Representative Wasserman Schultz, if you will allow me to just make a comment here.

If the gentlelady would yield, you talk about telling statements on the floor or the behavior in and around Washington that proves very telling, actions sometimes speaking louder than words. The activity that has taken place on this floor…

And I think the actions taken by the majority in this House--Speaker Pelosi and members of the Democratic majority--have been about job creation, private sector growth. What I don't think the other side realizes is that what we have out…

Thank you, Representative Wasserman Schultz. It's a pleasure to join with you and Representative Ryan on the floor here to talk about what's happening. You talked about Representative Ryan's district and mine being about making things. I…

To my colleague from Florida and my colleague from Ohio, I would say this: I believe, the sense I get is that there's a very thoughtful process now to provide the strong incentives to grow small business, to grow private sector jobs, done…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Kaufman). Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________

Mr. President, I wish to announce that the Committee on Rules and Administration will meet on Wednesday, July 28, 2010, at 10:30 a.m., to hear testimony on ``Examining the Filibuster: Legislative Proposals to Change Senate Procedures.''…

Mr. President, I rise today in strong support of S. 3628, the Democracy Is Strengthened by Casting Light on Spending in Elections Act, otherwise known as the DISCLOSE Act. I urge my colleagues to support the motion to proceed to a debate…

Madam President, I rise in strong support of the bipartisan amendment to the small business bill offered by Senators Landrieu and LeMieux. The amendment would make $30 billion of capital available to community banks across the country…

Well, it would require the publication of a report; and, in short, it would require that small should actually mean small, and require fairness and transparency. So I urge my colleagues to join me in cosponsoring this important bill…

Thank you, Chairman Levin, for giving me this opportunity, and again to Congressman McDermott for working so hard to try to protect those people who have lost their opportunity to take care of their families because they have lost their…

The Joint Economic Committee, which I chair, has just issued the latest edition of our series of State-by- State snapshots of the economy. It notes that, in June, private sector employment grew in 32 States and the District of Columbia…

May I request additional time? The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the Speaker's announced policy the Chair is constrained, not to entertain, such a request. The gentlelady's time has expired.

Thank you, Representative Garamendi. It is great to join with our Democratic colleagues here on the floor to share our thoughts on how we rebuild this Nation's economy. And it's absolutely the truth that what was inherited here was a huge…

Representative Garamendi, I like these lightning rounds. I think you are right on to the absolute powerful course to make certain that tax policy speaks in defense of American workers, American families. Absolutely essential, making…

Thank you, Madam Chair. I do want to acknowledge the great work done in bringing to focus the importance of Saratoga and its race course and its season to the local economy. I commend my colleague Scott Murphy, the Representative in the…

Thank you, Representative Wasserman Schultz. It's so encouraging to have people see the difference in how we approach reform here in Washington. There are those who will suggest that the 8.2 million jobs lost during the Bush recession were…

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this important Homeland Security legislation. This legislation authorizes a program that has been very instrumental in keeping the City of New York and…
