Brett Guthrie Republican
“Vote yes on this bill. Diseases spread by ticks have grown a lot in the last few years, and this is an important issue.”
“Mr. Speaker, Mr. Smith of New Jersey has worked tirelessly on this. It is important. Vector-borne tick diseases and these others have just spread in the last few years. Mr. Speaker, I encourage a ``yes’’ vote on this bill, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Van Epps). The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Guthrie) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, S. 2398. The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the bill was passed. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.”
