Mr. Speaker, I was absent during rollcall votes No. 356 through No. 378 due to my spouse's health situation in California. Had I been present, I would have voted ``no'' on the Conaway Amendment, ``yea'' on the Polis Amendment, ``yea'' on…

Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of title XXXV add the following: SEC. __. RECOURSE FOR NON-U.S. SEAMEN. Section…

Mr. Chairman, this important amendment would help safeguard U.S. courts against crowding of court dockets by foreign maritime crewmembers. It simply clarifies where the claim must be brought when the case has no meaningful connection to…

Mr. Chairman, I am the chairman, as I mentioned, of the Subcommittee on Europe, Eurasia, and Emerging Threats. I am a senior member also of the Science, Space, and Technology Committee. I am here, basically, to discuss emerging technology…
