  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentlewoman from

[[Page H4268]]

Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro) and the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Granger) 
each will control 20 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Connecticut.


                             General Leave

  Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members 
have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and 
include extraneous material on the Senate amendment to H.R. 3237 
currently under consideration.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentlewoman from Connecticut?
  There was no objection.
  Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume, 
but far too much time has been consumed already.
  Mr. Speaker, 204 days ago, this building, this very Chamber, was 
brutally attacked. A mob of violent insurrectionists invaded our 
Capitol, hellbent on stopping the peaceful transfer of power.
  For the first time in over two centuries, the temple of our democracy 
was defiled and damaged.
  The brave men and women of our Capitol Police protected us. Since 
that fateful day, they have continued to work day in and day out, with 
only the barest minimum of support. They have soldiered on with 
physical, mental, and emotional trauma and have sacrificed their own 
needs and those of their families for the safety and security of our 
democracy. We need to respect their service.
  The legislation the House passed 2 months ago was a very strong bill 
that met the needs of the Capitol Police, who were so brutally 
attacked, and the National Guard, who bravely responded. I am pleased 
that the Senate amendment largely leaves those provisions intact, which 
is why we are bringing it to the floor today.
  However, the Senate bill falls short of what we need in key areas. It 
does not include resources to prosecute the terrorists who attacked our 
government, and it does not have enough funding to secure the Capitol 
for the long term.
  These needs will not disappear. As we pass this bill today, we know 
that we are not finished, and we are committed to filling in the gaps 
the Senate amendment has left.
  Mr. Speaker, this bill is not perfect, but time is running short, and 
the immediate needs are dire.
  In those harrowing moments of January 6, the men and women of the 
Capitol Police protected us. They said yes. Now, we must protect them. 
We must say yes. Vote ``yes.''
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

                          ____________________
