I thank the gentleman from California, and I rise in strong support of this resolution. I want our colleagues to hear what's been going on here on the House floor. At a time when Congress has been derided as not being able to get its act…

Mr. President, today I wish to honor National School Nurse Day. Today we recognize the contributions that school nurses make every day to improve the health and learning outcomes of our Nation's children, especially as our children face…

Mr. President, we are still here. We have not gotten much of a response from our colleagues on the other side of the aisle about our legislation that would help students throughout America pay their tuition costs and pay a reasonable…

I submit the following materials in support of H.R. 2072, the Export-Import Bank Reauthorization Act, as amended. May 4, 2012. To Members of the United States Congress: We are writing to urge your support for reauthorization of the…

I thank my great friend and colleague from the great State of New York for yielding me time and for her leadership on so many important areas before this Congress. I rise in strong support of the Export-Import Bank Reauthorization Act. I…

Yesterday I had the golden opportunity to travel with our President to the capital region of upstate New York to visit our nanotechnology center. This campus is poised for tremendous growth as we witness an investment in public and private…

I don't think the issue here should be looked at as whether or not the EDA needs more help. It's why, again, we are bashing the Census Bureau. I really think that it's surprising that we would do it on this side, since we will note for the…

On rollcall Nos. 199, 200, and 201, I was absent. I had travelled to the 21st Cong. Dist. in New York with the President for his visit. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on No. 199, ``nay'' on No. 200, and ``yes'' on No. 201…

I thank the gentleman for the time. First of all, I'd like to congratulate Chairman Wolf and Ranking Member Fattah for their work, but especially for their continued desire to work together, to work in a bipartisan fashion to bring about…

I would like to echo the comments made by the ranking member, Mr. Fattah. I remember the days I worked very closely with Chairman Wolf, and at that time also with the Subcommittee Chairman Rogers, as their ranking member, and it was always…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Page 6, line 18, after the dollar amount, insert ``(increased by $5,311,000)''. Page 11, line 11, after the dollar amount…

Is the gentleman aware that, if the equipment is not ready, then under the law it is not readily achievable and that it doesn't have to be done at that point and that the DOJ has already met with the industry and has told them this?

I, too, rise in opposition to this amendment. We have had amendments and even bills on the floor in the past that were just as misguided, and they all take the same form or a similar form: either an amendment to say that no fund shall be…

Madam President, I am speaking today on the need to Stop the Student Loan Interest Rate Hike Act of 2012. It is obvious how hard it is to pay for college these days. It is not just hard for poor people--and we have some programs that help…

Well, once again, the Republican leadership has shown that it's more interested in playing political games than it is in getting things done. We're talking about student loans here. We should be putting our heads together and coming up…

I thank the gentlelady for yielding. Today, the House passed H.R. 4628, the Interest Rate Reduction Act, or, as I like to refer to it, the ``take from the poor--give to the poor not in our interest act.'' This Republican-led bill will…

Today, the House of Representatives missed an opportunity to do right by millions of American students. This was an opportunity for us all to come together in a bipartisan way and ensure that college students would not see their student…

Mr. President, building a family is an exciting milestone in the lives of millions of American families. Unfortunately, the road towards conceiving a child is often difficult and painful for the nearly 7 million Americans diagnosed with…
