I thank Congressman Jeffries. Madam Speaker, as we close out tonight, I can't think of a better way to take my last 30 seconds than to speak to you and to speak to America and to ask that we take these last seconds in silence as a call to action to prevent the guns being on the street, as a call to action to reduce the health disparities. But in honor of the families in Orlando, we give them our commitment that we stand with them and that I stand with all of my friends and constituents and supporters who belong to the LGBT community. I yield back the balance of my time.
