The Modernizing the Acquisition of Cybersecurity Experts Act will ensure that the Federal Government can hire any qualified cybersecurity professional as long as they have the right knowledge and skills even if they do not have a fancy…

I urge my colleagues to support this bipartisan bill, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Comer) that the House suspend the rules and…

Reserving the right to object, once again, we are asked to extend the flood program without any reforms to protect the taxpayers. Like many Federal programs, this Federal program is well-intentioned, but it may very well be the best…

Reserving the right to object. What I am trying to find here, is there a compromise? Is there some level of rich person that maybe the taxpayer could say: Enough is enough; they ought to pay their own way? Is there some level of rich…

reserving the right to object, the process is similar to what has been described but not exactly as has been described. The bill is sent out, everybody gets a chance to object. People who choose to object can come, that is also announced…

reserving the right to object. It is certainly not my intention to denigrate rich people. I aspire to be one someday. But I don't aspire to ask for free stuff from the government if I ever become a rich person. Why would we subsidize…

reserving the right to object. Let the record show from this discussion today that the Senator has objected to any limits on taxpayer-subsidized flood insurance, any limits: 250,000; 500,000; 750,000, even 10 million. This is a program…

Reserving the right to object, the statistics really do tell the story. Twenty-three percent of all homes that are insured under this program, whether they are in Louisiana or any other coastal State, are second homes or vacation homes. I…

reserving the right to object. We can today renew the National Flood Program and reform it. All it takes is for the Senators assembled here not to object to the reforms. I think that flood insurance provided by the taxpayer, subsidized by…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), add the following: Sec. _. None of the funds made…

Over the past year, our country has been engaged in a proxy war with Russia. We are on a path to a hot war where we will be directly involved if we don't change that path now. It is shortsighted to use cluster bombs there, to transfer…

If we want to send a signal that Indonesia is our friend, we need the President there.

Congress needs to maybe make a policy decision here with respect to the economic ramifications of cross-strait invasion.

I think it would be wise, given the fact that these are groups that are killing U.S. servicemembers, that Congress authorize the President to give him maximum authority and flexibility with respect to responding to those attacks.

Are the Taliban actively giving aid, and comfort, and assistance to terrorists?

This deserves investigation. This deserves accountability. The American people expect this Committee to investigate public corruption.

The bottom line is that the Committee has shown the Bidens alone have brought in over $15 million in their foreign-influence peddling, over $24 million if you account for their associates' earnings from the schemes.

One thing I did not hear from my friends across the aisle in their never-ending defense of the Bidens is what exactly the Biden family did to receive the $20 million. Not one thing.
