Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Budget Conference

Madam President, what the majority leader requested yesterday was not regular order. What would be consistent with regular order would be to send the Senate-passed budget over to the House of Representatives. And what the majority leader…

I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' and defeat the previous question so we can bring up the Paycheck Fairness Act. I urge a ``no'' vote on this restrictive rule and the bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This will be a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 228, noes 199, not voting 5, as follows: [Roll No. 133] AYES--228…

Before further yielding, I want to again address this great and sudden desire that the gentlelady from North Carolina has expressed to make sure that government policies apply to the private sector, to try to say somehow the way that…

If we defeat the previous question, I will offer an amendment to the rule to bring up H.R. 377, Representative DeLauro's Paycheck Fairness Act. To discuss her bill, I yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro). Ms…

I thank the gentlelady for yielding me the customary 30 minutes, and I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Speaker, I rise today in opposition to the rule and the underlying bill, which should be called the More Work, Less Pay…

Before further yielding, I want to address this fallacious concept that the gentlelady from North Carolina has brought up in previous debate as well as this one that somehow the White House discriminates against women. Again, that's been…

I would just like to indicate I have one remaining speaker. With that, I would like to yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. Maloney).

Before further yielding, I yield myself a moment to respond. I thank the gentlelady for the correction. What I was referring to is the vote in the Rules Committee yesterday on an open rule which we voted on in committee. Had we considered…

I am prepared to close. I would like to inquire if the gentlelady has any remaining speakers.

Madam President, I first of all thank my friend, the Senator from Connecticut, for his comments today and for his leadership on this issue which is of such enormous importance. I have been a long-time supporter of the second amendment, but…

Mr. President, I come to the floor again this afternoon to continue my opposition and concerns about the Internet sales tax legislation that has been submitted. I appreciate that we are going to vote on this bill in a few minutes, and I…

I thank the chairman for his work on these important issues. I appreciate it. Today I rise in support of H.R. 291, the Black Hills Cemetery Act. This bill is of great importance to the communities of the Black Hills area of South Dakota…

I wish to clarify my position for the Record on a vote cast on April 26, 2013. The vote was on passage of H.R. 1765, the Reducing Flight Delays Act. On rollcall vote No. 125, I did not vote. It was my intention to vote ``yea.''…

On rollcall No. 125, had I been present, I would have voted ``yea.''

Well, thank you. I appreciate that, and I thank the gentlelady from Missouri for her leadership on this issue. You know, people sacrificed for the rights that we have. The Constitution is so important to me. It's important to the people of…

Madam President, I really came down to the floor today to continue my opposition to the Internet sales tax legislation that is before us. The proponents of this legislation claim it is about ``fairness,'' but when you really think about…
