Pursuant to section 3(a)of House Resolution 491, I hereby give notice of intention that the House consider the following joint resolutions on Wednesday, July 17, 2019: S.J. Res. 36; S.J. Res. 37; and S.J. Res. 38. The SPEAKER pro tempore…

I know the gentleman is concerned. We share that concern, and we share the concern for the people of south Louisiana. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, the House will meet at noon for morning-hour debate, 2 p.m. for legislative business, with votes…

I thank the gentleman for his comment, Joe Wilson, of course, a member of his party. Joe Wilson filed that bill five Congresses ago, 8 years ago, and it languished. It was not brought to the floor. It did not pass. I understand the…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I think we have exhausted that subject. I think the positions have not changed since 1938, and I don't expect them to change in the next few minutes.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. We did have a meeting, and in a bipartisan fashion, I think we are all hopeful that we can pass the USMCA. I was here when we passed NAFTA, as was the Speaker. There were a number of promises made, as…

Obviously, we could debate a bill we just passed, a bill that has been debated on this floor for 3 days, a bill that was chairmanned and supported by somebody equally, if not more, bipartisan in terms of his work over the years on this…

I only want to say that I do not accept the premise that anything in this bill we just passed with a majority vote undermines training, operations, or acquisitions, period.

I thank my friend for yielding. Mr. Speaker, before I get into the schedule, I know that all of our thoughts are with my good friends in Louisiana and my good friend who represents Louisiana, his constituents, and the people of Louisiana…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I would simply say that he said the entire State of Maine. Maybe he missed the fact that I said 27 million people, under this bill, are going to get an increase in their salary and in their ability to…

I thank the gentleman for his observations. He, I think, told a partial story of the CBO study and some other studies. Of course, he mentioned the city of Baltimore. The problem with the city of Baltimore, as the mayor who vetoed it…

The hardworking men and women of the Armed Services certainly don't need a bunch of ceremonial pageantry paid for by the taxpayers simply because the President decides, upon a monarchical whim, that he wants to see one outside in front of…

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 subtitle E of title X, insert the following: SEC. 10__. LIMITATION ON USE OF FUNDS FOR…

Ridiculous, ludicrous, absurd, all of this, right? Well, I guess the Constitution is absurd because the Founders of the Constitution took pains to build not one but two Emoluments Clauses right into the text of the Constitution. Article I…

This President spent 270 days at Trump-owned properties. Think about that for a second. What if Barack Obama had not only taken the press corps and the government with him to Martha's Vineyard, but made everybody stay at the Obama Hotel…

Mr. President, America's strength is in our values. In that vein, I rise to talk about human rights and America's historic role as a defender of universal human rights for all peoples. I have been a member of the U.S. Commission on…

Mr. President, today I wish to discuss Americans' access to healthcare and patient protections that are carelessly being threatened by President Trump and his administration, specifically, his decision to not uphold the Patient Protection…

Madam President, Sunday morning, I did what I think most people in this Nation did if they were not in France. I turned on the television to watch the women's national soccer team perform in an incredible showing of talent and commitment…

Congratulations, Chairman Smith, on bringing to the floor an excellent bill. I want to also congratulate Mr. Thornberry from Texas, a responsible Member of this Congress, a responsible member of the minority, and a person who has been a…
