As the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Cline) said, this is a straightforward bill that rightly requires that the flag be flown effectively every day at certain locations at great significance to our country and to our Armed Forces and veterans. It is an appropriate way to honor all those who served, and particularly, those who have been held prisoners and who remain missing because of their service to our Nation in wartime. Therefore, I urge prompt passage of S. 693. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from New Hampshire (Mr. Pappas) for his work on the bill, and Senator Warren. I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Cohen) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, S. 693. The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the bill was passed. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________
