Effective prevention and response to terrorism and naturally occurring threats start with information-sharing. At a time when threats are changing at such a rapid pace, H.R. 397 will help to facilitate information-sharing to better safeguard the homeland from bad actors. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 397, 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. Torres) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 397, as amended. The question was taken. The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.
