Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, as you have heard today, H.R. 7686 is smart policy that will protect taxpayer-funded research from being stolen and misused by our adversaries. We want to give our scientific agencies and universities every tool they need to protect critical research. This bill does that and helps us better implement the CHIPS and Science Act. I thank Representative Garcia for his work on this issue, and I urge all of my colleagues to pass this important piece of legislation. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Thompson of Pennsylvania). The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Lucas) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 7686, as amended. The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the bill, as amended, was passed. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________”
