Mr. Chairman, everyone here appreciates concerns about the ways of discrimination. The question is how to collect the data in an efficient way, and the new EEOC-1 form is certainly not the way to collect that data. What do I mean by that…

Mr. President, today I would like to discuss the importance of ensuring that federally funded infrastructure projects are built to withstand flood damage. As we work to provide Federal support to the people of Texas, Florida, and the Gulf…

I support a public option. I think a public option would be helpful.

I mean, is a health condition relevant to whether you get a loan or something?

the fiduciary rule is good for consumers. It is good for markets. It is good for competition. It is good for startups.

I think that is an excellent proposal, and it really would rebalance things...

Mr. Chairman, I thank Mr. Calvert for allowing me time to discuss an issue that is important to my constituents in Ocean City, Maryland. I am proud that Ocean City is home to beautiful beaches and views and, as a result, a booming tourism…

If the gentleman will continue to yield, I thank him for giving us an update. I also thank him for the consideration of our Members who live in the southeast and scheduling Harvey early and then no votes subsequent to that because I have…

Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to bring up H.R. 3440, the DREAM Act, to protect Fatima, whose young brothers-- exceptional soccer talents in Montgomery County, Maryland--were deported over a great public protest just last month. The…
