The Public Record
ensuring health care, including physical therapy services, is available to those who need it most is vital to our Nation. I support the Sestak amendment to H.R. 4137, The College Opportunity and Affordability Act, which would add physical…
first, I would encourage everyone to remember our men and women in uniform and their families and reach out to them. The Arkansas delegation rises this morning to pay tribute to a man that has made magnificent contributions to the State of…
I can't say enough good things about the wonderful work he has done as chairman of this committee. He can be forever proud of the way he has brought the real bill together. It is an interesting thing that the people that have risen in…
I can tell you one thing for certain, my distinguished colleagues across the aisle, while well meaning, absolutely don't know turnip greens from butter beans about what they are talking about. They have claimed to be concerned about our…
Mr. Speaker, as I hear this discussion today, it is a heartbreaking thing to see this body completely engaged in partisan politics because it does not matter to the American people when they cannot afford their medicine, when they cannot…
I encourage everyone to keep in their hearts and minds and certainly in your prayers our men and women in uniform and those on the battlefield this morning. Mr. Speaker, it is time, it is time for a new direction. It is time for health…
as millions of Americans struggle to get by making the lowest real value minimum wage in 50 years, Republicans in this body are preparing to adjourn the House for a 5-week summer vacation without providing them with any financial relief…
first of all, I would ask that everyone remember our men and women in uniform and keep them in your hearts and minds and certainly in your prayers, especially those on the battlefield today. Today, the Republican Congress is going to…
do I have any time left? The Acting CHAIRMAN. The gentleman from Arkansas has 2 minutes remaining.
I think it is fitting and proper that we are here today to proceed with naming a post office in Jonesboro, Arkansas, for Senator Hattie Caraway. She obviously was the first to do a lot of things. She was the first woman ever elected to the…
I do believe that the Blue Dogs were referred to. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. LaHood). The Chair advises all Members that they should address their remarks to the Chair.
as I do proceed, let me continue to tell you, if you cannot take it, go home. Do not do this to our children and grandchildren. You cannot take it, you are not man enough to pass these rules and pass these laws and build this dam on our…
I rise today to support the FY06 Energy and Water Appropriations Bill. Chairman Hobson, Ranking Member Visclosky, and their staffs have worked tirelessly to produce a good bill and they deserve much praise for their efforts. This bill goes…
I love coming down here and listening to these whiz bangs on the other side talk about their fiscal responsibility and all of this foolishness that they have put forth to the American people. It makes me want a dip of snuff. It is almost…
we are going to be back here this week and try to convince the American people that we are trying to help them with their health care costs by passing yet again a medical malpractice insurance relief act. The really sad thing about this is…
Chief Warrant Officer Matthew C. Laskowski. 1. Chief Warrant Officer Stephen M. Wells 2. Specialist Michael R. Woodliff 3. Petty Officer Second Class Michael J. Gray 4. Captain Gussie M. Jones 5. Private First Class Matthew G. Milczark 6…
when this President was reelected, he announced proudly that he had political capital and he intended to spend it. He intended to replace Social Security. All of his proposals provide that we would replace Social Security with something…
it is most appropriate that this amendment will be accepted because it will give the Department of Agriculture their rightful place at the table in representing agriculture in this country in the protection of our homeland. Mr. Chairman, I…
when I came here in 1997, we passed the first balanced Budget Act in 30 years. That was a result of the work of a lot of people. I do not take credit for making that happen. But then after having a balanced budget and running a surplus…
I cannot think of a more disturbing situation than we face today. I hear my colleagues on the other side of the aisle talk about this great prosperity that we are enjoying. We all know that is not true. We all know that the average family…
I remember in 1995 when the leadership on the other side of the aisle stood before this House and talked about how they wanted to see Medicare and Social Security wither on the vine. It is a matter of public record. It is not speculation…
I find this debate we are having this evening most amazing. I was eating breakfast Monday morning with a dear friend of mine. He is a farmer and lives on the bank of the St. Francis River in Clay County, Arkansas. He is full of wisdom. He…
I come here night after night, and I see these Howdy Doody neo-cons come to the well and present this ridiculous idea that everything is all right, everything is wonderful. All we need to do is just keep cutting taxes and borrowing money…
I cannot believe the discussion I have heard on homeland security funding. Anybody watching this debate would have to conclude that the integrity and the honor and what America stands for throughout the world and throughout history is all…
