My constituency is--every time I mention that, they are baffled by it.

A study was done and released just a couple of weeks ago.

I think we should have a recorded vote on every bill, every amendment.

I think it is our responsibility to let the American people know what you are voting for and who is voting for it.

I negotiated it with the Democrats. And so when that bill passed, it was the substance of my bill.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question are postponed. Amendment No…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. It is good to be here. I am glad my friend is raising awareness. I am going to go as quickly as I possibly can because I don't know how much time I am going to take up. But let's talk about fentanyl for…

So I guess my question for you, Mr. Joffe, is this. How many states went from being at budget balance or from a small surplus to having an even bigger surplus through the bailout to states in this bill?

I thank the gentleman from Ohio for yielding time to me. I am grateful that we are going to be voting today on this version of this bill. I think it is a much-improved version as opposed to the one that came out of committee. I am grateful…

Which is another way of saying you got inflation.

And nobody here today has mentioned what inflation does to fixed income families and households. It is devastating to fixed income families and households, of which many are in my district.

I am disappointed that there has been some misinformation coming from the Democrats in this hearing today as we start considering inflation.

During the campaign, Joe Biden promised repeatedly to 'follow the science,' but apparently, the science changes when his polling changes.

They tried to deem them as domestic terrorists for going to school board meetings and expressing their views.

The more we talk about the threat of COVID and onerously restricting people's lives because of it, the more we turn them against us and show them we're out of touch with their daily realities.

I thought it was an inflammatory statement that somebody made saying that Republicans are trying to hijack this Committee hearing.

The world is watching, the Ayatollah is watching, the Chinese president is watching, North Korea is watching.

Weakness shows a threat to Israel, to Taiwan, and South Korea.

I don't think Putin can be met with weakness.

That is not Congress' job. That is not our role to make sure that people live up to statements they make publicly.

The constant assault on the oil and gas industry has been led by this administration and his allies in Congress.

This hearing is another example of Democrats attacking American workers and the private sector to further their socialist agenda.

The Green New Deal would radically alter America's economy and do little to fight climate change.

I think it is critical that--not just within the prison system, but I think generically we understood early on who were the most vulnerable and who are at most high risk particularly in congregate settings.

I feel like we have received important information already today and I appreciate your testimony.
