I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, we've heard a lot of talk, and it seems like most of the talk is about how we are being unfair to the District of Columbia by giving them money that, in fact, they don't really need…
I yield myself such time as I may consume. You know, there has been a lot of talk about H.R. 1, and I think that's a bigger picture than what we're looking at here today; but it should be considered. Republicans offered on this floor, and…
I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Gowdy), the subcommittee chairman who has worked so hard on this issue and who truly does understand the gentlelady's passion, if not her accuracy.
It is my honor to yield 5 minutes to my distinguished colleague from Indiana (Mr. Pence).
I yield myself 1 minute. Mr. Speaker, maybe we should lighten up just a little here. Yogi Berra apparently said, ``Nobody goes there anymore; it's too crowded,'' when referring to a restaurant that had long lines to get in. Mr. Speaker, we…
No, I do not. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman withdraws his point of order. The gentleman from Maryland is recognized for 5 minutes.
I will be brief. We spent an hour and 40 minutes discussing the bill and the amendment, and at least the delegate from the District of Columbia attempted to move these dollars all to the public school system. This bill, in fact, not only…
I object to the dispensing of the reading, and I reserve a point of order against the motion. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The point of order is reserved. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Cummings…
No one has worked harder on this than my subcommittee chairman, the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Gowdy), to whom I yield 3 minutes.
It is a great honor to yield the customary 1 minute to the author of the bill, the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Boehner), Speaker of the House.
We should bear in mind that home rule is not the right of the District of Columbia to rule people's private homes and how they make their choices for their children. I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Duncan).
A point of order. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman will suspend. The gentleman will kindly state his point of order.
Isn't it true that the House rules prohibit direct accusations about the intent or the personal features of somebody or, in fact, whether or not they have nerve? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair is not going to respond to a hypothetical…
It's now my pleasure to yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Kline), the chairman of the Committee on Education and the Workforce.
In closing, we won't fund failure from this side of the dais. Yes, we're giving additional money to the failed public schools. Yes, we're giving additional money to a chartered public school system that tries valiantly to help those…
Well, you know, it is funny you mention Europe, because we will be going to France to visit the nuclear reprocessing facility that allows France to have all its entire base load coming from nuclear with zero emissions, because they are…
if our Government cannot get off its haunches and put on the gloves and get into the ring to protect home ownership when it is under threat like this, then I mean none of us really have any business being in public service if we cannot get…
We can do better. We can do better as a Nation. We have to protect home buyers. And this is the greatest transfer of wealth that I have ever seen in my life.
I think all of us on the dais believe it is money well spent, but it is money that has to be looked at carefully.
Thank you. I won't use it all. It has been a long night, and the American people are hopefully still watching. As they watch what we are doing here and as they see people coming and crying for the Federal worker, I hope what they realize…
Mr. Chairman, I just want to clear up some facts because I believe, in the effort to try to make a point, people have failed to be quite as accurate as they should be. First of all, as for political appointees, the President has already…
President Obama announced a pay freeze. Within his Executive order, he froze all pay he could freeze. The one he could not freeze was step increases. This simple amendment adds to President Obama's 2-year freeze a 7-month freeze for the…
