John Cornyn: “I urge my colleagues to allow this bill to advance to the President's desk tonight.”

“… to grieve unless we take a chance to honor the memories of those who lost their lives and their families and to prevent the horrors from hopefully ever happening again. I urge my colleagues to allow this bill to advance to the President's desk tonight. Mr. President, as if in legislative session, and notwithstanding Rule 22, I ask unanimous consent that the Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation be discharged from further consideration of HR 7022 and that the Senate proceed to its immediate consideration.” (02:20–02:26)
