I urge Members to support this legislation. It has tremendous bipartisan support, and, with that, I yield back the balance of my time.

I thank the gentleman. Mr. Speaker, this is not a gimmick. For the past, almost going on now 4 years, our colleagues in the Senate have failed in their most basic responsibility of governance, which is to pass a budget. The people I…

More than 4 months have passed since the terrorist attacks in Benghazi, which killed four Americans, including our ambassador, injured many others, and destroyed two U.S. facilities. Yet, despite the months that have passed, we're hardly…

Friday marks the annual March for Life, and I look forward to joining the thousands of constituents that will journey to Washington to be the voice of the unborn and champions for their protection. Without abortion, we can only imagine…

I am pleased to yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Rogers), the prime sponsor of this legislation.

The Russian President recently signed a law to prevent American citizens from adopting Russian children. Sadly, it appears that the Russian Government is playing politics with children and is destroying the dreams of many Americans already…

Thank you for your service and your friendship to our country. I've been watching the media, Mr. Speaker, and hearing a lot of distortion of what happened in the House Chamber yesterday. Let's recall that on December 31 at midnight, taxes…

Members of Congress do not deserve a pay raise. I won't accept one. In fact, all of us should have our pay docked, as should the president. But that's not what this vote is about. It's time for members of both parties to stop attacking our…

The American people do not get an automatic pay increase, and neither should Members of Congress. My bill, the Congressional Pay Freeze and Fiscal Responsibility Act, gives us the chance to show the American people that, at least in this…

Mr. President, as we confront a whole range of difficult issues at the end of this year and at the end of this Congress, we should also be reminded we have fighting men and women serving for us all over the world. We think especially…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 404, nays 0, not voting 27, as follows: [Roll No. 653]…
