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 304, beginning on line 3, strike section 1844.

These cuts pose real threats and force to Social Security Administration and senior benefits. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from New York will confine his remarks to the point of order.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I offer this amendment because I am seriously concerned about the effect of the irresponsible Republican spending bill on our Nation's seniors and most specifically on our Social Security system. If my amendment…

You know, if you stay around here long enough, you see very interesting things happen. As I look at my friend--and when I say ``my friend,'' I really mean that, Mr. Wolf, and I think of the chairman of the full committee, Mr. Rogers, I am…

I offer this amendment to section 1434 of the Republican spending bill. The section includes language that bans funds allocated to energy efficiency and renewable energy from being used for the weatherization assistance program or the…

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 216, line 23, through page 217, line 4, strike ``: Provided,'' and all that follows through ``et…

While I support the Flake amendment, I oppose the underlying continuing resolution. The Republicans are here today offering another piece of their ``no jobs'' agenda, and they are in disarray and are hastily pushing an irresponsible and…

The last thing I want to do is prolong this debate this evening. It is getting late. But I think what is happening with these budget cuts, under the disguise of budget cuts, is that we are discussing some very serious issues, and at times…

The continuing resolution that we are voting on today is irresponsible and extreme. We all recognize that we should take reasonable steps to address our deficit. However, what we are voting on today makes cuts that will harm our students…

Thank you, Mr. President. First I wish to congratulate my good friend and hunting buddy, the Senator from Nebraska, for the great work he has done. It has been a pleasure to work with him. We have had parallel interests and his amendment…

I thank the gentleman, our distinguished chair. It's been a pleasure working with you. And I just want to say to the current chair of our committee, we've always worked in a bipartisan way, and that's why I reluctantly rise in opposition…

I thank the gentlelady for yielding and for her leadership, and I join her and my other colleagues in speaking out in strong protest to the projected cuts that they are pushing through the Securities Exchange Commission, the watchdog…

I thank the gentlelady from California. You know, I have been listening to the debate in my office, et cetera, and I agree with my colleague Mel Watt. Sometimes we get confused, I think. Maybe if we can just break this down to the common…

I thank the gentleman for yielding to me and for leading on so many important issues for the safety of our country and world peace. I rise in strong opposition to this legislation which would, I believe, make New York City more vulnerable…

I thank you for the time, and I congratulate you for continuing to be the Representative that you are for the District of Columbia. Let me, in the short time that I have, be very brief and to the point. This may be one of the least-known…
