all the people who have been so helpful on this bill. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

I thank my colleagues, Representatives Bustos, Griffith, Jayapal, and Buck, for their leadership on this issue. I urge my colleagues to support this bipartisan legislation, and I reserve the balance of my time.

We believe that out of many backgrounds and experiences there should be but one national anthem.

Designating 'Lift Every Voice and Sing' as our national hymn will be one such substantive step forward.
