I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, in closing, this bill is going to pass, and it's going to pass likely on a bipartisan basis because it would be the ultimate in inappropriate behavior by this body to allow our pay to…
I'd like to be speaking for this bill, but I can't. In the 12 years, almost to the day, that I've served in this body, I've voted for every tax cut, every tax cut. And I remember many of my colleagues, many of them friends to my right…
I also urge support and yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from California (Mr. Issa) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, S. 3662. The question…
I know my friend from Virginia means well, but, once again, he talks about a lack of accomplishment. Apparently, he hasn't looked at the work that the clerks have done here on the floor. He hasn't looked at the work that CBO, the…
I note, once again, that this is a half a percent that will not be increased by this action--half a percent--so on $100,000 it's $500 of a pay raise that will not occur for Federal workers, and, in fact, the sky is not falling if we choose…
I urge all Members to vote for S. 3630, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from California (Mr. Issa) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill…

The ranking member made a good point, and in this body you should always go along with that which is true and oppose that which is false. The gentleman made an excellent point: we do have hundreds of thousands of hardworking Federal…
Shame on this body. We have a $10 trillion hole in the difference between our spending and our revenue, and we can't find a way to compromise? The gentleman from Maryland said that it didn't receive a single Democratic vote. This is the…
I want to thank my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, particularly my friend, Mr. Clay. It is not often that we get to come here as a committee and talk about something that, in fact, affects perceived government cronyism and…
Correcting the record appears to be important here. So I want to note that earlier, the minority said that there was no GAO study. Well, I beg to differ. A September 2012 report to Congress entitled ``Border Security,'' on its request, on…
To my colleague from Michigan, 1990 is a longstanding part of our 236-year history. 1990 is a long part of 236 years. And 55,000 out of 1 million immigrant visas is a large part. I think on this side of the aisle we know better. We know…
