I would be glad to yield to my friend. Mr. McCARTHY. The only thing I want to clarify here is: Do you believe in debate and having the opportunity for people to air different sides?

Reclaiming my time, Mr. Speaker, that language was clearly designed, as the gentleman knows, as the staff knows, and as has been publicized, to preclude one of the agencies that delivers health care in Puerto Rico from doing so, and that…

Reclaiming my time, Mr. Speaker, is the gentleman aware that the major deliverer of health services to women in Puerto Rico is through Planned Parenthood? Is the gentleman aware of that? I yield to the gentleman. Mr. McCARTHY. Did the…

I will be glad to yield to my friend. I have a comment, but I will yield to him first. Mr. McCARTHY. Mr. Speaker, to the gentleman across the aisle, it is true, we work closely together on the big issues, and we try to find common ground…

I did vote against that. Mr. McCARTHY. If the gentleman would please explain to me what---- The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair would remind Members to direct their remarks to the Chair.

I understand the majority wants to vote for what they want us to vote for. They don't want to reach a bipartisan---- Mr. McCARTHY. You voted against that. Explain.

I could get very animated in my answer. The fact of the matter is, what the majority leader represents, in my view, is inaccurate. The Senate sent us a bipartisan bill, and because you think you needed to serve some of your most hard-line…

Well, I presume that. I presume that the majority--and I will say this, that for whatever reasons--and your party is in control of both the House and the Senate. Yes, we have the Presidency, the Democrats, but no bills have reached his…

Mr. Speaker, reclaiming my time, as the gentleman and I both know, no appropriations bills have been enacted. As I pointed out, forgetting about who is to blame--and I am sure you and I have different perspectives on that--the fact of the…

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for that schedule. I won't discuss any of the bills that the gentleman mentioned on the schedule, but I do want to note a couple of absences. One is, of course, the continuing resolution. As the gentleman…

Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from California (Mr. McCarthy) for the purpose of giving us the schedule for the next week. (Mr. McCARTHY asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. McCARTHY. Mr. Speaker, I…

Mr. Speaker, have you ever heard of a travel ban on an American city? Now, we have one in the beautiful boutique district called Wynwood, in the heart of my district. It is time to lift that ban. District 24, Miami, Florida; and the entire…

Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Progreso Latino, the State of Rhode Island's leading Latino human services organization that is celebrating its 39th anniversary this weekend. For nearly four decades, Progreso Latino has empowered…

Mr. Speaker, I have an amendment at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 6, strike line 14 and all that follows through page 7, line 5. Page 7, strike line…

Mr. Speaker, how much time do I have remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Illinois has 2\1/2\ minutes remaining.

Mr. Speaker, I thank my friend from Virginia (Mr. Hurt) for working with me on this bill. Mr. Speaker, the amendment that I am proposing addresses two of the concerns that have been most prominently expressed by Democrats and advocates…

Mr. Speaker, I yield 2\1/2\ minutes to the gentlewoman from Arizona (Ms. Sinema).

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding. I cosponsored this bill because private equity makes considerable investment in Illinois and, specifically, in my district. Nationwide, many businesses are backed by private equity and are a…
