For the purpose of closing. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 1154 is an important, bipartisan measure. We know that organ harvesting has been a problem in China. We also know that PRC officials in Xinjiang have collected biometric data from Uyghur and other ethnic minority detainees. Given the ongoing genocide in Xinjiang, we simply cannot take Beijing at its word about what it is and is not doing. We need to investigate, and we need to verify. H.R. 1154 does just that. It calls on the State Department to provide important information to Congress, to the American public, as well as to the world about the scope of organ harvesting and trafficking around the world so that we may respond appropriately. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this measure, and I yield back the balance of my time.
