request to submit letter in support of the Los Angeles courthouse project signed by 19 Members of the California delegation

Unfortunately, because California has the--very busy ports, and we have had the influx of invasive species...

we must invest in our ports.

Should our Government prohibit transshipment of goods through Mexico and Canada coming to the U.S., since they do not have the same security, the same safety, and environment regulations that we have at our ports?

The Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund is an important tool to rebuild our harbor infrastructure.

I really must commend my colleague and my friend, Mr. Young, on the introduction of this piece of legislation as we're looking for more individual entities to go to green energy and save fossil fuel. Besides, it saves many other things…

The recipients of the Distinguished Flying Cross include Captain Charles Lindbergh, Commander Richard Byrd, Amelia Earhart, and Captain Mark Kelly. You might know who Captain Mark Kelly is because he had his medal pinned on him by his…
