I have no further speakers, and I am prepared to close. I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I ask all of my colleagues to join me in passing S. 3147. I want to thank Mr. McKinley for introducing this bill in the House and Senator Manchin for working very diligently in the Senate to bring this legislation before us today because, as Mr. McKinley said, we do need to provide assurance to our veterans about their safety in our VA health centers, both in Clarksburg and across the country. I also want to thank Mr. Bilirakis, my colleague on the Veterans' Affairs Committee, for his work on this and all the bills that we have reviewed today. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in passing S. 3147, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentlewoman from Virginia (Mrs. Luria) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, S. 3147. The question was taken. The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.
