I thank the distinguished gentleman from New Orleans for his eloquent words about Dr. Lombard. May I add, not only was he a hero to the people of New Orleans and Louisiana, but he was also a nationally recognized civil rights advocate who…

I thank the distinguished gentleman from Illinois for his remarks about the naming of this post office, and I strongly encourage all of our colleagues to endorse this significant legislation. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my…

As ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, I rise in strong support of H.R. 4502, the Modernizing the Acquisition of Cybersecurity Experts Act. I thank my distinguished colleagues, Representative Nancy Mace…

I thank the distinguished gentlewoman from California for her introduction of this legislation with Congresswoman Mace and for her leadership here. The gentlewoman is absolutely right that there are people who may have gotten a college…
