I don't have any other speakers on this. I just might comment on this bill. One of the frustrating things about our economic recovery right now, and we continue to hear over and over and over again, that small businesses are uncertain…

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I rise in support of the amendment from the gentlewoman from California. If we're going to enact a program that's designed to target investment in certain industries, then selection of the applicants…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am proud to rise in support of en bloc amendment number 9 and particularly my amendment, which is included, which directs a review of the service records of eligible Jewish American veterans from World War I. I…

On the 16th, the House pages played two games with the Senate pages. The Senate pages lucked up and won a Frisbee match--but with probably some cheating--but the House pages, standing strong, following all the rules, doing the right thing…

I urge Members to support the passage of House Resolution 1316, and I yield back the balance of my time.

To facilitate matters, I will include my remarks in the Record at the conclusion of these proceedings. With that, I yield such time as he may consume to my distinguished colleague from Alaska (Mr. Young). (Mr. YOUNG of Alaska asked and was…

I urge all Members to support the passage of H.R. 2711. I yield back the balance of my time.

When we passed this bill in the House on December 8, 2009, this bill only applied to law enforcement officers as defined in section 5541 and other FBI employees who have sacrificed their lives during the performance of official duties…

One of the top issues on people's minds these days is Washington's never-ending spending binge and the need for responsible budgeting. The American people know that reining in this wild spending spree starts with balancing our budget. But…

I thank the gentleman for yielding and thank he and Congresswoman Fudge for bringing this bill to the floor. I'm honored to be here on the floor with my good friend, Mr. Hoyer. We first brought this concept of healthy athletes to the floor…

I think one of the best things that can happen to a Member of Congress is the privilege to serve on a committee you are passionate about and with a chairman and ranking member who you have deep respect for, and that certainly applies to…

I thank the gentleman. I think at the end of the day everybody understands now what's in this bill. And it's not something that's good for our country, it's not good for our people, it's not good for our business climate. It's impacting…

I think that tells you that there is a lot of concern and that there is a lot of frustration. These are people who are watching what's going on. They don't approve of it, and they want their voices heard. I think this is the key--that…

They would have literally rode me out of town on a rail. The people in my district are conservatives. Whether Republicans or Democrats, they are conservatives, and they don't believe in government takeovers. They don't believe in…

Well, I think it's pretty obvious, gentleman. I think that we're not about preventing health care in this bill. It's about a government takeover of one-sixth of our economy. It's about control; they want to control that portion of the…

And, again, as you talk to the individuals--and each individual industry is a little different, but I know the fast food industry, I was talking to a gentleman who has 25 fast food franchises from Missouri all the way to South Dakota. He…

Thank you, Congressman Akin. It's good to be with you. I've had a number of visitors over the last several days that have been talking about the health care bill. It's amazing, people are now starting to sit down and look at the bill…
