I come to the House floor today to speak about a husband, a father, an avid environmentalist with over 55 years' experience in just one profession. Madam Speaker, I come here to speak about and to honor the life of Mike Love, a founding…

The gentlewoman spoke quickly, and I know she had a lot of important information there. Some of it simply was wrong. One of them is that she touched on environmental cleanup. Very clearly, nothing in this legislation would limit the…

If the minority has not gone through the discovery that we have, that we placed in the Record, I will be glad to give Mr. Cicilline or anyone else a copy. I am just going to repeat, though, after receiving testimony that they didn't pick…
