I appreciate the gentleman from Florida's comments. It is amazing some of the things we're hearing and the examples, simply by putting it out there. I want to extend an invitation to our freshman class and others who may want to join us in…

I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days within which to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous materials on the subject of my Special Order. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the…

Mr. Speaker, I rise in another of a series of Republican freshman class Special Orders, this time to focus on our Nation's need for regulatory reform and regulatory relief. As an American and a parent, I value the role of responsible…

I thank the gentleman from Indiana. I think you bring up a great point, and that's the issue of an unelected bureaucracy that is forcing sometimes businesses who just want to create, want to expand, and want to do those things. I…

I ran a company for 20 years, and a healthy workforce that was ready, willing, and able to go to work every single day made a big difference. A lot of times when we think of CDC, we think of outbreaks in Africa, we think of ebola, and we…

I appreciate the focus on that. My friend from Ohio is exactly correct. Antimicrobial resistance is a serious threat to our Nation's health. Many bacteria become resistant to multiple classes of antibiotics. I might add a personal note at…

This is vital information. This is an important bill.

Let me assure you, Mr. Calhoun, we desperately need H.R. 1077.

Mr. President, I rise today to commemorate the life and legacy of Congressman John Robert Lewis of Georgia, and recognize the 50th anniversary of his chairmanship of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. John Lewis grew up during…
