I continue to reserve. Mr. McMAHON. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I will just conclude by applauding the gentleman from Ohio for his passion and concern for our men and women in uniform, and certainly for the…

In closing, I want to thank the gentlelady from Florida for her commitment to this debate and for her passion to make sure American foreign policy always receives a very strong and ringing endorsement. I want to thank the gentleman from…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, this 15- minute vote on adopting House Concurrent Resolution 301 will be followed by 5-minute votes on suspending…

The Congressional Black Caucus, the CBC, is proud to anchor this hour on jobs and the economy. Currently, the CBC is chaired by the Honorable Barbara Lee from the Ninth Congressional District of California. My name is Congresswoman Marcia…

I would very much like to thank the gentlelady from California, who has been a tireless advocate for the jobless, the homeless, the helpless, the hopeless. This caucus is better for her being a member. At this time I would like to yield to…

I want to thank my friend for being here. She always does bring a different view. Just to see those photographs says an awful lot, you know. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and it's just important for people to understand…

I absolutely agree with you 100 percent. If we don't start to make things again in this Nation, we may, in fact, have a permanent underclass of people who will never work again, people who grew up in blue collar communities like mine who…

I thank the kind chairman, Mr. McDermott, for yielding me the 2 minutes. Sometimes when they say gentlewoman, I don't feel so gentle on the subject of unemployment. And in fact, I rise in strong support of this bill, which is long overdue…

Mr. President, I thank Senator Harkin. Before I was in the Senate, for several years in the House I watched from afar the work Senator Harkin did. No one, and I mean no one--we hear a lot of accolades here; not always as genuine, perhaps…
