Once again, my amendment is simple. It directs the Secretary of Homeland Security, in collaboration with the Director of National Intelligence, Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, and appropriate private entities, to…

Again I rise as the designee of Mr. Burgess, and 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 title VII, add the following new section…

I thank the chairman for supporting the amendment. I urge adoption of the amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Utah (Mr. Stewart). The amendment…

What was said and what was tweeted was destructive, was demeaning, was disunifying and frankly was very wrong.

Look, the Minuteman III has been a great deterrent and a great source of security for this country, but it is 46 years old. It was put in the ground when I was in college, and I can't even remember what I was doing in college. It has…

I claim the time in opposition for the process of what we are doing, not necessarily the substance of the amendment at hand. Since this bill had first been heard in our committee, there have been new voices that have been raised by the…

Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 420. Amendment No. 35 Offered by Mr. Kim The Acting CHAIR. The unfinished business is the demand for a recorded vote on the amendment offered by the gentleman from New Jersey…

I think we have three crises. One of them is obviously humanitarian, something that every one of us in this room cares about. One of them is security. And the third one is political, a political crisis here in D.C. in our inability to fix…

I thank the chairman for yielding. I want to continue to work with the gentleman and the Appropriations Committee's Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies to fight the…
