On the recordJune 22, 2022
I thank the chairman for answering my questions regarding the Restoring Hope Act that there will be provisions for mental health care and services for children, families, and communities who experience these traumatic and violent events. I look forward working with the chairman on these vital resources. With your partnership I would like to continue to work with you and the administration to ensure that when this legislation is enacted, the needs of the vulnerable victims and those closest to them are in the front of our minds. Will the gentleman commit to working with me on this matter? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has again expired.
