Those Texas-size mosquitos that are beginning to spread around my part of the country, they can't tell a Republican from a Democrat. Young women desirous of having a family, people of all ages and genders, are threatened by Zika. It is just a matter of time before the Continental United States faces some of the problems that Puerto Rico already faces, and what we need is to come together and have a bipartisan solution, not something offered in the middle of the night on which all debate is denied, a totally partisan approach. So just as I am pleased that we have strong bipartisan support for the Iran Nuclear Agreement, coming together with this major letter that was sent to us yesterday, that is the kind of bipartisan approach I hope we can work to eventually, perhaps when we come back after this long Republican recess, one of the longest in the history of the Congress, to address Zika, and address these other problems that they refuse to deal with today. I thank the gentleman.
