Madam Speaker, the gentleman is correct in the sense that it is a reauthorization. It strikes the language of 2002 while leaving the language of ``such sums as may be necessary'' for the fiscal year going forward now, but we still have…
I would be remiss on a resolution recognizing PAs not to recognize my brother-in-law's brother, Val, Val Valgora. He passed away several years ago. He was a PA back in the seventies. I had never heard of a physician assistant before. Val…
That's correct. And you -- or -- or we could bypass this process and some -- if somebody wants to introduce the DREAM Act on their own, and have a debate about it, and let the legislative body work its process separate from this, fine. But…
But if we had time to do that, and we did not have time to answer the questions that are in the minds and the hearts of these American families, who have opened their homes to these Haitian orphans, to me, that's just bad process.
It's just inexplicable -- inexplicable. And if it is the result of partisan politics -- politics, these children are being used as partisan pawns for more controversial immigration measures, we suspect, and that's simply wrong.

A National Infrastructure Bank will build on our Nation's legacy of bold, innovative investments in public infrastructure.
Tomorrow we celebrate the 223rd anniversary of the signing of the United States Constitution. As we do so, I think it is important to consider the humbling legacy bestowed by those who founded this country and the lawmakers who actually…
He was called ``a young man of integrity and respect,'' ``a great marine who loved the Marine Corps,'' ``a loving husband and father.'' This is how the late Staff Sergeant Michael A. Bock was remembered by those who knew him. Staff…
I sincerely appreciate today's consideration of H.R. 3519, the Veterinarian Services Investment Act. The need for skilled veterinarians has already been stated. It may not be at the forefront of debate here in Washington, but it is an…
Our Nation's unemployment continues to hover near 10 percent, and 15 million Americans are looking for jobs. That's 7 million more than when the current majority took over. We've seen the results of these failed economic and fiscal…
I want to point out, in conclusion, that these are based on the merits of the project--the need for the hospital, the veterans cemetery, and the need for the headquarters. These aren't earmarks; these are things that are determined by…
I must rise in opposition to this closed, or partially closed, rule. Thirty-four amendments is not overwhelming. Back just a couple years ago, heck, we would have double or triple that many on an open rule. And it really saddens me to hear…
The update of the President's budget estimates released Friday shows Washington still has not gotten the message. Dangerous economic and fiscal policies are not helping our country. They're resulting in deficit, debt, and an economy which…
