The many international legal, economic, scientific, and security challenges facing the Arctic present a complex set of issues that require close interagency collaboration.

In this whole partisan culture that is going on, I welcome bipartisan agreement on an issue.

The United States must work to protect its interests in international norms surrounding freedom of navigation.

I am pleased to see the subcommittee meeting today to gain additional perspectives on this important topic facing U.S. National security.

Classifying the fentanyl class as Schedule 1 controlled substance is a strong deterrent to criminals that should be maintained.

If the current scheduling of the fentanyl class is allowed to expire, the United States risks opening itself up to a flood of new fentanyl analogues.

I think the American public would think it is really ridiculous to grant a minority hearing date after we vote on the Articles of Impeachment.

Again, has there been any proof of that, Mr. Collins?

I believe, does because it proves to me that it was predetermined that you are going to impeach a President of the United States and you are just searching around for anything or anything to impeach him on.

In closing, H.R. 4 is totally partisan, without one Republican cosponsor; and H. Res. 326, another totally partisan bill, ties the Trump administration's hands and embarrasses Israel. Madam Speaker, I urge ``no'' on the previous question…

If we defeat the previous question, I will bring to the floor H.R. 2207, the Protect Medical Innovation Act of 2019, which most people know as the bill that will eliminate the medical device tax. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to…

This provision also asked TSA to eliminate duplicative programs and reduce the number of senior executive service personnel by as much as 20 percent.

I am worried that people aren't going to get these things in time.

I am pleased that the subcommittee is meeting today to oversee implementation of last year's bipartisan reauthorization of the Transportation Security Administration, the TSA Modernization Act.

Importantly, this legislation marks the first-ever reauthorization of TSA since the agency was created in 2001 following the terror attacks of September 11.

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 Arizona will be postponed. Amendment No. 3 Offered by Mr. Lynch The Acting CHAIR. It is…
