May I get a time count, please, on how much each side has remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Oregon has 45 seconds remaining. The gentleman from New Jersey has 4\1/2\ minutes remaining.

Today, Members of this House can deliver peace of mind to parents of over 8 million low-income children who depend on the Children's Health Insurance Program. The House can extend funding for important public health programs, including…

I claim the time in opposition to the motion to recommit. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Oregon is recognized for 5 minutes.

I reserve a point of order against the motion to recommit. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman's point of order is reserved. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from South Carolina is recognized for 5 minutes in support of his motion.

Let's get this back where it belongs. We are fully funding the Children's Health Insurance Program for 5 years and community health centers for 2 years. The only sabotage of the Affordable Care Act going on here today is stopping cuts for…

I will just point out that the gentleman who just spoke has voted to cut the Prevention Fund before to use it for other purposes. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

How cynical what we just heard. How cynical. Ms. Velazquez has 43,000 children in CHIP, $2 billion in DSH cuts in her district, 43 health centers, and she is going to vote against $1 billion for the citizens of Puerto Rico and the Virgin…

I appreciate the gentleman's sincerity. We work well together on lots of issues. He has also voted to use this Prevention Fund for other purposes in the past, as have I. We don't touch the Prevention Fund for 2018, and there is $400…

I would point out there are about 50,000 kids that Mr. Green may be voting against today in the Houston area if this goes down and we can't get this over to the Senate and work it out with them. Twice he has voted to cut the Prevention…

To respond. Mr. Speaker, my friend, and she is my friend from California, obviously was not aware of the fact that it was her party, her leader, who asked us on three occasions to delay bringing this to the floor, including you could look…

Before I call on my next person to say something here, there are 17,000 children in Mr. Pallone's district and 14 health centers that, if he votes ``no,'' he will be voting against. By the way, the offset he recommended, people who are…

Before I call on my next colleague, I just want to point out that, in Ms. Schakowsky's district, all we are talking about here is seniors making $41,000 a month--a month--would pay an extra 135 bucks so we can fully fund children's health…

I want to thank Mr. Guthrie from Kentucky. He has done a terrific job on the Energy and Commerce Committee on many fronts related to improving healthcare, especially for seniors and low- income Americans, among others. Mr. Speaker, today I…

I thank Mr. Lipinski for yielding and also for organizing this Special Order for the Climate Solutions Caucus. I also want to thank the founders of the Climate Solutions Caucus, Congressman Ted Deutch from Florida and Congressman Carlos…

I thank the gentleman. My intensity of this issue is almost that of the fires we fight. We can reduce the size and intensity of fires by 70 percent if we do the kinds of projects that thin out the forest, better manage, and be better…

I thank the gentleman from the Rules Committee, my colleague from across the river in Washington State. My apologies to Washingtonians because one of our fires, the Eagle Creek fire, actually spotted across the mighty Columbia River, set…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that my intern, Isamar Chavez, be granted privileges of the floor for the remainder of the day. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________
