Mr. Speaker, tonight and beginning each week, we will begin the week talking about the accomplishments of both President Obama, as well as the Democratic leadership in the legislature. The efforts of the Democratic Caucus over the last…

Yes. So, again, it is about choices. The American people have a choice. It is a very stark contrast. They can side with the people who voted 93 percent in this instance with Wall Street and big corporations and continuing to pad their…

Again, Mr. Tonko, we talk about choices. This is as stark a choice, Mr. Heinrich, as we can illustrate. We could go back to policies that got us in the ditch in the first place and give the keys back to the people who drove us into the…

I think it was none. Goose eggs. And that was the Recovery Act that gave 98 percent of Americans a tax cut, the same one that created a situation where we have the lowest, as you said, the lowest tax bills, the lowest tax rate since 1950…

If the gentleman would yield, because I want to focus on results. We have been talking about the facts tonight. We have been talking about the impact and results of Democratic policies, the policies of the Democratic Congress, the policies…

I thank both gentlemen. Again, I think it's really important to stress the choices that we have in front of us. The American people have choices over the next few months about the direction that they want to go, whether they want to…

Does the gentleman recall how many of our friends on the other side of the aisle voted for the Recovery Act?

Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the distinguished chairwoman of the subcommittee for moving this important bill forward. I would like to share with you and my esteemed colleagues the importance of the Upper Colorado River and San Juan River…

I just wanted to thank the gentleman for joining us yesterday in Colorado for a specific water hearing that the gentlelady held in Greeley, Colorado, a prime example of how we can all work together to make sure that agriculture can…

I thank the chairwoman. I want to remind the ranking member that the individual who actually ran against me who was the Department of Natural Resources director, Greg Walcher, for Colorado was one of the ones who helped to implement this…

Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize two outstanding constituents from my district in South Florida: Claudia McLean and her 9-year-old son Joshua Williams who founded Joshua's Heart Foundation 4 years ago. Next month, Joshua and Claudia…

Mr. President, I say to my colleagues on the Senate floor, my worst nightmare is becoming reality. Tar balls have been discovered, as reported by CNN, in Key West. Even if they are not the tar balls from this spill, since the spill is…

I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The bill clerk continued with the call of the roll. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Oregon.

I thank the Senator for yielding. Isn't it interesting how all the different companies are pointing at each other now? And the real question is, Is it going to be the taxpayer who will pay for this or will the responsible parties? Why…

Mr. Speaker, this year Americans worked almost 100 days, from January 1 to April 9, to pay taxes at the Federal, State, and local levels, which is more than one-fourth of their income. I believe that it is totally unacceptable to require…

Put this on your calendar: The Celebrity Apprentice live finale is this Sunday at 9 p.m. on NBC. Who will be the next Celebrity Apprentice?

Mr. Speaker, first of all, I want to thank Mr. Rooney for introducing this resolution. I urge my colleagues to support the resolution. I thank you for remembering today the missing children's law that was passed some 28 years ago. It's…

Might I first inquire as to the remaining time? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Florida has 13\1/2\ minutes.
