I yield the gentleman an additional 30 seconds. Mr. LaTOURETTE. It's now in the Court of Appeals. We do our darnedest to say we're going to drain the swamp and do all the other stuff around here. But in this lawsuit--they've got a lot of…

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I will say this: I came here to talk about the rule. I didn't come here to talk necessarily about the underlying bill, although I do support the underlying bill. The rule is what is…

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of this rule and the underlying bill. House Resolution 189 provides for a structured rule for the consideration of H.R. 658, the FAA Reauthorization and Reform Act of 2011. The rule provides for ample…

Mr. Speaker, by direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 189 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 189 Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this…

I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McGOVERN. I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Speaker, I've listened with great interest. My friend from California (Mr. Dreier) kind of amended a little bit what the Republican majority…

Mr. Speaker, for the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentleman from Massachusetts, my good friend, Mr. McGovern, pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During consideration of this…

Mr. Chair, on rollcall No. 207, had I been present, I would have voted ``no.'' Amendment No. 7 Offered by Mr. Garrett The Acting CHAIR. The unfinished business is the demand for a recorded vote on the amendment offered by the gentleman…

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge my colleagues to continue to focus on creating jobs and the economic recovery. I am very concerned with the reckless GOP spending proposal that will slash jobs all across the United States of America, and…

I rise in opposition to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Florida is recognized for 5 minutes.

Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Ohio will be postponed. Amendment No. 22 Offered by Mr. Graves of Missouri The…

In closing, the President has threatened to veto this legislation because of the provision that we have. I can see why, because he packed the board. He packed the board. And on a 2-1 vote they overwrote a provision that was put in by FDR…

Mr. Chairman, how much time do I have remaining? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman has 2 minutes.

Madam Chair, can I inquire as to the amount of time remaining on each side? The CHAIR. The gentleman from Florida has 5\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from West Virginia has 4 minutes remaining.

Madam Chair, I would ask unanimous consent to yield 2\1/2\ minutes of my time to the gentleman from Pennsylvania and allow him to control it for the purpose of a colloquy. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the gentleman from…
