Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time. Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Roy).

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, this is a great debate. It is nice to have the discussion, but we are here to consider a specific piece of legislation. This keeps the government open. What my friends…

Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Jordan), my very good friend and distinguished chairman of the Judiciary Committee.

Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished gentleman from New York (Mr. Lawler), my good friend.

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, we have had a lot of talk about what is not in this bill. Maybe we ought to talk a little bit about what is in this bill. It keeps the government open, which my friends…

I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The objection is heard. The Senator from Wyoming. ____________________

Mr. Speaker, I thank Congressman Weber for the opportunity to participate in this important discussion this evening. I can't think of a person who I have interacted with for the last 22 years that I have enjoyed any more than Dr. Burgess…

Mr. Speaker, this bill undermines that verbal promise. Constitutionally sound agreements to the Federal Government must be adhered to. I think we should all agree to that. Nations fall apart when people walk back commitments to one…

Mr. Speaker, just because CBO this time around didn't score it, doesn't mean it doesn't have a cost. It just means they didn't score it. The score from it 2 years ago was three-quarters of a billion dollars.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition to the Lumbee Fairness Act because of the three-quarters of a billion dollars that is unpaid for in cost and how it undermines Tribal designation based on merit, a 100-year history where merit drives…

Mr. Speaker, if a Tribe cannot prove the necessary documentation to receive Federal recognition, they should not receive it by Congress' action. If the Lumbee have a historical record of being a formal Tribe, if they have evidence of…

Mr. Speaker, this will lead to a vast and irresponsible increase in Federal spending. I would like to respectfully refute the claim that this does not increase spending. Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record the CBO report from the 117th…

Mr. Speaker, I rise today with great honor and pride to the legacy of the remarkable Oklahoma Senator James Mountain Inhofe and to support S. 5314, a bill sponsored by my colleague Senator Lankford to name the new VA medical center in…

Mr. Speaker, I rise today regarding correspondence from a young constituent of mine, Lauren Tappert, who expressed her desire to make a Federal holiday in recognition of World War II. I was impressed by Lauren's patriotism and her…

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate my incredible Marine Corps Fellow, Major Suzanne Mulet, for her tremendous work this past year in my office. Suzanne has been instrumental in helping prepare for defense events and legislation…

Mr. Speaker, I vote in favor of S. 4199, the Judicial Understaffing Delays Getting Emergencies Solved Act of 2024, to allow for the creation of additional judgeships in under resourced district courts across the country. However, this is…

Thank you very much. First of all, thank you, Barbara, and to the former Members for honoring me. It is truly an incredible honor for me to receive this. I think it would be wise for me to share with all of you how I got here because it is…

It is true, Mr. Upton. It is better than the House Committee on Ethics. For those Members that have been around for a while, I tell you that to say that I was in for a challenge. As the Members know, being on four committees is not an easy…
