Mr. Speaker, I have no further speakers on the legislation. I reserve the balance of my time.

Madam President, on March 3, 2022, I missed vote No. 68, on S.J. Res. 38, a joint resolution relating to a national emergency declared by the President on March 13, 2020. Had I been in attendance, I would have voted no. ____________________

Madam Speaker, we have a bit of the tyranny of the clock, as you know, so I am going to try to do this somewhat rapidly. There has been a lot of speechifying today. I am frustrated because I don't have an elegant or delicate way to say…

Mr. Speaker, this is going to be one of those moments where you sort of walk through. We obviously had the State of the Union a couple nights ago. Instead of just sort of walking through my frustrations with it, I want to dice up a couple…

Mr. President, on February 16, 2022, I missed vote No. 56, cloture on Executive Calendar No. 692, Celeste Ann Wallander, of Maryland, to be an Assistant Secretary of Defense. Had I been in attendance, I would have voted yes. Mr. President…

Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question are postponed…

Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding. It is good to be here. I am glad my friend is raising awareness. I am going to go as quickly as I possibly can because I don't know how much time I am going to take up. But let's talk…

Madam President, I strongly believe a woman's healthcare decisions should be between her, her doctor, and her family, which is why I voted to advance today's bill. If it advanced, I would have offered an amendment to remove editorial…

Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Ohio for yielding time to me. I am grateful that we are going to be voting today on this version of this bill. I think it is a much-improved version as opposed to the one that came out of…

Mr. Speaker, last week, I got behind this microphone, and we were actually trying to show something that was a bit optimistic. But like everyone else on our side, the frustration we are going through on so many of the Democrat policies…

Mr. Speaker, I am going to read off some headlines. The first one is from the New York Post. It says, ``Fentanyl now leading cause of death among teens in Arizona border county.'' In the article it says, ``Fentanyl overdoses have overtaken…

Mr. Speaker, I was just listening to Congressman LaMalfa from California, and I couldn't agree with him more. Here we are, in the United States, where crime is skyrocketing. Fentanyl is crossing the border in record amounts and is the…

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Then when you are done doing your ride-along with the Phoenix city policeman, he is heartbroken. He has actually even moved out of the very neighborhood that he loved, that he has patrolled because even he thinks…

Madam Speaker, we all get behind these microphones on occasion and we want to share something. And tonight, I am going to try to stay on a theme. I am going to try to walk through one of my intense frustrations around here that we keep…

Madam Speaker, before we begin, I actually want to yield to the gentleman from California (Mr. Calvert). Honoring the Life of Tristan Krogius

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I may have a slightly different tone here. I was born in an unwed mother's home in downtown L.A., and so were all my siblings. In my late thirties, I got an email out of…

Mr. Speaker, you wouldn't believe it, but as I was walking here today to speak about the value of life, my daughter called me, and she is headed to the hospital to give birth to my fifth grandchildren, my second granddaughter. So isn't…

Madam Speaker, there are so many things we all want to talk about and share, and sometimes, as Members of Congress, we run in front of microphones and sort of do the shiny, loud object of the day because, let's face it, that gets us…
