For the purpose of closing. Mr. Speaker, this legislation is vital to helping the United States protect human rights and the rule of law around the world. By allowing the State Department to compensate individuals for bringing forward evidence of sanctions evasion and criminal misconduct by bad actors, America will be better equipped to punish those who flout the rule of law. I thank my colleagues, Representatives Wilson and Deutch for putting forward this key legislation, and I urge my colleagues to support it. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentlewoman from Pennsylvania (Ms. Houlahan) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 1036. The question was taken. The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.
