“Thank you so much, Representative Kaptur, again for your history of support not only for working families across Ohio. I know we are going to talk more about trade in this body. Thank you for sharing that information. With that, I am going to close the Special Order hour for the Progressive Caucus. It is imperative that this body pass the extension of the emergency unemployment benefits. The House Democrats have filed a discharge petition. We will do everything we can to force a vote off that; but we are hoping that the Senate, now that they have a bipartisan agreement, can get that passed as well. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time on behalf of the Progressive Caucus. ____________________”
