By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 1192 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 1192 Resolved, That upon the adoption of this resolution it shall be in…
I yield myself such time as I may consume. House Resolution 1192 provides a structured rule for consideration of H.R. 3644, the Ocean, Coastal and Watershed Education Act, with 1 hour of debate in the House equally divided and controlled…
There will be, and I certainly look forward to joining my colleague from Florida, a debate this weekend on the health care bill. I am glad to see, on issues of our national parks and oceans, we are able to come together. And there are…
Again, I would like to emphasize that the gentleman from California's criticisms are not about this rule or any rule that we have before us. Tomorrow the Rules Committee will be meeting to decide under what rule we will consider health…
I ask unanimous consent that all Members be given 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks on House Resolution 1192. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from Colorado? There was…
On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, this 15- minute vote on adopting House Resolution 1192 will be followed by 5- minute votes on two motions that…
I have here a letter which I will quote, in part, and then submit from a number of environmental groups under the auspices of the Campaign for Environmental Literacy, a group that I have also had the opportunity to work with on education…
This is a remarkable moment in the life of our Nation. After years of runaway Federal spending, deficits, debt, borrowing, bailouts, and takeover, against the opposition of a clear majority of the American people, the Democrats in Congress…
Mr. President, first of all, I want to agree with my colleagues, the ranking member, the Senator from Texas, the Senator from North Dakota, and the Senator from Arizona, on the very good work that has been done on this FAA reauthorization…
I will vote against the Previous Question Motion today because I think the American people deserve a clear, up- or-down vote on health reform. They deserve to know how their elected representative voted, without any parliamentary confusion…
Mr. President, we are in full mode on health care reform. I am going to stick to that subject this afternoon. I have heard my colleagues say a couple of things I am going to emphasize, but I am going to have a different take on some of…
I ask for the yeas and nays. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second? There appears to be a sufficient second. The question is on agreeing to amendment No. 3475. The clerk will call the roll. The legislative clerk called the…
As we head to our health care reform decision, I think a story of a fellow I met the other day, a very unique American, bears repeating. His name is Gary Hall. He was in my office yesterday. Gary Hall won five gold medals, three silver…
Mr. President, I am so pleased to join Chairman Landrieu and my colleague, Senator Ben Cardin. Hopefully, he will be able to speak after me to talk about the importance of small businesses and what we have to do to support small business…
Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources be authorized to meet during the session of the Senate on March 17, at 9:30 a.m., in room SD-366 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building. The PRESIDING…
Mr. President, I think the distinguished chairman of the Judiciary Committee wishes to speak, but he is waiting for something, so I will proceed. This Federal aviation bill is enormous in scope, but we are doing it in little pieces and…
Mr. President, I want people to understand that the Federal aviation reauthorization process is moving slowly but steadily. We take several steps forward but none backward. Yesterday we approved 14 amendments. There was a tremendous amount…
Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Subcommittee on Administrative Oversight and the Courts, be authorized to meet during the session of the Senate, on March 17, 2010, at 10 a.m. in room SD-226 of the Dirksen Senate Office…
