Mr. Speaker, Thanks · 31 words I once again thank Representative Begich for his hard work in representing his constituents and advancing this important legislation, like he has done on so many pieces of legislation this Congress. Thanks The ask · 8 words I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 6021, Procedure · 114 words and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Goldman of Texas). The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Arkansas (Mr. Westerman) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 6021, as amended. The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the bill, 1 as amended, was passed. The title of the bill was amended so as to read: 2 ``A bill to clarify the treatment of authentic Alaska Native articles of handicraft containing nonedible migratory bird parts under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and for other purposes.’’. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. Procedure
