In closing, I want to thank the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Al Green) and the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Cleaver) for their hard work on this, for coming to see me and others on our side of the aisle about this important issue, and for working with us on getting the language straight in this resolution in order to make sure that we are properly encouraging this exploration while also taking into account the issues that arise with the use of body cameras. I want to thank the ranking member and the former chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Mr. Conyers, and the ranking member of the subcommittee, Ms. Jackson Lee, for their work on this as well. I also want to thank all of the staff involved. This is an important issue, and it will help to inform us as we move ahead on a number of issues related to criminal justice reform. I urge my colleagues to support the resolution. I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Goodlatte) that the House suspend the rules and agree to the resolution, H. Res. 295. The question was taken. The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.
