I thank Dr. McDermott. He has been, really, a champion of mental health issues in his career and on this bill as well. I want to point out, the bill he is referring to is our Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act, H.R. 2646. It is…

I thank the gentleman so much for his kindness and his support for this legislation. As has been said, whenever one of these tragic killings occur or when some tragedy occurs, we have our moment of silence, and then we do nothing. We have…

I appreciate your courtesy in permitting me to join you this evening, and I appreciate the conversation that we have had. Dr. McDermott's experience in the 1960s and 1970s really touched me. I started in my political career when I was much…

Mr. Speaker, in the weeks ahead, we will be dealing with the budget resolution and we will be dealing with defense authorization and appropriations. Already we have seen the administration unveil a budget that is not only unrealistic, but…
