I just want to remind everyone that I am a physician, and I support vaccination. I just don't support the Federal Government mandating it. If local facilities want to mandate vaccination, that is up to them. I just don't believe the…

CMS mandates one vaccine, COVID-19. They don't mandate any other vaccines. That doesn't mean healthcare workers don't get the COVID-19 vaccine. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman from Washington (Mrs. Rodgers), the…

The move was unprecedented. CMS does not impose such a mandate for any other vaccine. Furthermore, the vaccine, while effective at preventing severe disease and death, is not shown to totally prevent transmission of the virus. It was…

May I inquire as to how much time remains on each side? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Indiana has 4\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from New Jersey has 7 minutes remaining.

I support vaccination of healthcare workers. I just don't think that CMS should be mandating it nationally. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Carter), a pharmacist.

I reiterate again that as a physician, I support vaccination for healthcare workers if they choose to do so or if their local medical facility says it is a requirement for them to be employed at that facility. I just don't support the…

As the Representative for the First District of Indiana, I rise today to express my appreciation for the provisions in the fiscal year 2023 omnibus bill that support the Great Lakes. As the largest body of freshwater in the world, the…

Mr. President, I rise today--Joe has gone over this, I think, very clearly; I support him in just sticking with the letter of the law. He said China produces 75 percent of the world's lithium-ion batteries; we, only 7 percent. China…

I am confident you will come away from today's hearing as impressed as I have been.

It is a privilege to be before you. Over the last 6 years, I have come before this Committee several times to introduce fellow Hoosiers who have been nominated to serve on the Federal bench.

I hereby remove my name as cosponsor of H.R. 27. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman's request is accepted. ____________________

I will clarify what exactly this bill is doing. Last year, Congress gave an additional $80 billion to the IRS on top of $12 billion of existing funding, which increased the IRS' budget by almost eight times. This bill still keeps almost…

I am against the rule and the underlying bill. It is a little Christmas tree of unnecessary earmarks, billions and billions of dollars of the American people's taxpayer money. But you know the one thing that is not in there? Full funding…

This constitutional amendment prohibits Federal courts from hearing certain lawsuits against States. A State can waive immunity if it wants to, and States do so now and then. There is a proven process for eliminating or changing the…

I call up my amendment at the desk, which has to do with the Cassidy bill that we are going to hear next. In 1794, Congress passed the 11th amendment, and it was ratified a year later. This constitutional amendment prohibits-- The…

Mr. President, reserving the right to object, before coming to the Senate, I was actually involved in a very, very small business. For nearly 17 years, this business had 1 location and 15 employees. After all that work, over the next 20…
