I am prepared to close, as well, and I yield myself the balance of my time. With the rule we consider today, the Republican majority ends a failed year in the choke hold of its most extreme members. They are finishing out 2023 as they…

I thank Representative Kaptur for all her extraordinary work for Ukraine many Congresses over and especially now since the brutal invasion. Madam Speaker, it has been more than 650 days since Putin's illegal and brutal invasion of Ukraine…

I rise before you today to recognize the A&B Heating and Sheet Metal Company from Warren County. Originally founded in 1953 by World War II veteran, Carl Papalia, the family-owned small business continues to provide excellent services to…

I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 707. ____________________

This bipartisan bill will grant the FCC temporary authority to issue over 7,500 licenses that have been stalled while the spectrum auction authority has lapsed. To address this issue, I am proud to be the sponsor of the 5G SALE Act, which…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. The Lower Costs, More Transparency Act is part of our commitment to supporting our patients, creating access to affordable medications, and making the healthcare process easier to access for literally…

In 2022, we saw the highest number of opioid overdose deaths in our Nation's history. These deaths are the result of soft-on-crime policies from the Biden administration that have failed to enforce strict penalties on the traffickers who…

In just a few years we have had a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic, a worldwide energy crisis, and as a result, the fastest inflation in 40 years. The cost of living is too high, and the financial strain on American families is real. Americans…

I rise before you today to recognize an important day in American history. On December 7, 1941, our great Nation was suddenly attacked by the Imperial Japanese Navy, leading to the death of 2,043 American servicemembers and civilians. Mr…

I thank my good friend, the gentleman on the other side of the aisle, but, again, transparency is key. Universities have become, unfortunately, as we have seen in our public media on this very day and on these very days, hotspots for…

My good friend and colleague talks about protecting national security and implies that somehow this amendment would imperil that. I don't understand how letting Americans know more about who is providing funds internationally to our…

I would like to begin by thanking Chair Foxx for her hard work in an effort to try to right our country and the committee that she so artfully presides over. This amendment, Mr. Chairman, simply adds international organizations to the…

I have an amendment at the desk. The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 15, line 18, strike ``and''. Page 16, line 7, strike the period and insert ``; and''. Page 16, after line 7…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, once again, we are seeing President Biden put Green New Deal priorities ahead of Pennsylvania families. By proposing to eliminate gas-powered cars from our roads, the Biden administration is…

Far too often, we have seen the Biden administration impose onto American energy producers burdensome regulations that only serve to drive up costs and limit production. Instead of turning to power sources like natural gas, oil, or…

Yesterday, our national debt eclipsed $33.8 trillion. This means that we have now crossed a dangerous new threshold of over $100,000 of debt for every man, woman, and child in the United States. This rampant and wasteful spending has only…

Plenty of my colleagues claim to have the best high school football. Of course, they will be wrong because western Pennsylvania is second to none. When Jack Lambert took his place in the Hall of Fame, he called folks in western…

It is said that the Lord takes nothing out of season, and so in this season of Thanksgiving, I rise to give thanks for my big brother, Harry W. Dean. After 74 years of life filled with adventure, love, and laughs, my brother Harry died on…
