It is written in Philippians 4:6: Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. As this body debates important issues, it is critical we begin with…

My colleague from Colorado raised an important question: What are the Republicans trying to accomplish here? It is pretty simple. We are trying to give freedom and choice back to the American people who lost their freedom and choice and…

I certainly agree with my colleague from Colorado that we should avoid silly partisanship, and I hope that that means we won't see silly partisan procedural motions and points of order between now and the end of the week. We have seen…

From what I saw in the CBO score of the bill, the AHCA bill actually reduces government spending, reduces taxes, and reduces health insurance premiums over the window of the CBO score. {time} 1430 So it does the exact opposite of what the…

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 210 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 210 Resolved, That upon adoption of this resolution it shall be in order to…

All of those groups I just mentioned support the repeal of this regulation that would come about by virtue of the bill that is before us. Why? Because we have a right to expect in this country that these regulatory agencies that Congress…

What it says is that this regulation does nothing to enhance workplace safety. That is from the American Society of Safety Engineers. Also opposing this regulation is the Coalition for Workplace Safety. I include in the Record a letter…

To the point, there is nothing in this statute that allows for continuing violations, and there is nothing in this regulation that provides for workplace safety. This is a power grab by an agency in violation of its authorizing statute and…

Fortunately, we have a new administration that understands how misguided regulations often hurt the very individuals they're intended to help.

We're going to make America great again, but we're not going to make America great again if we don't make the lives of the hardworking people of America great again.

I can tell you that small businesses in my district are breathing a sigh of relief that this fundamentally flawed rule was blocked by a Federal judge.

We cannot accept this as the new normal. The American people have clearly spoken, and they expect their leaders in Washington to put the country on a better path and finally get the economy moving again.

I believe the vote last fall was an urgent plea from them: Please help us.

I appreciate the gentleman from Massachusetts' remarks. We are not here today to talk about Russia, but I do remember about a month ago when we were on this floor counting electoral college votes, my colleague from Massachusetts objected…

House Resolution 116 provides for consideration of two joint resolutions designed to protect working families by blocking harmful regulations through the Congressional Review Act process. In 1974, Congress passed and President Gerald Ford…

I agree with my colleague from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern) that this is, indeed, serious business. Looking out for the workers of America is perhaps the most serious business that we do. We have heard a lot of speechifying about trying to…

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, when I was a young lawyer, an old lawyer one time gave me a piece of advice that I was fortunate to never have to follow. He said: Son, when you are strong on the facts, pound on the…

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 116 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 116 Resolved, That upon adoption of this resolution it shall be in order to…

House Resolution 91 provides for consideration of three separate joint resolutions intended to address government overreach by using the Congressional Review Act process. The first measure deals with the Bureau of Land Management's…

I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, the gentleman talks about regular order. This particular regulation from the Bureau of Land Management was enacted very quickly and hurriedly without input from State and county…

I appreciate the chairwoman for yielding, and for her leadership on our committee. I rise today to offer my strong support for H.J. Res. 37. This legislation is about protecting our Nation's workers, small businesses, and taxpayers. As a…

We can't afford it.

I really do worry about what's going to happen to all these employees in America that work for small businesses.

I support this legislation in order to ensure General James Mattis can become the next United States Secretary of Defense. It is critically important to our military men and women as well as to the safety and security of the American…
