I wanted to quickly express my desire to make sure that MIECHV is re-funded and reauthorized.

I hope that you will work with us on historic preservation once again.

I am requesting that $3 million is included for competitive grants to historically black colleges to document the sites and stories associated with the Civil Rights Movement.

I am requesting an increase from $78.4 million to $87.4 million in the Historic Preservation Fund.

I ask that you continue to strongly support historic preservation funds and the National Park Service Construction Account.

What we need are better opportunities, more resources, a hand up, not a handout.

With all due respect, sir, I understand that it hurts you, but I'm here to tell you that the customer base and the 22,000 folks in Alabama are much more egregiously hurt than you.

It seems to me being made whole also should go to all of the bonuses that were received off of fraudulent information over the time period that has been identified.

I can assume from all your testimony repeatedly here today that the customers in my State will be made whole or made right, as you like to say.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Alabama will be postponed. The Chair understands that amendment No. 18 will not be…

Despite this mandate, there is only one non-White regional bank president and he is also the only non-White member of the FOMC.

I introduced this bill in response to the feedback I received from employers who participated in our first job fair in Birmingham, Alabama.

That is why I support this legislation to delay the enforcement of the new EPA rule until all of the legal challenges have been concluded. This is a necessary and commonsense bill. I ask my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on final passage. I…

During the votes today, I was inescapably detained and away handling important matters related to my District and the State of Alabama. If I had been present, I would have voted: YES on H.R. 4238--To Amend the Department of Energy on…

What I said was privacy, security, personal safety.

We have to balance what is the best security for the country.

If you read the statements by General--any of the encryption specialists today, we'll say that de-featuring or debilitating encryption makes our society less safe overall.

That's what makes this such a hard issue, because we're balancing two different but very similar issues: private security, the security of people who use iPhones, the location of your children, the ability to prevent your children from…

I thank the chairman for accepting my amendment. I think that all Americans win when we act in a bipartisan manner. I am really grateful for your assistance in making this legislation stronger. I want to thank the ranking member for her…

With all due respect, I think that the plain reading of the bill, the bill itself, talks about imminent and imminent threat. It doesn't necessarily deal with long- term effect. My commonsense amendment would just make sure that any rules…
