On the recordJanuary 30, 2018
Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, as we conclude our remarks and, again, call for a vote on this very important bill, I want to express my respect and appreciation for the help of Ranking Member Visclosky, and certainly for the leadership of Appropriations Chairman Rodney Frelinghuysen. I have been fortunate to follow the chairman, as chair of Defense Appropriations, and I speak for all who serve on his committee, who look to him for leadership and respect him for his service. He is an extraordinary public servant and a model for us all, and we thank him. Mr. Speaker, the time is long past for Congress to fulfill their duty. I urge all Members to support this bill, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. All time for debate has expired. Pursuant to House Resolution 714, the previous question is ordered. The question is on the motion by the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Granger). The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that the ayes appeared to have it.
