I just want to take a moment to address something the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Pallone), my very good friend, had to say about what is not in the bill. Again, as another speaker referenced, I always believe you look at legislation…

for 8 years, beginning with my time in the House, I have worked on the Miami-Illinois Land Claim Settlement Act, which is now S. 2796. I want to thank Chief Lankford of the Miami Tribe for his assistance to move this bill forward and to…

I rise today to express my gratitude to the Armed Services Committee and Energy and Natural Resources Committee for working to include an important provision that passed as part of the fiscal year 2025 National Defense Authorization Act…

I advise my friend I am prepared to close whenever she is, and I reserve the balance of my time. Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, if the gentleman would understand that I am waiting for someone else who was coming, but I reserve the balance of my…

I appreciate my colleague from Utah in his fine arguments. Obviously, you can tell he is a great attorney. What frustrates me is that I am literally down the hall. My colleague could have, at any time, picked up the phone and called me…

Well, if there wasn't a cloud, then this wouldn't be an issue. So, obviously, there was, and there is. You can say what you want to, but there is. That is why we are here today. That is why we are trying to solve the issue. This is why the…

I reserve the balance of my time. Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Roy).

May I inquire how much time I have remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Oklahoma has 1\1/2\ minutes remaining.

I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The objection is heard. The Senator from Wyoming. ____________________

I thank Congressman Weber for the opportunity to participate in this important discussion this evening. I can't think of a person who I have interacted with for the last 22 years that I have enjoyed any more than Dr. Burgess. Sitting in…

This bill undermines that verbal promise. Constitutionally sound agreements to the Federal Government must be adhered to. I think we should all agree to that. Nations fall apart when people walk back commitments to one another. The entire…

If a Tribe cannot prove the necessary documentation to receive Federal recognition, they should not receive it by Congress' action. If the Lumbee have a historical record of being a formal Tribe, if they have evidence of lineage to any…

This will lead to a vast and irresponsible increase in Federal spending. I would like to respectfully refute the claim that this does not increase spending. Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record the CBO report from the 117th Congress…

Just because CBO this time around didn't score it, doesn't mean it doesn't have a cost. It just means they didn't score it. The score from it 2 years ago was three-quarters of a billion dollars.

the question is 'why are we giving our kids 72 shots now?'

I vote in favor of S. 4199, the Judicial Understaffing Delays Getting Emergencies Solved Act of 2024, to allow for the creation of additional judgeships in under resourced district courts across the country. However, this is not the…

It is true, Mr. Upton. It is better than the House Committee on Ethics. For those Members that have been around for a while, I tell you that to say that I was in for a challenge. As the Members know, being on four committees is not an easy…

Thank you very much. First of all, thank you, Barbara, and to the former Members for honoring me. It is truly an incredible honor for me to receive this. I think it would be wise for me to share with all of you how I got here because it is…
