I have got an A-10 question that only demands just a brief answer.

My compliments to the Secretary and to the Chief for their great work.

I understand that only half of the DoD's annual $10B freight spend is processed through this program.

We have to know up here, as we pivot to new threats, emerging threats, we have to know up here where we are weak in our ability to respond.

My last comment would be this, and if you want to respond to it, fine.

The critical habitat designation for rabbitsfoot mussels and neosho muckets will affect nearly half of my State's surface area and, simply put, jeopardizes the livelihood of Arkansans.

I want to personally thank you for holding a hearing on the impact these ESA designations could have on Arkansans and citizens across America.

Chairman Young, as you know, spent five decades of his life in this Chamber fighting for a better America...

Reclaiming my time, I thank the gentleman from Kentucky for his further clarification of the intent going forward beyond this. I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Frelinghuysen). The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from…

Reclaiming my time, I don't want to put words in the mouth of the author of the amendment, but I would yield to the gentleman from Kentucky to further clarify, as I understand it, his willingness to make sure that we make the appropriate…

I claim time in opposition. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Arkansas is recognized for 10 minutes.

In reclaiming my time, Mr. Chairman, I would just simply say that we have the list. On the list are, certainly, items that would go to the very core of the capability of the Afghan National Security Forces in order for them to be able to…

So I'm assuming that the gentleman would admit that the President is wrong in this case as well.

First of all, we have the list. I recognize that the gentleman has argued that, while there may be something printed on the list, on paper, of ``how would we know that it's actually going to go for those purposes?'' I get that, but let me…

May I inquire as to how much time I have remaining. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Arkansas has 3 minutes remaining.

I claim the time in opposition, Mr. Chairman. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Arkansas is recognized for 5 minutes.

I am strongly opposed to the amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Cohen). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced…

Objection. The Acting CHAIR. Objection is heard. The gentleman from Tennessee is recognized. {time} 1945

We have no speakers, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendments en bloc offered by the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Young). The en bloc amendments were agreed to. Amendment No. 28 Offered by…

My experience has been that those are very effective alternatives to the type of jurisprudence that we see in our traditional court system.

One of the key advantages which is helping, as I was remarking to Congressman Womack, to drive our time is this new technology that allows our case management systems to talk.

It is really more of a talking point to divert attention away from the real problems facing our country.

Amendment XIV: Section 1: ``All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which…

These retailers in my district and retailers across America are crying out for help to eliminate the loophole that chases more and more discriminate shoppers away from Main Street and to the Internet.

Mr. Chairman, in short, the Quill decision explicitly says that only Congress can remedy this terrible disparity, and it is my strong belief that Congress should intercede.
