I thank the gentleman for that answer. Perhaps now he knows why I asked the first two questions. Apparently, it is not the debt that is of concern, because if the debt were of concern, the $17 billion would be of concern. That was put in…

I didn't yield yet. I simply say to my friend, had I instructed or the leader instructed, that outcome may have been different. However, there are some really substantive issues that we had, we had for a long time, we negotiated for a long…

Mr. Speaker, I am chagrined that I have stunned my friend, the majority leader. Yes, we don't agree with some of those pay-fors. I happen to, by the way, agree. There is no reason why a lottery winner of millions of dollars ought to be on…

I yield to my friend from California. Mr. McCARTHY. Right before your question, you said you had concerns with the offsets. The gentleman knows that I reached out to him, I don't know how many months ago, before a break, numerous times…

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for his comments. First, let me say, as far as I know, the leadership didn't give any direction to the committee. The committee decided on its own that it thought that the cuts that were being proposed by…

Despite an estimated $26 billion backlog of repair needs, the Administration proposed cutting the Public Housing Capital Fund by nearly 70 percent

Mr. President, I thank the minority leader, Senator Schumer, for his words of emphasis on the need to ensure that not only do our fellow Americans in Florida and Texas receive the relief they so dearly and sorely need but also that our…

I was proud that we were able to have included in one of the bills that we passed here on the Hill, a demonstration program to look at the co-prescribing of naloxone.

I am going to make a plea to my Republican colleagues.
