BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the bill, S. 198, the Data Mapping to Save Moms' Lives Act.

Earlier this year, the House passed H.R. 1218, which was introduced by Representatives Butterfield and Bilirakis. This legislation was the result of bipartisan work through hearings and markups in the Energy and Commerce Committee. I am pleased to see that Republican efforts at changes to improve the legislation are included in the bill before us.

Today's legislation amends the Senate bill to include the House- passed language, which I was pleased to support earlier this year. The Data Mapping to Save Moms' Lives Act follows other bipartisan work the Energy and Commerce Committee has done to address maternal mortality in America.

I am pleased to support this legislation, and I urge my colleagues to do so, as well.
