I now would like to turn to the gentleman from Minnesota, Representative Emmer. He is from Minnesota's Sixth Congressional District and is a member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs' Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights, and International Organizations; and the Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere.

With that, I yield to the Representative from Minnesota.”
