Mr. Speaker, today is a very important day. Today, the House is debating on a continuing resolution and also an amendment to that resolution which would authorize under title 10 the expenditure of $500 million to train moderate Syrian…

What do you do when the wolf is in front of the door? Do you move back from the door and then kneel down and pray and hope that everything is okay? Or do you take some action? In this kind of situation, the wolf is not at the door yet, but…

Will there be a standard that all of these states must hold?

I must admit I am a little concerned as to the timing and why we are having this hearing at this time on this very important subject.

Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

There is a disparity of how this is viewed from state to state.

The problem that comes then is for the man and the woman that is getting up there every day and going to work... It is pretty frustrating for them to see somebody who maybe loses their job or doesn't go to work because they fail a drug…

If in a state's application they said that we were not going to allow somebody who lost their job because they failed a drug test to receive Federal SNAP benefits, would the Secretary allow that as part of the application process?

Mr. Speaker, tonight, I rise to urge the House to adopt H.R. 4119, the West Hunter Street Baptist Church Study Act. Mr. Speaker, this is a noncontroversial and bipartisan piece of legislation. I was proud to introduce this bill in…

Mr. Speaker, I rise today as a member of the Safe Climate Caucus to urge this Do-Nothing Congress to acknowledge the dangers and the reality of climate change. This week we got startling news that once again is falling on deaf ears here in…

We are deeply supportive of DHS's efforts to protect the U.S. homeland and make every effort to amplify its work through diplomatic engagement and information sharing with our allies and partners.

We are alert to the possibility that terrorist groups and their supporters, including groups such as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), Hezbollah, and HAMAS, might view the Southern U.S.

We remain gravely concerned by the activities of terrorists in Syria and Iraq, including the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and al-Nusrah Front.
