Israel suffered a tragic loss on October 7, 2023. The people of Israel are in mourning. The lives of innocent civilian Israeli men, women, and especially children matter. They must be protected. This includes the hostages, all of whom must…

I have a motion at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Roy moves to recommit the bill (H.R. 8035) to the Committee on Appropriations. The SPEAKER pro tempore…

--to be able to make a difference. We are not doing that. We are rejecting that. We need to help this Nation. We are not doing that. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman is no longer recognized.

I would just ask if the gentleman from Massachusetts has additional speakers. If not, I am prepared to close, and I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I am prepared to close, and I yield myself the balance of my…

the Senate is currently debating the reauthorization of section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. I call this the most important law that most Americans never heard of. But it is an essential tool for our intelligence…

it is illegal for the U.S. Government or any of its Agencies to spy on American citizens. It is illegal. And nothing in this bill changes that. The fact is, the House has passed a reform bill which has made it far less likely for there to…

I thank my distinguished colleague from Texas for yielding me time, and I very much appreciate his service. I apologize that I am here on the floor in opposition to a rule in his first week as chairman of the Rules Committee. I have great…

I thought we would come here today and have a reasoned opportunity to address this question. Let me be very clear. I have been in this body long enough to say that we have had a time where Members have been here and we have had control of…

Those individuals need processes and they need funding. We won't even give them war funding. As a member of the Homeland Security Committee, I can tell you that the issue is that we are not bringing groups together who are fleeing…

This is a very difficult time for Members because we are talking about world issues. Tomorrow, we will be talking about world issues, as well, and that is the final adjournment. If we do not do our work, the funding of the Ukraine money…

But here is the practical problem: The House of Representatives has passed this bill, and one particular, important aspect of this is a warrant vote that was a tie vote. So this bill-- this law--lapses tomorrow night at 12 midnight, and it…
