I thank the gentleman for those kind and gracious words and the insights that he shared with us. Congress has changed over the years. I am really not telling a secret that anyone here doesn't already know but let me tell you the…

I think it is appropriate that the last presenter ended with a verse from the Bible. It was a marvelous verse, and that is what this Special Order is going to be about. Recently, in November, we celebrated, once again, since the year 1941…

I want to be brief, but I would like to briefly say something that might be an odd thing for the Senator from Colorado to say, which is how grateful I am to the people of Ohio for sending Sherrod Brown to the U.S. Senate for all of these…

As the next speaker comes up, Buddy Carter from the State of Georgia, I want to mention something very personal that happened 2 years ago. I was at this podium, and I told some people back in the district that we were going to have this…

I thank my colleague from Oregon, Representative Hoyle, for her kind words and her articulate description of the bill that we are considering today. In particular, I thank Ranking Member Larsen for his leadership on the committee and his…

This Administration is costing American jobs and livelihoods.
