Because ultimately, we are put in place to protect the public interest, and if we lose confidence in these markets, it is going to affect our entire economy.

You are absolutely correct, Mr. Deutch, and the visions of those scared mothers talking to us in their community by the bus stop, a shelter that has to be reinforced by concrete so that they can somewhat protect their children on the way…

Thank you, Representative Deutch. You are not just a friend but a great colleague. Before she leaves the Chamber, I just want to associate myself with Congresswoman Berkley's remarks. The gentlewoman from Nevada has been a stalwart for the…

We have a duty, I believe, to raise human rights with dictatorship and not lose that opportunity.

Not a word about any of this. Secretary Clinton said she didn't know; she refused to answer the question, but would get back to us.

Given the grave importance of this issue and literally millions of lives at stake, I extend to the Vice President an open invitation to testify at a hearing at his convenience.

How could you delink human rights and throw the people of China, who aspire to freedom and democracy and human rights, under the bus?

Yes. When we already have 20 percent unemployment in those regions, you reduce the poultry and dairy production in those areas, unemployment will be even higher.

I urge my colleagues to vote for this commonsense amendment and prevent undue economic harm to our communities. I yield back the balance of my time.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 36, line 23, after the semicolon insert ``and''. Page 37, strike lines 1 through 3. Page 37, line 4…

The MILC Program is a prime example of government programs that pick between winners and losers, in my opinion.

I see great acceptance of the standards in California. The product is more nutritious, and I am a huge fan of increased standards.

Producing our own food is vital to our national security. It is imperative that we protect our domestic food production industry, especially the dairy industry.

It is also essential that this Congress enact dairy policy reforms that lift up the industry and lay the foundation for the future of dairy production.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from California will be postponed. Amendment No. 7 Offered by Ms. Foxx

We simply cannot afford this regulatory burden.

I will just ask my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to join me in sending a strong message to the Department of Housing and Urban Development that the foreclosure programs they have put in place have not worked for America. They need…

I want to thank the gentlelady from Ohio, the ranking member on my committee, for her support of this resolution. It's a pleasure to serve with her on the Horticulture and Organic Subcommittee of the Agriculture Committee. I would just say…

We must begin to address health and nutrition in ways like never before, increasing the accessibility of fruits and vegetables for public consumption.

My objective today is straightforward. We are here to assess what is working, what is not working and how we can improve upon the historic 2008 Farm Bill effort on behalf of specialty crops and organic agriculture.

What is not open to debate is the fact that 1.7 million Americans today and over the next 3 days and over the last few weeks have lost their unemployment benefits. That is an emergency. That's why we have emergency spending provisions. We…

Congressional Republicans threaten to take us back to the failed policies that created the economic crisis, siding with special interests, i.e., the Wall Street investment banks. These economic and fiscal policies created the Bush…

I rise today in support of the Pingree amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act. I believe today we must stand firmly on the side of fiscal responsibility and refuse to fund a redundant engine that our military leaders and our…

Nineteen, on behalf of the package, the jobs bill that we're contemplating bringing up tomorrow. Now, this illustrates the point that we've been frustrated for a long time. The gentleman is correct that both his district and my district…
