I thank the distinguished gentlelady from California, and I rise to thank the Rules Committee. This is a tough business. They had to do their work in the backdrop of Senator Bunning, who didn't care about the unemployed, thousands upon…

I thank the gentlelady. I oppose neither the rule nor the transportation funding in this bill, but I do oppose the so-called ``jobs'' tax credit. I only have one big problem with it, that it does so little to create jobs while adding to…

Madam Speaker, it's deja vu all over again on the health care bill. The people have tried every way they know to have their voices heard. Town halls, tea parties, even special elections. The people don't want Washington bureaucrats making…

Mr. Speaker, at first, Al Gore claimed to invent the Internet. Now it looks like he really did invent something--global warming. The Nation had one of the coldest winters in years, including record snowfalls in the South; but the Warmers…

Mr. Speaker, as the war against international terrorism continues in Iraq and Afghanistan, I bring you news from the third front, the U.S.-Mexico border, the real inconvenient truth. Recently, the U.S. consular office in the border town of…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Bennet.) Without objection, it is so ordered. Amendment No. 3337

Mr. President, we have been talking about having a bipartisan effort to rein in spending and some of the things that we can do in that regard. So I am pleased to share a few thoughts today on the legislation that my Democratic colleague…

I move to waive the applicable section of the Budget Act with respect to the amendment and ask for the yeas and nays. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there a sufficient second? There appears to be. The question is on agreeing to the…

I thank both gentlemen. I want to applaud the remarks of my colleague Mr. McCaul, both the remarks that he made here today and the remarks that he made on the afternoon of this tragedy, under what I know was a very stressful situation…

I thank the gentleman from Georgia and the gentleman from Louisiana for their important comments. The recent suicide attack in my hometown of Austin, Texas, on an IRS building was a horrible tragedy. I authored this resolution to honor…

Well, we sure know about that, don't we. Number two on the list of pledges is, Reject any addition to the crushing national debt heaped upon all Americans. And I know there's been--in the summit there are all these wonderful, glowing…

Mr. President, I am introducing legislation today that is intended to chart what I believe to be the proper course for the future of the nation's human space flight programs. This bill would provide an alternative to the Administration's…

Mr. Speaker, I move that the House do now adjourn. The motion was agreed to; accordingly (at 9 o'clock and 10 minutes p.m.), the House adjourned until tomorrow, Thursday, March 4, 2010, at 10 a.m. ____________________

That is absolutely correct. And we just have a few minutes left, let me finish the 10 here. Number six, ``Protect taxpayers from funding of abortion or abortion coverage.'' And one might wonder, well, is the President really on board with…

Well, and it is so important that people understand that. To say that no one will be denied care or coverage is accurate to a point, but the fact is they're told in Canada and England, gee, we're not going to deny you treatment or care, we…

I appreciate that observation from my friend from Missouri. I would like to finish the declarations, the pledges that he and I have both made. Number 3 is improve, rather than diminish, the quality of care that Americans enjoy. Now, we…

And they have still not scored my bill. I would go ahead and point out that it is not just in health care that CBO has scored 50 Democratic bills and six Republican bills, which does not include mine, despite the efforts and the requests…

I sure would have tuned in to watch that. But of course if it had been on C-SPAN, the content of the conversation may have been a whole lot different. But we do know what has occurred in this Congress since last year. Now, it bugs me to no…
