It is imperative to the millions of Americans who rely on these projects that we ensure they are operating well into the future.

I thank Mrs. Wagner and my friend Mr. Green from Texas for their work on this legislation. We don't do perfect in the House of Representatives. We do the best that we can in the House of Representatives. We have worked on both sides of the…

Therefore, it is imperative to the millions of Americans who rely on these projects that we ensure they are operating well into the future and serving the purposes for which they were developed.

I want to thank all of today's witnesses and especially Ms. Ufner in particular.

I do not remember who used the phrase, but it is one that I have often used that we need to design with nature instead of against nature.

I want to strongly emphasize that a conversation about resiliency and planning for the future means nothing if the Corps is not completing projects currently on the books.

The simple fact of the matter is that a project can't be resilient, unless and until it's built.

Republicans support the amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Oklahoma (Ms. Kendra S. Horn). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment No. 20…

Again, I don't oppose this amendment. I urge its adoption. But I, again, remind this House that we had a better policy in the bipartisan Waters-McHenry bill that would do more for small business and that Republicans support a…

Once again, we are on the floor talking about the importance of the export agency to small business. It is important to small business, which is why, in the Waters-McHenry bipartisan compromise, we had a strong, well-argued, well-focused…

First, let me say, as we talked about this morning, the Republicans supported unanimously the Waters- McHenry bipartisan deal to reauthorize the Bank with a long, constructive reauthorization. Let me also thank the gentlewoman from…

I thank my friend from North Carolina for yielding. I congratulate the ranking member and the chairwoman for trying to work together to produce a bipartisan bill that we can all support and demonstrate our keen interest in a long- term…

We look forward to having a robust bunch of programs. It is so important to educate people on what is recyclable because not everyone knows. Different things are recyclable from one area to another area. So we need education on that, and…

I thank Senator Carper and his staff and my staff for the tremendous job that they have done in recent years in really trying to educate, through the caucus, the rest of the staff and Members as to the importance of recycling. As a result…

With that, I suggest the absence of a quorum. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll. The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.

I think you make a great point in the sense that we do things for the right reasons. That is so important. Also, it is important, too, that not only can we do it for the right reasons and benefit our environment, but it also can be…

reserving the right to object, while we very much appreciate what Senator Duckworth is trying to accomplish, I must object to the request for unanimous consent. The bill has only one cosponsor and has not gone through regular order, the…

I think we have got to get back to that place where there is bipartisan support for doing these things, and that is really the key.
