I missed the following votes due to travel with the President related to the Gateway Train Tunnel project. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 95 and ``nay'' on rollcall No. 96. ____________________

Again, I know that the previous speaker is a physician, and I respect her, but I have to continue to point out that this idea that vaccines don't help prevent infection from the disease is factually incorrect. I mentioned before various…

First of all, I think the gentlewoman's previous amendment was about the policies of the President being political. And I think this amendment is more political than anything. First of all, as we know, what the underlying bill does is it…

I insist on my point of order. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman will state his point of order.

The amendment meets the germaneness requirement of clause 7 of rule XVI. The amendment is germane because the amendment does not introduce a new subject of the text proposed to be amended. The subject of the introduced bill is applying…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 2, strike lines 1 through 3 and insert the following: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; TABLE OF CONTENTS. (a)…

I know we are closing the debate now on the underlying bill, but I will say one more time, we have been at this 2 days now. We have had a lot of amendments. I certainly appreciate the fact that we have had an open rule and that Members on…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from North Carolina will be postponed. Amendment No. 147 Offered by Ms. Greene of Georgia

I listened to the gentlewoman from Georgia, and to me, this amendment is unbelievable. I mean, she says that you can't draw down or sell petroleum products under this amendment for political and nonemergency purposes. Well, I mean…

The pending amendment violates the germaneness requirement of rule XVI, clause 7. That rule precludes amendments ``on a subject different from that under consideration.'' The subject matter of the underlying bill is a requirement that the…

I reserve a point of order. The Acting CHAIR. A point of order is reserved. The gentlewoman is recognized for 5 minutes.

Again, I don't know how to characterize this but to say it is extreme. The gentlewoman's amendment would provide an even bigger handout to Big Oil, trading away our precious Federal lands. Now, just so we understand, right now, there is a…

I think it is important that we articulate what is our definition of victory and what is the blueprint for victory.

I claim time in opposition to the amendment. The ACTING CHAIR. The gentleman from New Jersey is recognized for 5 minutes.

this is a crisis being caused by Putin's war of choice, war of aggression.

This is not just a Ukrainian issue. This is very much, as I think my senior senator and chairman said, an issue that all Americans should be concerned with.

If we do not face this Russian aggression here, we will see the crisis expand in ways that threaten the world order and stability that we have fought and invested in generations to establish not just in Europe, but globally.

I disagree with my colleague from Texas' characterization of this Administration. I think no one has been more insightful, decisive, and helpful to the Ukrainians than the Biden administration.
