I thank the gentlewoman from San Jose for yielding to me. Mr. Speaker, I am really humbled to have a chance just to say a few words about George Miller and Henry Waxman. As a new Member, I have had the wonderful experience of spending my…

I inadvertently voted on rollcall 509, H.J. Res. 124. I intended to vote ``yes'' on rollcall 509, H.J. Res. 124. ____________________

I am concerned about working families, and I will be talking about the minimum wage. I just want to preface that it was an honor to listen to Congressman Rangel really talk about what is probably the most important issue before us in terms…

Absolutely would I sign a discharge petition, one of the most important things that we can do.

All we are asking for is a right to vote. I still remember when the President came, in his State of the Union speech, and it was really just after--in my first year here in the Congress and he was talking about the horrible episode that…

With that, I yield back the balance of my time also. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Alaska (Mr. Young) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 4527. The question was…

I just also want to thank Representative Kilmer for bringing forth this very important bill. Hopefully, this will be another step towards closure in this very--as Representative Young mentioned, this tremendous injustice that occurred in…

The town of Tremont, Maine, was granted a parcel of Federal land to build a school in 1950. The town, which is adjacent to Acadia National Park, no longer needs the parcel for school purposes and would like to be able to consider other…
