Obviously, these are unprecedented times in our nation, as evidenced by the fact that we are conducting this hearing from various parts of our country.

If my colleagues across the aisle were concerned about police reform, I don't think that their colleagues in the Senate would have described Senator Tim Scott's bill as a token bill.

I find it hard to see how anybody could call that a peaceful protest.

We need to hear all voices and find out where the real problems are.

A very thoughtful, bipartisan bill was put out on police reform by Senator Scott and it was essentially laughed at.

I wish that Congress could work on renewing hope in America, on restoring the America that we love.

part of the function of oversight is to make sure that the law is being carried out, that justice is administered, and, if it is not, that we rectify that.

This hearing is about politics and I apologize to you and the rest of the officers in the United States Park Police for having to endure a political attack.

I thank the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Cole), my friend. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to this legislation. Over the last 3 months, we have put together a series of bipartisan bills that are extraordinary, and they amount to $2.9…

Born from the people, the work of Congress is an integral part of our Nation. Or is it? Judging from the legislation that is before us right now, I am not so sure. But tracing back to the Civil War, the Great Depression, World War II…

I rise today to recognize the National Police Week in honor of the men and women who serve and protect our communities. The individuals called to uphold the rule of law do so in times of crisis, and they serve their families, friends, and…

I thank the chairman for yielding. I rise in support of the Paycheck Protection Program Increase Act. In Arkansas, there are more than 13,000 pending PPP loan applications, representing over $1.1 billion, Madam Speaker, of loans in limbo…

Our response, just as this situation, has been unprecedented.

We must ensure our efforts are targeted to help the needy, not prop up the opportunistic.

We have a responsibility to the people we serve, and the moment is now to mitigate the damage to our people and our economy. For those who question the price tag, for those who question certain features in the bill, think of the images we…
