I rise in opposition to Mr. Barton's amendment. I believe that it will perpetuate a system of winners and losers in the allocation of Federal resources for AIDS. When Congress reauthorized the Ryan White AIDS program last year, we included…

I believe that this is a small but very important investment, and it will make vehicles more fuel efficient. I think this is not only a value of the people of my congressional district but of the entire Nation. Our country today is paying…

Now, we are hearing a lot from the other side, not enough money, not enough money, not enough money. When did you make any amendments to increase anything in this authorization, with the exception of an earmark with three States specified…

let me just close out this very important debate, and it is important to have a debate. It's very important to have a debate. In listening to it, I see two things: one, a rearview mirror, looking to the past, people that are sincere, but…

I rise in support of H.R. 2082. First, I want to make a comment about a requirement that is in the bill that has been made fun of, made fun of by our friends on the other side of the aisle, and that is that the bill requires a National…

I think that's the case today as we gather to support the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, known as GINA. Many times over the course of American history in this Chamber, discrimination has been struck down. I believe that is what…

Today we are living up to the promise we made at the beginning of the new Congress to bring discipline to the federal budget. By passing this Resolution, we will take an important step toward balancing our nation's budget, begin generating…

our country has just begun the fifth year of war in Iraq. By overwhelming numbers, the American people want a new direction and I believe this bill contains the policy and the plan to help bring an end to the misguided policies of the…

It has been a long and painful 4-year journey for the people of our country since this administration acted preemptively and unilaterally to invade and occupy Iraq, policies which I believe then and I still believe today would not and…

I think what is important to understand in this debate is that there are significant technical obstacles that have to be addressed before biofuels can be widely deployed. Many Members this morning during this important debate have spoken…

I strongly support the use of biofuels to diversify our fuel supply and to reduce our dependence on imported oil.

I think it needs to be very, very clear to all the Members of the House who are going to cast a vote on this to understand what the underlying bill seeks to do. It is an infrastructure bill. It is not a combustion bill. It is an…

I am proud to support it, and I think that this is a very important moment for the Congress. Why? Because this bill really represents hope for the American people. I often say to my constituents that I am in the business of hope, to give…

I thank the chairman, and I encourage my colleagues to help promote full communications interoperability by supporting the bill before us.

I wish we were debating final passage on a much better bill. Sadly, this bill gives the administration what it wants: a blank check to conduct domestic surveillance without a warrant. ... The American people want us to protect them, but…

when Congress passed the Ryan White CARE Act in 1990, we sent hope to millions of Americans who were living under a death sentence that came with a diagnosis of HIV or AIDS. In large part because of Ryan White, outcomes have dramatically…

Mr. Speaker, I am really proud to be the Democratic sponsor of this bill; and I want to salute my friend and my colleague, Representative Rogers, for the work that he has done. We have really enjoyed working together, and I think that the…

today we join together to honor the nearly 3,000 people who perished in the heinous attach on our country five years ago. The images of that day remain vivid in our minds, as do the emotions we all felt--the shock the grief--as we realized…

I thank our distinguished member of the Rules Committee. Mr. Speaker, I rise this morning in opposition to the rule and in opposition to the bill, and I want to state very clearly why. I believe that this bill is deeply deficient. And I am…

I support S. 3504 because I think it is essential to have the strictest of guidelines that reflect our Nation's values regarding the creation and responsible treatment of human embryos. Having said this, if we pass this bill without also…

I thank my colleague, Mr. Rogers from the Energy and Commerce Committee, for the work he has done on this bill. I am proud to be the Democratic lead on it. I think it is a very important step for the Congress to take. Obviously, I urge all…

once again, we have before us legislation to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to drilling. My question is: What problem are we trying to solve? If this is an attempt to lower gas prices, then this bill won't do the job…

I am very pleased to welcome a special group to the Capitol this morning. It is the season where so many students come to Washington to see their government in action and to visit the historic sites in Washington. This week the students of…

on rollcall No. 102, I inadvertently cast a ``yea'' vote when I intended to cast a ``nay'' vote. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Rehberg). The question is on the resolution. The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that…

I rise in opposition to S. 2271. This bill makes a few cosmetic changes, but the changes do little to address the serious civil liberties concerns that I and countless Americans have raised during the debate over the reauthorization of the…
