We have an alarming use in the increase of antidepressants.

I am pleased to have this opportunity to discuss with you the issue of the deteriorating mental health of so many of our combat troops.

The intent of this letter was to get a preliminary assessment of the number of troops being affected by the Department of Defense's (DOD) policies on mental health care in theater.

I'm honored to be before your committee, and I bring to your attention a serious issue concerning the health of our combat troops.

I'd like to know if--how familiar the three Assistant Secretaries are with this issue inside your departments, and what your thoughts are.

Mr. President, I rise today to submit a resolution urging the U.S. Postal Service to issue a semipostal stamp to help raise money for Alzheimer's research. A semipostal stamp will fund new research while also raising public awareness about…

I had one of the most interesting experiences about three weeks ago in Baltimore in my District where we hired 50 police officers who would not have been hired, who would not have been hired, if it were not for the Stimulus.

We want, again, every single American working.

Frankly, no matter how many hearings we hold it will not be enough, because there are 14.9 million unemployed Americans, and the damage done to them, their families, and their communities is unending.

Madam Speaker, I rise in support of the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment, HIRE, Act as an important part of the ongoing jobs agenda Congress will continue to prioritize in the months ahead. Simply put, we will not stop until every…

Madam Speaker, it's past time to boost sustainable job creation by making strong commitments to our Nation's education and infrastructure. The results of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act actually prove the point, but it can't be…

I thank the Republican whip for yielding. Mr. Speaker, on Monday the House is not in session. On Tuesday, the House will meet at 12:30 p.m. for morning-hour debate and 2 p.m. for legislative business, with votes postponed until 6:30 p.m…

We believe that the number one priority for us is to continue to grow the economy so that we will create jobs in this economy. As the gentleman knows, my perception is we have gone from losing an average of 726,000 jobs in the last 3…

Just for accuracy, it's my understanding that the resolution that the gentleman from Ohio has introduced is by December 31, I believe, not 30 days. And I yield back.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Let me repeat, his 180 was incorporated as a way to go forward last year when we adopted the budget almost 1 year ago. So this is nothing new for the gentleman. I told the gentleman his party has used…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. As the gentleman knows, I've expressed support for the policy being pursued by President Obama, and I certainly intend to continue to support that policy. The resolution is not consistent with that. So I…

We hope that the budget resolution will come to the floor--and we're working on that--by the end of the month before we leave for the Easter break. As you can well imagine, given the fiscal situation that confronts us, that's a very…
