A study in the New England Journal of Medicine found that the median age for men with SCD is only 42 years old. For women, it is 48 years.

That black children, African American children, have higher rates of disease.

the current process seems so arbitrary and just all over the map where and how redactions take place.

Mr. Speaker, I want to thank Chairman Royce and Ranking Member Engel for their support and their enthusiasm for this bill. Mr. Speaker, I rise in full support of H.R. 4481, the Education for All Act, which I introduced earlier this year…

First introduced in 2004, the bill we consider today represents many years of hard work to elevate the importance of global education, bipartisan compromise, and the support of over 30 nonprofit and advocacy organizations, including…

H.R. 3119, the Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act, sponsored by Rep. Engel (NY) increases the number of permanent faculty in palliative care.

H.R. 1807, the Sickle Cell Disease Research, Surveillance, Prevention, and Treatment Act of 2015, sponsored by Rep. Danny Davis (IL) and Rep. Michael Burgess (TX) reauthorizes a sickle cell disease demonstration program.

H.R. 1717, the Sober Truth on Preventing Underage Drinking Reauthorization Act or the STOP Act, sponsored by Rep. Roybal-Allard (CA) provides for programs and activities to prevent underage drinking.

I thank my colleague, Rep. Pete Olson, for sponsoring this important legislation which will be welcome news for the over 100,000,000 people afflicted with diabetes or pre-diabetes.

This hearing is not about an effort to improve FOIA or Federal record-keeping. This is an attack, an attack on Hillary Clinton's candidacy for President of the United States of America and just the latest in a series of attacks.

These actions had their desired effect. They kept repeating the headline that Hillary Clinton is under investigation.

The Republicans started with their discredited Benghazi investigation, accusing Secretary Clinton of all kinds of unsubstantiated conspiracies.

I think if we don't do anything else, we can try to help with the system of classification because it is so serious and can create all kinds of problems.

This frantic pre-election fervor is an egregious abuse of taxpayer dollars for political purposes.

Well, I think the American people are deeply troubled at a foreign policy, a military policy of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton that has caused the wider Middle East to literally spin out of control.

Anything that drives down the price of oil is not just good for motorists in my district, it is good for American foreign policy.

Coal produces twice the greenhouse gases per kilowatt as any other fuel.

China emits twice as much greenhouse gases as the United States.
