On the recordDecember 31, 2012
In conclusion, and I'm sure on behalf of all my colleagues, I want to thank the women and men in law enforcement for their service, their sacrifice, their willingness to do jobs that either we cannot do or will not do. I want to thank the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Smith) for his leadership over the last 2 years, and I want to thank the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Scott) for his collegiality and friendship. With that, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Gowdy) that the House suspend the rules and concur in the Senate amendment to the bill, H.R. 2076. The question was taken. The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.
