I was listening to the gentlewoman talk and I don't know that she has read my amendment, because my amendment actually solves the problem that she poses. There are some circuits that have given opinions just exactly as she said. What my…

I thank my colleague for yielding. I believe all my colleagues can agree that women deserve equal pay for equal work. However, the bill considered today takes the wrong approach to ensure that current equal protections, protections that…

I have great respect for the gentlewoman. I don't think she understands what that language actually means, how it has actually been interpreted by the courts, and how it may be totally misinterpreted against plaintiffs in these types of…

I want to go on record strongly supporting protections for workers in this industry in regard to workplace violence.

Protecting the safety of health care and social service workers is not a partisan issue.

Their dedication to caring for the most vulnerable members of our communities is extraordinary.

I would prefer that this committee hold oversight hearings to allow committee members to hear directly from individuals and experts so that we can formulate the best course of action to keep our caregivers safe.

The Paycheck Fairness Act would be a cash cow for lawyers.

The Paycheck Fairness Act is not designed to protect women it is a false promise.

If we open the gates to limitless frivolous lawsuits, we do a disservice to genuine victims.

The legislation under discussion today offers no new protections against pay discrimination.

I want something that is really going to help women, not something that is really going help lawyers.

Women deserve equal pay for equal work.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I want to add my support to this rule. When did protecting the American people--knowing who is entering our country and having a secure border--become some kind of radical or partisan idea…

I am pleased the gentleman's amendments were included in the bill, and I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, how much time is remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Massachusetts has 1 minute…

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 1027 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 1027 Resolved, That upon adoption of this resolution it shall be in order…

I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Eshoo).

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, we have a skills crisis in our country. We actually have more job openings than we have unemployed Americans. This is keeping our economy from reaching full potential. So how do we solve…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of division A (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

Let's not let petty political games get in the way of funding our Nation's military, protecting our servicemembers, and ensuring the safety and security of the American people. Let's pass this resolution and demonstrate our strong…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H. Res. 995. As many of us have stood on this floor and said, We have planes that can't fly, ships that can't sail, and troops that can't deploy. Under the Obama…

House Resolution 965 provides for consideration of H.R. 200, the Strengthening Fishing Communities and Increasing Flexibility in Fisheries Management Act. This structured rule makes in order 11 amendments, including 4 minority and 2…

The gentleman referenced a letter from the Seafood Harvesters of America. In their letter dated June 21 of 2018, this group claims that section 12 of the bill repeals a section of the MSA. There hasn't been a section 12 in this bill since…

We are here today to talk about the fisheries of America. If the folks on the other side of the aisle want to address the issue that they just referenced, then I am sure they could foreswear taking any corporate contributions, any…

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 965 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 965 Resolved, That at any time after adoption of this resolution the Speaker…
