Mr. Speaker, once again, I want to thank Congressman Brat and Congressman O'Halleran for their work on this important legislation. Mr. Speaker, I urge its passage, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Barton). The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Brat) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 5889. The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the bill was passed. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________
