I guess that's the fundamental challenge. I don't want to live in his world. And I don't want the people of the United States to have to live in his world. That's the fundamental difference in the approach that's dealing with this health…

Madam Speaker, we have no additional speakers, but I will continue to reserve the balance of my time, unless you're prepared to close.

Sunday, Bloody Sunday. Can't wait. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

Madam Speaker, one of the things we are going to have to be careful with this health care debate is trading votes for jobs. Let's keep an eye on Mr. Gordon, where it was reported that he was promised the job of NASA administrator in…

Madam Speaker, I will continue to reserve the balance of my time as we have no further requests for time.

Mr. Speaker, I do think we should go back and review history. The reality of this bill is the fact that it spends nearly $1 trillion, and the reason you can try to say that it's deficit-neutral or reduces the deficit is because it raises…

As I said, it's something that we should be aware of. It's something that we should pay attention to. I think that's fair. We'll pay attention to it. I appreciate your comments and the direction that you're going. You've had a great and…

Mr. Speaker, I rise to claim the time in opposition to the amendment. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Utah is recognized for 10 minutes.

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. America gets it, what is happening with this health care bill. America gets it. They understand. The Peoria-based Caterpillar just announcing that in the first year alone they believe…

I think it's important that we pay attention to those types of things. This is no doubt an emotional, deep debate.

Yes, in its current form. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Chaffetz moves to recommit the bill H.R. 3644 to the Committee on Natural Resources with instructions to report…

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this Congress has to get control of spending. We're $12 trillion in debt. We're spending more than $600 million a day just in interest on our debt. At some point, some way, we're going to have to curb…

Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 and clause 9 of rule XX, this 15-minute vote on the motion to recommit will be followed by 5-minute votes on passage of H.R…

Mr. President, I wish to discuss the jobs legislation, known as the HIRE Act, on which the Senate will be voting tomorrow morning, and to express my deep concerns with the direction this bill has taken over the past few weeks. Ever since…

Madam Speaker, it is very difficult to criticize a bill that is still being put together behind closed doors. But we do know that it is more about consolidation of power in Washington than about real health reform for the American people…

Mr. Speaker, you know, we, as Americans, have a responsibility to protect our environment and to protect our homeland, and unfortunately we are failing at both. Our border patrol has done a wonderful job in the urban areas of this country…

Mr. President, Senator Frist cogently argues that using reconciliation for this health care legislation would be a historic and dangerous mistake. There is still time to turn back from this path. There is still time to do what nearly…

Mr. President, I rise, joined by my friend, the distinguished Senator from South Dakota and chairman of the Senate Republican Policy Committee, to discuss the health care legislation being considered in Congress. The current debate is…
