So this policy, let's be clear, the Attorney General, on April 6th, announced zero tolerance.

I certainly will take my colleague up on his invitation, and look forward to visiting his district and having him come to Boulder and Fort Collins, where I know there are plenty of 16- and 17-year-olds who are very eager to be able to…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Colorado will be postponed. Amendment No. 71 Offered by Mrs. Kirkpatrick The Acting CHAIR…

I am proud to offer an amendment today to ensure early registration, or pre-registration, for all 16- and 17- year-olds across the country ahead of their 18th birthday. To be clear, my amendment does not lower the voting age; it simply…

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 A of title I of the bill, insert the following: PART 8--VOTER REGISTRATION OF MINORS…

I thank my colleague from Illinois for yielding. Mr. Speaker, the Department of Energy's Cheney Disposal Cell in Mesa County, Colorado, is a critical component of the DOE legacy management mission to protect public health and the…
