Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for that comment. The gentleman is certainly correct, we have very substantial disagreements. We believe the Affordable Care Act is working. I was pleased to see the administration, at least in the…

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for that, and I would urge the Speaker and the majority leader to engage with others because I think that would be useful in facilitating the reaching of an agreement. I know that Leader Pelosi and I will…

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for his focus on that issue because we agree, of course, that that is a serious and volatile matter with which we need to deal in a hopefully effective way. Two items, one that the gentleman mentioned. We…

Mr. Speaker, I thank the majority leader for the information on the schedule for next week. I would ask him, with respect to Korea, that being on the floor-- also, as I understand it, the committee has been working on a Syria sanctions…

Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from California (Mr. McCarthy), the majority leader, for the purpose of inquiring of the schedule for the week to come. (Mr. McCARTHY asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.)…

Mr. Speaker, I hope that the Speaker's intention is carried out, which will require, over the next 72 hours, hard work by Members and by staff and a willingness to understand that each side has some things it must have and each side has…

Mr. Speaker, I am so pleased to be here in the House. I am not pleased that we are considering a continuing resolution. To that extent, I presume that I share the opinion of the chairman of the committee, Mr. Frelinghuysen. I presume, as…

Mr. President, I oppose the nomination of Alexander Acosta to be Secretary of the Department of Labor. Our Nation's Labor Secretary has a responsibility to protect the safety and legal rights of the American workforce. From prosecuting…

Mr. President, I wish to introduce the Medicare Home Health Flexibility Act of 2017. I am pleased that my colleague, the senior Senator from Nevada, Mr. Heller, has agreed to cosponsor this bipartisan, no-cost legislation that would allow…

Mr. President, July 18, 2017, marks the 70th anniversary of the day that the ship Exodus 1947 arrived in Haifa, Israel. The story of Exodus 1947 is as important today as it was 70 years ago. In 1947, the world was horrified and outraged by…

Mr. Speaker, I thank Congresswoman Jayapal for leading us in this Special Order to discuss President Trump's tax proposal, which we received this morning--or last night. The public discussion on taxes has been going on for several weeks…

Mr. Speaker, the President said he would drain the swamp in Washington. He has flooded it. He said he would break the cycle of corruption. He has accelerated it. Nearly 100 days into his administration, the President has reneged on the…

Mr. Speaker, I thank Mr. Clay for convening us this evening to discuss this very important matter. Why is it so important? Well, we live in a time of rampant official lawlessness and disrespect for the Constitution of the United States…

Mr. President, I supported Rod Rosenstein's nomination to become Deputy Attorney General. Throughout his 27-year career, Mr. Rosenstein has earned a reputation as a fair and focused administrator of justice. He has served in Maryland in…

Mr. Speaker, at the end of the week, President Trump will reach his 100th day in office. These first 100 days, unfortunately, have been defined by chaos, contradiction, and conflicts of interest, and he has broken campaign promise after…
