Mr. Speaker, I yield an additional 1 minute to the gentleman from Massachusetts. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, shame on those who derailed this in the negotiations between the House and Senate. It is not enough to issue press releases. We need to take action. Mr. Speaker, mark my words, we will reauthorize and we will strengthen Global Magnitsky in this Congress.
