I know my time is up, but there is also an agency that is under the jurisdiction of the Committee on House Administration called the Election Assistance Commission.

This is a really good opportunity to hear the unique problems that you have on your nations, and so thank you.

In closing, this bill will impose costly litigation on employees and consumers since arbitration offers a faster, cheaper, and easier way to resolve disputes. It also freezes out Americans who can't afford expensive lawyer fees from our…

In a renewed era of great power competition, one thing we can all agree on is the need to ensure U.S. National security in the face of growing influence in the Arctic from Russia and China.

The Trump administration isn't doing anything, because they are.

As 1 of 8 countries with a geographic footprint within the Arctic circle, the region is of great National importance to the United States.

I thank Representative Lowenthal, my colleague from California, and thank my other Democratic colleagues. I think this is a commonsense amendment, and it sounds like the gentleman approves of it. Mr. Chair, I think it is common sense, and…

I hope the Committee will support my bipartisan legislation to improve access to mental healthcare for veterans in need.

It's my honor to be here today to advocate for my bipartisan bill, H.R. 1944, the VA Medical Center Transparency Act.

Simply put, under the Sgt. Brandon Ketchum Never Again Act, if a veteran asks for in-patient mental healthcare from the VA, they will get it.

In my Democrat friends' world the crisis at the border, they say, was manufactured.

In my world, what I believe is the real world, the crisis has been mounting for years.

The reason that I ask that is because from some of our briefings, hearings, I think we have been concerned about insider-type threats.

I, too, ask unanimous consent to enter into the record 3 letters expressing support for the effective and responsible use of biometrics by TSA and CBP.

I sincerely hope the Members have made their points, have made their talking points. Now let's get down to the business of doing what we are supposed to do in Congress: Pass a bill, pass the bipartisan Senate bill, but, also, let's work…

President Trump has said, I think on multiple occasions, that--he has accused Twitter of, you know, people having a hard time--being deleted from followers.

This is some really scary stuff, and I am very concerned.

We have to be very careful, my colleagues, on this.

This committee hearing is scaring the heck out of me, I have to tell you.

I am proud to sponsor an amendment that will help women veterans. My amendment would ensure that no less than $3 million under the Veterans Health Administration should be directed toward women-only inpatient clinics for mental healthcare…

It seems odd to me that a prosecutor who's supposed to either charge somebody or indict somebody does it or they don't.

It says, 'The investigation did not establish that the campaign coordinated or conspired with the Russian Government in its election-interference activities.'

I don't really understand what my Democrat colleagues think they're going to get further out of this except maybe PR against the President of the United States.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 593, line 22, strike ``That'' and all that follows through ``Provided further,'' on page 594, line 2…

I just came from Judiciary Committee. They are trying to push through a bill, the Dreamer Act bill. But unfortunately, in that bill, it has no age limits, it allows people that have crimes, it allows people that fraudulently fill out their…
