I also ask unanimous consent that I be allowed to speak as in morning business. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Veterans Health Care

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Barrasso). Without objection, it is so ordered. Amendment No. 73

I move to lay that motion on the table. The motion to lay on the table was agreed to. The Senator from Alaska.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I rise today as a supporter and cosponsor of H.R. 7, the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act. I was a cosponsor of this legislation in the previous two Congresses, and I continue to support it after…

thank you very much for recognizing me to take the opportunity to address something I hope can readily and easily be solved. If common sense prevails--and we know it doesn't often enough here in our Nation's Capital--one, the Department of…

earlier this evening an amendment of mine was made pending to the legislation that we now have before us, amendment No. 73. I thank my colleagues for allowing that amendment to become pending, and I look forward to the opportunity now…

Thank you, Congressman. I know we probably sound like a broken record--and for the marchers coming in tomorrow, that is something that they used before there were CDs. Isn't that great--we have all of these marchers coming in who don't…

I thank the gentlewoman from North Carolina for yielding. Mr. Speaker, over these next 2 days, you will hear many of my colleagues rise in support of H.R. 36, as well they should. This bill protects pain-capable, pre-born children from…

There is more we need to do to build on the law and make our health care system work better.

I know research from the Hoover Institute has shown that women, younger workers, and workers without a college degree would be disproportionately affected by this 30-hour rule.

The 30-hour rule is clearly one of the more harmful provisions of Obamacare for many of our workers.

the President has already announced he would veto legislation, along with six others, six other vetoes, to help restore hours and therefore wages for these hard-working students.

Unfortunately, just weeks into the new Congress, we have already seen bill after bill introduced that would roll back the progress we have made.

I am a very strong supporter of free speech, and it's certainly an honor for the University of Kansas to host the President of the United States.

By allowing businesses to get out of offering health insurance to any employee working less than 40 hours, this bill will actually create the problems it claims to solve.

I believe strongly that the work did not end when we passed the Affordable Care Act. Far from it.

We created five working groups, all assigned to study different areas of tax reform and come up with proposals.

The United States has a long tradition of breaking down barriers and providing access for American goods and services in foreign markets.
