I encourage my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this very important legislation. I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Garrett) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 4855, as amended. The question was taken.
