Madam President, I am pleased to join my colleagues in speaking about the DISCLOSE Act and why this is so critically important for our democracy. I appreciate the leadership of several of our colleagues in this respect. For the last 2…

I have no additional speakers at this time, so I'll reserve the balance of my time.

How much time do I have remaining, Mr. Speaker? The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Womack). The gentleman from New Jersey has 3\1/4\ minutes remaining.

I yield myself 1 minute, Mr. Speaker. I am amazed by the comments that the previous speaker made on the Republican side. The fact of the matter is that the Affordable Care Act amounts to a tax cut. Right now, in the State of New Jersey…

I will close at this time, and yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, let me say over again--and I know we've had this debate so many times that it really sounds like we just keep repeating the same thing--that this is a very…

Can I inquire about how much time remains on both sides? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from New Jersey has 16\3/4\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from Michigan has 17 minutes remaining.

May I inquire again about the time on both sides that remains? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from New Jersey has 6\3/4\ minutes. The gentleman from Pennsylvania has 8\1/2\ minutes remaining.

I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentlewoman from Colorado (Ms. DeGette). Ms. DeGETTE. Mr. Speaker, we get the message: the Republican majority wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act. We got that message the last 30 times they tried to…

Despite the rhetoric, the majority is yet to propose a replacement that will cover all of the people they want to throw off the health care rolls. And they continue to ignore the number one priority of the American people: creating jobs. A…

Albert Einstein once said the definition of ``insanity''--and you've heard this before, Madam Speaker--is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Well, we've already voted over 30 times to repeal or restrict the…

On July 9, 2012, I missed the following rollcall votes of the day. Had I been present I would have voted 1. Yes rollcall vote No. 452 H.R. 4155--Veteran Skills to Jobs Act 2. Yes rollcall vote No. 453. H.R. 4367--To amend the Electronic…

Mr. President, I rise today to oppose to the flood insurance language that is included in the conference report to accompany H.R. 4348, which the Senate will consider today. The Senate had been debating a stand-alone bill to reform the…

Chairman Johnson, I completely agree. This language should not be interpreted to encourage or require public-private partnership activities in transit or give any preference to grantees based on the decisions they make on this issue. For…

I thank the chairman. I look forward to continue working with you to oversee the implementation of this and other provisions in this bill and continue to do all we can do to support a robust, well-funded public transportation program.

Mr. President, we are poised to pass a truly historic transportation bill and I wanted to engage in a brief colloquy with my colleague Chairman Johnson, with whom I have worked closely over the past year and a half to craft the transit…

Today is a great day for the American people. The Supreme Court's decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act reaffirms our Nation's commitment to make sure that all Americans have access to quality, affordable health care and health…

Madam President, today, June 28, 2012, 30 million American people gave thanks, and it is because the Supreme Court this morning upheld the health care law that will provide those 30 million people with access to affordable health…

I appreciate the Senator clarifying that point. As he knows, infections caused by gram negative anaerobic bacteria such as Bacteroides and Garnerella have a disproportionate impact on women of color and cause an increased risk of HIV…
