I want to thank the gentlelady for holding this hour. And I want to thank her for yielding and I want to thank all my colleagues for being here tonight. As I listen to my colleagues this evening, I could not help but think that the…

Fraudulent Fab. As he talked, I heard no remorse. I heard folks basically saying, This is the way we do it, this is how we do it, and almost implying that it was none of our business, none of the business of the Senate or the House. The…

Our clients' interests always come first. If that were truly their goal, they would have put out that information. They seem to be saying, Well, you know, maybe it may be a little teeny bit unethical, but we did not have a duty. When you…

Again, you make the case for why we have to have reform. We have to have reform and act with the urgency of now, because every moment that goes by, I'm afraid there's going to be another Goldman Sachs deal. By the way, others are watching…

I want to first thank Representative Andrews for introducing the IMPROVE Act, H.R. 5013, and to Chairman Skelton for all their hard work on this legislation and really steadfast support of our armed services. My amendment will help…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Amendment No. 5 offered by Ms. Edwards of Maryland: Page 61, line 3, strike ``(c)'' and insert ``(d)''…

Let me just conclude--and I thank you, Mr. Andrews, for your comments because it's so true that as a Nation we have already seen the beginnings of an economic recovery, what looks to be a strong economic recovery, but we need to make sure…

I want to thank Chairman Skelton and Ranking Member McKeon for their efforts in crafting this important, bi- partisan bill to reform the acquisition system of the Department of Defense. I would also like to commend Congressmen Andrews and…

Mr. President, I understand that although the Republicans still have time left under the division, with their consent, it is permissible to proceed with the time for the majority. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is…

Madam President, let me express to my colleagues how disappointed I am that we were unable to move forward with debate on Wall Street reform. People should know that what we recently voted on was a motion to proceed so a bill could be…

Mr. President, I take this time to emphasize the need of our Nation to move forward with a comprehensive energy policy. I know the Presiding Officer shares that commitment and is working very hard on the Environment and Public Works…

Mr. President, I take this time to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Earth Day that we celebrate today, April 22. I think we first need to acknowledge that we have made a lot of progress since the Cuyahoga River in Ohio caught fire in…

I thank my friend of some 45 years, the chairman of the committee, for yielding. And I want to, before I start my remarks, say that I agree with him with respect to his observations regarding the Obama administration's efforts that are…

I thank the Republican whip for yielding. Madam Speaker, on Monday, the House will meet at 12:30 p.m. for morning-hour debate and at 2 p.m. for legislative business, with votes postponed until 6:30 p.m. On Tuesday, the House will meet at…

If the gentleman will yield, I'll simply say, I agree with the gentleman. And I agree with the gentleman, and certainly want to join together in this effort. And the gentleman will observe, that's why we have adopted, readopted statutory…

Before the gentleman asks another question, would you yield so I might comment on the comments that the gentleman made?

The gentleman indicates that we want to stop spending. Every economist from his side of the aisle to our side of the aisle said that if we did not spend money last year that we wouldn't have grown the economy. In fact, Ben Bernanke, the…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. As the gentleman knows, our number one priority has been and continues to be the progress on the creation of jobs. Last month's report was a positive report. We gained 162,000 jobs, and the economy is…
