Corruption Of Foreign Public Officials Act  On division. (Motion agreed to, bill read the third time and passed)

Corruption Of Foreign Public Officials Act  Madam Speaker, I have already outlined the concern I had that this was introduced in the Senate.

Corruption Of Foreign Public Officials Act  Is the House ready for the question?
