Mr. SMITH of Nebraska. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 6968.

I think it has been well-laid out here that we could have done this some weeks ago on March 9 when the bill originally passed. It is regrettable that Speaker Pelosi chose to try to add some controversial provisions that actually slowed it down.

It is high time that we come together in an action like this.

Mr. Speaker, I am glad to say that as the lead Republican on the Ways and Means Trade Subcommittee, I support this, and I urge my colleagues to do the same.
