I oppose the gentleman's amendment. We have debated this issue for years now, and every year we successfully maintain the prohibition on transferring dangerous detainees out of GTMO. It is important to remember that most of the 41…

If I may make sure that we are all clear about where we are on the START; the START runs through 2021. That is 4 years from now. What the bill says is that if we find that Russia is in violation of the INF Treaty--and there is some…

I thank the gentleman, Mr. Blumenauer, for his amendment, although I urge its defeat. I start off with pointing out that both the Obama administration and the Trump administration have decided the fact that Russia is in violation of the…

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 431 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 431 Resolved, That at any time after adoption of this resolution the Speaker…

House Resolution 431 provides for full consideration, including making six amendments in order to H.R. 23, the Gaining Responsibility on Water Act, and allows us to begin consideration of H.R. 2810, the National Defense Authorization Act…

I would say that the Navy provides 30-year cost estimates because Congress made them, and the Navy doesn't want to do it, and they don't think they are reliable. I urge a ``no'' vote on this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my…

I would like to thank Chairman Thornberry and Ranking Member Smith for their leadership in bringing this years's NDAA. I would also like to thank my friend and colleague from Tennessee, Mr. Jim Cooper, the ranking member on our…

I appreciate the gentlewoman's comments and concerns about protecting all of our privacy on the internet. I think we all should be about that. But instead of having a misguided and unauthorized regulatory action that left vast gaps in this…

I thank the gentleman for yielding and for offering this important amendment. This is a simple and straightforward amendment that would help us set priorities in spending taxpayer dollars in a small but meaningful way. The U.S. signed the…

I do not believe that expansions die of old age.

I urge a ``yes'' vote, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Rogers). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes…

I strongly agree with my colleague from Vermont's remarks regarding the Budget Control Act. It was passed for a good intention, but it has worked out quite differently from what people thought it was going to accomplish. It is time for us…

No! I have been called a surrogate at a time or two and I did not have communications with the Russians.

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Moran). Without objection, it is so ordered. Under the previous order, all postcloture time is expired. The question is, Will the Senate…

This budget request attempts to navigate a challenging fiscal environment, but would disrupt ongoing missions and delay future exploration for years to come.

For human exploration, the current administration picks up where the previous administration left off, by projecting a lofty vision for space while providing a budget that keeps the vision from leaving Earth.

The 2017 omnibus appropriations bill provided no less than $75 million for habitation research activities to support human exploration beyond low Earth orbit.

I believe in the aerospace business, uncertainty equals more cost, at least we have found this on this subcommittee.
