Madam Speaker, House Resolution 822 provides for a closed rule providing for consideration of S. 304, the Conscience Protection Act, and a motion to concur with the Senate amendment to the House amendment to S. 764, GMO labeling…

Madam Speaker, predictably, our colleagues are misrepresenting the contents of this bill. This bill does not affect any abortion provider who currently performs the procedure and who wishes to continue. If the Conscience Protection Act…

Madam Speaker, the charge that this would allow a woman's boss to prevent her from obtaining an abortion is a true outrage. It is a disgusting red herring. This bill would allow employers to continue to have the freedom to decline to pay…

Madam Speaker, it is not true. Conservatives don't ask for bosses to purchase weapons that are protected under the Second Amendment. Why must my Progressive colleagues ask private citizens to pay for the death of a child? I yield 3 minutes…

Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, how much time do I have remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Massachusetts has 2 minutes remaining. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the…

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I would like to remind my colleague--perhaps he has forgotten--that the House dealt with the Zika crisis and the Zika virus. We sent a bill over to the Senate, and it was the Democrat…

I find it interesting that some at the FDIC apparently thought your confirmation as Chairman was more important than taking immediate action to protect almost 31,000 banks and 160,000 individuals.

I can tell you, and I don't know if you picked up on it, but I am extremely frustrated by how our country has handled this.

Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the…

Mr. Chairman, my amendment would not hinder the EPA's ability to enforce the laws on the books. This amendment only limits their ability to employ armed personnel. The EPA will still be able to investigate and prosecute environmental…

Mr. Chairman, first, I want to commend my colleague, the gentleman from California (Mr. Calvert), for his and his colleagues on Appropriations' work on this bill. Mr. Chairman, the Environmental Protection Agency spends as much as $50…

I thank the gentleman for expressing his concerns and for his willingness to work with us on this. Mr. Chairman, I would just like to point out that weapons have proliferated among the Federal agencies. As I said, there are 67 agencies. We…

If the State Department's highest priority is the protection of U.S. citizens, why shouldn't we block remittances to these countries?

I mean, doesn't it make sense to at least deduct the cost?

Mr. Chair, I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Alabama will be postponed. Amendment No. 77 Offered by Mrs. Lummis The Acting…

Does that give you any concern?

Another thing that is a major concern to me is that Cuban visas are showing up in the Middle East.

Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 26th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Twenty-six years ago this month, this landmark legislation was put into effect to eliminate discrimination against…
