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 Texas will be postponed. Amendment No. 15 Offered by Ms. Shea-Porter The Acting CHAIR. It is…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Amendment No. 14 offered by Mr. Cuellar: Page 7, line 15, strike ``and''. Page 7, line 20, strike the…

First of all, Mr. Chairman, I want to rise in support of this particular amendment of the Cybersecurity Enhancement Act. I certainly want to thank Mr. Lipinski for all the leadership that he has provided on this bill and the staff that…

I just want to echo Mr. McCaul's words on this, that we need to make sure that we support our business, both public and private. I think this amendment will accomplish that, especially working with our education. Again, to the chairman…

Here on the floor of the House of the United States House of Representatives, tribute must be paid to the incredible achievement of a constituent of the First District of Texas, from Longview--he's already a legend--Ben Spies. Ben won the…

If the gentleman would yield one more time. Not only has there been this explosion of debt and deficit, there is nothing to show for it but the deficit and debt. Where are the jobs? We're told that if we have this massive stimulus program…

I thank the gentleman for yielding one more time. Again, the President, that budget that the President has submitted to the American people is simply breathtaking; breathtaking in its spending, breathtaking in its deficits, breathtaking in…

Correct. And so, again, I'm not proud of the fact that there were deficits under Republican control, but look at the 3 years once the Democrats came into control. Look at what happened in 2007. Look at what happened in 2008. Look at what…

Again, I thank the gentleman for yielding. Now, this covers the last several years of when Republicans controlled the budget. It's in the blue, and you can see declining budget deficits until the Democrats took control of Congress.

Well, if the gentleman would yield, I think the most important point here--and we shouldn't spend, obviously, a lot of time on the blame game. The American people want solutions. But what we typically hear from our friends on the other…

Well, I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I certainly appreciate his leadership tonight on an issue that is of great concern to every American. Every American who has children, every American who has grandchildren and are wondering…

Well, I thank the gentleman for yielding, and it's an important point to make. Simply because, as opposed to leading, too often, frankly, we see the President, we see the Speaker, we see our colleagues on the other side of the aisle…

A very prominent, prestigious dignitary is visiting the United States from Canada this week--the Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, Danny Williams is here. But there was no pomp and circumstance for Premier Williams. No red carpets, no…

They called it the ``war to end all wars''; 4.7 million Americans went over there to Europe in the great World War I, and 116,000 of them never came home. When they arrived back in the United States in 1918, thousands of them died from the…

I want to make it very clear. This isn't just us saying it. Listen to this. The Wall Street Journal yesterday, ``All of this spending must be financed, so deficits and taxes are both scheduled to rise to record levels.'' CNBC, ``The…

I thank the distinguished gentleman, and I thank him for his leadership on homeland security as well and as ranking member positioned on the Cybersecurity Committee. And I thank the chairwoman of the Cybersecurity Committee, and I thank…

Let me thank, first of all, the chairman of the Africa Subcommittee and Global Health Committee of the Foreign Affairs, Mr. Payne. There is no doubt of his recounting of the enormous history that has been involved around Haiti, but also…

Each Nation is sovereign, but across the airwaves of American television today we saw flashed three Americans who have been held by the leadership in Iran, three innocent Americans who crossed, by mistake, on a hike into the sovereign area…
