Thank you, Ranking Member Visclosky. I have been working to provide our World War II merchant mariners the thanks they deserve. I would prefer to offer an amendment to the Defense bill which would have provided a token thank you, but it…

His qualifications are exemplary. His knowledge, his character, and his strategic thinking are first rate.

For months we have been calling for a long- term surface transportation bill to replace the one that expires at the end of this month. In recent weeks, I have joined many of my colleagues as we counted down the days left for Congress to…

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 387, noes 35, answered ``present'' 1, not voting 9, as follows: [Roll…

almost every one of those women owners... continued to complain a little bit about always being denied by banks.

I rise against the rule that we are considering to the National Defense Authorization bill. I was extremely disappointed late last night, as you can imagine, when the Rules Committee decided not to make my amendment in order for today. My…

Americans are still shaken by this week's Amtrak derailment that took the lives of seven people and left more than 200 injured. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families who have suffered a loss. The NTSB said that this tragedy could…

As we celebrate national Infrastructure Week here in this country, I urge my colleagues across the aisle to work with us to develop a sensible, long-term solution to fix this trust fund and put an end to our infrastructure crisis. We need…

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Chairman, I join my colleague and good friend from Michigan in offering the Huizenga-Hahn amendment to the Energy and Water Appropriations bill in order to utilize the harbor maintenance trust…

I just really want to thank Chairman Simpson and Ranking Member Kaptur for allowing us to offer this amendment tonight. I really want to thank my colleague, Mr. Huizenga, for his incredible passion and his ability to move this forward in a…

What do you--is there a role--is there a Federal role in fixing this injustice? And what would that be?

These drivers... are overworked and underpaid, which I think leads to unsafe roads, because of the welfare of the driver.

I have an amendment at the desk. The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Add the end the following: SEC.__. REPORT ON CYBERSECURITY VULNERABILITIES OF UNITED STATES PORTS. Not later than…

I thank Chairman McCaul and Ranking Member Thompson for allowing me to offer this amendment. I rise to offer a National Cybersecurity Protection Advancement Act amendment, one to increase cybersecurity at our Nation's most at-risk ports…

I thank you for your support, and I applaud you and the committee for working in this bipartisan manner. I urge all of my colleagues to support this amendment. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time. The CHAIR. The question is…

I approached Chairman Benishek with my legislation--H.R. 627, which updates the definition of 'homeless veteran' to include victims fleeing domestic violence.

Today, I want to address one segment of homeless veterans--those who are homeless because of domestic violence.

If it helps one veteran get the support they need and to leave a dangerous situation, then our work here will be worth every minute.

I believe our Federal agencies need to do more, and I really urge you to continue to act in the name of public safety, first and foremost.

I was particularly frustrated with this spill in Wilmington, which resulted in only a $75,000 fine against Phillips 66.

It is unbelievable that this relatively simple rule, which has universal support, is still pending.

I thank my colleague, Chris Van Hollen, for the opportunity to speak today. Mr. Chairman, I think a budget is a reflection of our priorities. The choices we make about how to invest and spend have an impact on our American families. We…

Thank you. Mr. Chairman, I call on my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to join me in supporting a budget that returns this tax back to the ports, where it is collected. I want to thank the bipartisan group of 86 Members who signed the…

I, along with the rest of the country, am breathing a sigh of relief that full-time work has resumed at our west coast ports. I wanted to publicly thank the ILWU and the PMA for staying at the table and finally reaching an agreement. I…

I actually would like to see the Federal Maritime Commission look into some of the unilateral actions by the Pacific Maritime Association.
