Legislation

Now, the farm bill is the best opportunity that exists to course-correct.

The newest version of this bill would once again violate the principles of home rule for the residents of the District of Columbia.

May I ask for a recorded vote, Mr. Chair?

It saddens me that this Committee has chosen to pursue legislation that will suppress get out the vote efforts.

I fully support this bill and hope we will ensure passage.

I appreciate the willingness to work together. I feel like removing section 5 would undermine our efforts to find adequate funding, but--so I would prefer to leave it in.

I thank Mike Garcia of California for sponsoring this legislation, which is a component to the bill of the American Confidence in Elections Act.

I am so glad we are addressing it legislatively here today.

Chairman Smith, I hope that the members who were listening will apply all of the comments I made before my amendment was read to my amendment.

I am grateful to my many colleagues who have co-sponsored this legislation.

This legislation would criminalize the taxes, registration fees, and customs duties that humanitarian organizations operating in Houthi-controlled areas are required to pay.

We must correct the grave missteps of the Biden Administration. And that is why I am proud to be an original cosponsor of H.R. 6046, and why I am asking my colleagues to support this legislation.

I applaud Representative Clyde from Georgia for authorizing this important piece of legislation.

Let me just say again I appreciate Mr. Moran's work with Mr. Meeks on the ANS and I urge my colleagues to support the ANS.

I would like to call for the yeas and nays.

This legislation seeks to highlight the problem that exists about religious freedom, and Christianity in particular.

I support this measure and appreciate Chairman McCaul and Representative James for working with Ranking Member Meeks on this bill.

In light of these concerns, I must oppose this bill and I encourage other members to do so as well.
