Reclaiming my time. First, the gentleman is an expert and knows much more than I do about this. I take that as a given. Secondly, he is on the authorizing committee. That committee has full authority to do that. He says it wouldn't be in…

Reclaiming my time, Ms. Boebert. There are no funds in this bill to do that, so this is just an opportunity for you to stand and perhaps speak about an important subject. I understand that. Nevertheless, there are no funds in this bill to…

Do you understand if we do this amendment, then any subject that anybody has an interest in would be subject to such an amendment? Now, the Rules Committee has waived points of order contrary to what they said they wanted done when we were…

First of all, Mr. Chairman, let me say that I echo the remarks of the chairman of this committee. The American public, I think, would be pleased and say: Look, this is how it ought to work. Mr. Womack and I have great respect for one…

My point is we have the right to oversight. The gentleman has the right to call them to come and testify and call others to testify on whether this program works or doesn't. We haven't given up that authority of oversight, as the gentleman…

I recognize my friend and thank him once again for his courtesy on the floor. I reluctantly oppose his amendment. The United States Postal Service is a service. Every one of us knows that there are some of the facilities that serve rural…

I just wanted to lay that out there. It is not that I necessarily agree with what is being proposed by Republicans, but I do believe we should look for incremental improvements that can be executed in a 10-day or 6-week legislative…

Well thank you for that, and it does constantly amaze me how some of our colleagues are opposed to trying to collect taxes that are already due and owing.

I just understand that the way OMB is scoring this right now is handicapping those efforts and so I look forward to following up with all of you on that question.

I have a credit card in my pocket. It is a piece of plastic, and I am sure that 150 years ago or 100 years ago somebody said: Well, that plastic is not money. Nonetheless, very frankly, most of us no longer carry significant sums of money…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Kentucky will be postponed. Amendment No. 39 Offered by Mr. Bean of Florida The Acting…

I would make an observation. I understand what the gentleman is saying. The IRS says there are $688 billion. That is not chump change, not behind the sofa cushion, $688 billion. They say that if they have the resources, they can collect a…

I don't want any misinterpretation that I adopted the gentleman's premise as to the activities of the FBI. I disagree with that.

Mr. President, on this Veterans Day, I want to express my profound admiration for the unwavering service and sacrifices of our veterans. Their commitment to our Nation, its people, and the values we hold dear transcends generations…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Florida will be postponed. Amendment No. 40 Offered by Ms. Boebert The Acting CHAIR. It is…

It is so sad to hear on this floor assumptions made that have little or no basis in truth. It is so sad to hear a debate that if you are for or against something that is awful, then you are going to be against giving people who perform…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Georgia will be postponed. Amendment No. 45 Offered by Mr. Davidson The Acting CHAIR. It is…
