Mr. President, first of all, while Senator Blunt and Senator Stabenow are still on the floor, I want to thank both of them for their extraordinary leadership on this mental health issue. I am so pleased that the Bipartisan Safer…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I, too, rise today in support of H.R. 7666, the Restoring Hope for Mental Health and Well-Being Act of 2022. Our Nation, as you know, is facing a continuing mental health and substance use…

Due to my attendance at an Appropriations hearing, I was unable to make rollcall vote No. 280. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea.'' members recorded pursuant to house resolution 8, 117th congress Allred (Takano) Bonamici…

I thank the chairman and ranking member for the work they have done together and with the committee to bring this very important bipartisan bill to the floor. I thank them both for their hard work, and the committee for its hard work, in…

Today, I rise to applaud the passage of Restoring Hope for Mental Health and Well-Being Act of 2022, a comprehensive package of over 30 bills, 6 of which I proudly led. Today, over 50 million Americans struggle with mental illness, and…

Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate vote at 6 p.m. on the motion to discharge the nomination of Hernan D. Vera to be United States District Judge for the Central District of California. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without…

Madam President, I take this time to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the enactment of title IX. It was passed and enacted on June 23, 50 years ago, when President Nixon signed title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 into law, which…

I want to tell Mr. Bresnahan that he made the same promise to me, which is why we did this. If he was going to sing it, I was a little reluctant to do this, and he didn't. I join the whip in wishing John Bresnahan, a friend, a very careful…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I would simply observe, as I observed the other day, that we all want to make sure that our Justices are safe. Let me say, Madam Speaker, there is a very important reason for that. We want to keep all…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. We continue to talk about this as if this were the President's fault. First of all, in a much wider range, this is a result of the pandemic. Why is it the result of the pandemic? Not solely the pandemic…

The chairman has done a wonderful job as the chairman of the Agriculture Committee, and I know that you are working together to bring people together. One of the things that I most admire about Chairman Scott is that he wants to have a…

Before I start on the colloquy and go through the schedule, I was just talking to the Republican whip, my friend, Mr. Scalise. We were talking about a friend of ours, his name is John Bresnahan; he is a reporter. He has covered Capitol…

I thank the gentleman for all of that information. It continues to befuddle me why our Republican friends would much prefer to blame President Biden and so avoid placing blame on Mr. Trump's friend, Mr. Putin. I don't understand that…

What I said was, in Trump's last year, refineries in the U.S. reduced their capacity by more than 800,000 barrels. That didn't have anything to do about leases. That had to do with an economic decision, which probably made sense because…

Mr. President, this Sunday, we commemorate the 157th Juneteenth, a portmanteau of June and the nineteenth, which celebrates the liberation of the last remaining enslaved Black Americans at the end of the Civil War. This is our newest…

I thank the gentleman for his question. He has mentioned this before. I am talking to the committee whose jurisdiction this bill is in to consider what they want to do with it, and I am waiting to hear back from them.

I thank the gentleman for his question. I think it is a very relevant question. I am hopeful that we can move that as early as possible. I want to tell the gentleman the reason he thought that it might be moved this morning was because…

I thank the gentleman from Louisiana, the Republican whip, for yielding. Madam Speaker, on Monday, the House will meet at 12 p.m. for morning hour and 2 p.m. for legislative business, with votes postponed, as usual, until 6:30 p.m. On…
