I am concerned about the impact that elimination of long-distance service would have on shared infrastructure with state-supported routes.

the elimination of the highly effective and popular TIGER program, for which I have advocated consistently since its creation nearly a decade ago, is a mistake.

Mr. President, I would like to take a moment today to talk about the ongoing efforts by the Senate Republicans to take away health insurance from millions of Americans by repealing the Affordable Care Act. I was here on the floor just a…

Mr. Speaker, during the full committee markup of the fiscal year 2018 National Defense Authorization Act, the House Armed Services Committee came together to produce a strong bipartisan bill that will ensure investment in and oversight of…

I hope very much that, as we look at WIFIAs and TIFIAs, we can at least be thinking about the prospect of a coastal IFIA.

I do think that there is a role for TIFIA and its water cousin, WIFIA, in such a bill.

So it is a really serious issue for Rhode Island and I think other coastal States to address the problem of the new pressures on our coasts of storms and seas.

Mr. President, today I am introducing the State Flood Mitigation Revolving Fund Act of 2017 along with Senators Kennedy and Menendez. The purpose of this bill is to reduce flood risk and the costs associated with flooding by establishing a…

Mr. Chair, on rollcall vote 335, I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``no.'' The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Yoder). The question is on the amendment in the nature of a substitute, as amended. The amendment was agreed…

Mr. Chair, I thank the gentleman for yielding. I rise in strong opposition to H.R. 1215, which should be more accurately called the taking away access to care and justice act. This bill will do nothing to strengthen patient protections and…

But too often, veterans and servicemembers are unable to enforce these rights under USERRA in court because of the increased use of forced arbitration in employment contracts.

Our veterans and their families have sacrificed much in the service to our country and the fundamental idea that we are a Nation of laws and institutions that guarantee the rights of every American and ensure their access to justice.

This law guarantees veterans and servicemembers, including the Reserves and National Guard, the right to be free from discrimination in the workplace on the basis of their military service.

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from New York for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise to support H. Res. 351, which condemns the violence and persecution against LGBT or perceived-to-be LGBT individuals in Chechnya. This resolution is an…

not only the reaffirmation of Article 5, but also a positive statement about the common threat of cyber against the United States.

I share your concern that the President really has to take the lead here for obvious reasons.
