I want to thank Ms. Sinema from the State of Arizona for her holding the last Special Order, bipartisan, to talk about this terrible plight that has happened to our veterans. Twenty-two veterans a day, Americans, commit suicide. So I thank the gentlewoman for bringing that to the attention of the House and to the American public. That's an issue that we will continue to work on in a bipartisan way to help our veterans. I would like to, Mr. Speaker, at this time, yield to the gentlewoman from the great State of Florida (Ms. Ros-Lehtinen).
