Mr. Chairman, I continue to urge my colleagues to reject this amendment. I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Smith). The question was taken…

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 Missouri will be postponed. Amendment No. 15 Offered by Mrs. Lummis The Acting…

Mr. Chairman, I just want to make a few points about this amendment. As my colleague has said, this would reduce the funds from EPA operations by $14 million and increase the Inspector General by $10 million. I think we would certainly…

Mr. Chairman, I have to strongly oppose this amendment that would take even more money from the already starved EPA. The bill has already severely cut the Environmental Protection Agency's main operating account by $92 million. This would…

Madam Chair, I claim the time in opposition to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Maine is recognized for 5 minutes.

Madam Chair, again, I must oppose this amendment because it continues to take more money from the already-starved EPA. The EPA's main operating account was cut by $92 million in the bill. With the last amendment that just passed, we have…

Madam Chair, we certainly support healthy forests. I represent the State of Maine, where we have a tremendous amount of forests and many people who work in the forest products industry, so we respect the value of this research. But it was…

Mr. Chairman, I thank my friend for yielding the time. I really want to support this important amendment offered by the gentleman from Arizona. It is important because it will strike a section of this bill that will hurt a small group of…

We do not at this time. Ms. McCOLLUM. That answers part of my question, because even if he was to be successful with his amendment in the way the amendments are going--I am kind of predicting that he might be on a voice vote--it would…

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, under the Clean Air Act, Congress directed the EPA to regulate ``any air pollutant from any class or classes of new motor vehicles or new motor vehicle engines, which may be reasonably anticipated to endanger public health or…

Mr. Chairman, once again, as we have seen with the agencies, there is a lot of overreach. Quite often, if you give them an inch, they take a mile. I think it is imperative that we be proactive in this issue to ensure that we protect an…

Mr. Speaker, I would like to inquire if the gentleman has any additional speakers.

Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' to defeat the previous question so that we can keep our country safer. Vote ``no'' on the rule. Vote ``no'' on the underlying bills because they interfere with our efforts to prevent Iran…

The gentleman from Texas is correct. Effectively, rather than actually find resources to develop a vaccine against Zika, they basically said, we are going to be taking the money from Ebola, which, by the way, still exists, still is a…

Mr. Chairman, I am proud to offer this amendment, along with my colleagues, Ms. DeGette, Mr. Cartwright, Mr. Lowenthal, Mr. Sarbanes, Mr. Huffman, and Ms. Lujan Grisham. It is a very simple amendment. It just strikes a policy rider…

I thank the gentleman from Texas. Mr. Speaker, the time to act is now. If we can defeat this particular previous question, we will bring up the bill that prevents terrorists from assembling arsenals of weapons. We also, of course, want to…

Mr. Chairman, 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 Colorado will be postponed. Amendment No. 34 Offered by Mr. Lowenthal The…
