Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to this and the other two bills before the House this week regarding Iran, all of which would weaken our national security and our international standing, and all of which the President has rightly…

Mr. Speaker, this agreement is too important and the stakes are too high to treat this issue as just another political football. The safety and security of the United States, of Israel, and of the region depend on the successful…

Mr. Chair, I rise in strong support of the bipartisan amendment to prohibit seismic testing in the Atlantic, which I have cosponsored, along with colleagues from New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, and South Carolina. After taking into account…

Mr. Meadows. What concerns me is not just with the hard-working American taxpayer dollar that we are looking at in this $32 million discrepancy.

Madam Speaker, the charge that this would allow a woman's boss to prevent her from obtaining an abortion is a true outrage. It is a disgusting red herring. This bill would allow employers to continue to have the freedom to decline to pay…

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I appreciate so much my colleague from Vermont being concerned about the time that mountain women have for looking at their beans. I want to tell you, we have been eating genetically…

Madam Speaker, each year, families across the country face difficult decisions about where they can afford to send their children to college and what institution is the best fit for them. Students must wade through massive and often…

Madam Speaker, by direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 822 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 822 Resolved, That upon adoption of this resolution it shall…

Madam Speaker, House Resolution 822 provides for a closed rule providing for consideration of S. 304, the Conscience Protection Act, and a motion to concur with the Senate amendment to the House amendment to S. 764, GMO labeling…
