I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise as a strong and proud original cosponsor of H.R. 5138, the International Megan's Law of 2010. The innocence of childhood is a sacred trust that deserves to be protected always…

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this resolution, House Resolution 1538, which condemns the deadly suicide attacks that took place in Kampala, Uganda on July 11, 2010. In the past…

I thank all the speakers who spoke on this important resolution. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I rise as a proud cosponsor of this important resolution, which calls upon the International Civil Aviation Organization, ICAO, to accord observer status to Taiwan. Can there be any…

I am very honored, Mr. Speaker, to yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Lincoln Diaz-Balart), my colleague, the ranking member on the Rules Subcommittee on Legislative and Budget Process and cochair of the Taiwan Caucus.

I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Burton), the ranking member on the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Middle East and South Asia. (Mr. BURTON of Indiana asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.)

Mr. Speaker, at this time I am so pleased to yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Georgia, Dr. Gingrey, an esteemed member of the Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Mr. Ryan, a couple of years ago, when we would be out here each night with the 30-something Working Group, our symbol was the Republican rubber stamp that was emblematic of the philosophy of our friends on the other side of the aisle. I…

Thank you. And I look forward, as we go into the August recess, talking with our constituents about how we've begun to turn this economy around. I want to close out the last couple of seconds with the focus on tax cuts, remind people that…

Mr. Tonko, I want to bring us back to the choice, to the choice of going in the direction that we have been taking the country, which is a new direction to reinvest in America, to make sure that we can create jobs here and not give tax…

One of the things that is important to note, Mr. Ryan, is that, when we became the majority once again in 2006 and over the last several years, we reestablished statutory PAYGO. First, we established it in rule. Then we passed it in…

I know it's painful, but I think it's instructive. As you walk with me down memory lane, let's look at under which Presidents we operated on a deficit and under which Presidents we operated at a surplus. President Reagan, $1.4 trillion…

Madam Speaker, Democrats are committed to growing our economy and getting Americans back to work. We want to continue to support America's manufacturing workers by closing tax loopholes that outsource U.S. jobs overseas. These savings will…

Let's take it one step further. It's not just bad enough, okay, to say they voted to protect the tax break. On top of that, 95 percent of House Republicans have signed a pledge to protect those tax breaks, signed a pledge, put their name…

Over 95 percent of Republicans voted against it. So we could continue to move in the direction in which we have been going--job creation, spurring the economy, investing in America--or we could backslide toward the Bush era and go back to…

Absolutely. Thank you very much, Mr. Tonko. Just to veer a little bit in a different direction towards, again, the choice that Americans are going to be facing, because your facts are stubborn things. You can run away from a lot of…

I do, that's because I bleed orange and blue, and Mr. Ryan knows that, and I appreciate the recognition. And we're also joined by our good friend who has been a weekly staple of these important message hours where we're trying to…

And your point is very well taken. We had to use a procedural motion just to be able to get around there being an obstacle to the America COMPETES Act coming to the floor and being able to get a straight-up vote. And when it came right…
