Americans can tolerate ingratitude, we can tolerate insult, but we cannot tolerate the senseless killing of the official representative of our country and those who served with him, three others.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I rise today in support of the underlying bill. And I think that the American people expect us to have a debate here in Washington that is about better policy and not one-upmanship and various 30-second…

I would like to thank the leader of the Ag Committee for his important leadership on this issue and many, many others. Mr. Speaker, just like in Nebraska where we're hoping for rain, I'm actually hoping for a long-term farm bill…

I thank the gentlelady from Minnesota for yielding, and thank you for your stalwart and courageous stand for life tonight. Women deserve better than abortion, and of course celebrating an extraordinary organization such as Priests for Life…

I thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, this weekend back home in Lincoln, Nebraska, at a small business, a shop owner named Mary and another woman were engaged in conversation. She looked up when they were done and saw me…

The Affordable Care Act is just the opposite--unaffordable. It's chock-full of new taxes, increased government spending, and provisions that are going to make health care more expensive. CBO found that this new law's insurance mandates…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for convening this hearing today to focus on the U.S. policy toward Nigeria.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: On page 14, after line 9, insert the following new section: SEC. 207. FUEL REQUIREMENTS WAIVER AND STUDY…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My amendment is a rather simple one and I hope all of my colleagues can support it. Many of us remember the devastation brought on by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. But even more folks outside of the gulf region…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for allowing me the opportunity to express my concerns with proposals that would allow the Department of Homeland Security to impose cybersecurity private infrastructure that it deems ``critical.'' The…

I wish to enter into a colloquy with the gentleman from Alabama, Chairman Aderholt. First, I want to commend his leadership on this appropriations bill concerning the security screenings of children by the Transportation Security…

I thank the gentleman from Alabama again for his leadership on the overall appropriations bill here and for his particular sensitivity to this issue. With that, Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time. Amendment Offered by Ms…
