Mark Takano

Reclaiming my time. So it is curious to me that the gentlewoman has not included even the word ``transgender.'' She uses the word ``biological male,'' and the study that she has put forward studies the harm done to cisgender girls by…

Reclaiming my time. So the gentlewoman does recognize that transgender kids and transgender people exist.

I claim time to speak in opposition to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from California is recognized for 5 minutes.

May I inquire as to how much time is remaining. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from California has 4\1/4\ minutes remaining.

May I inquire of the time remaining. The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from North Carolina has 2\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from California has 8 minutes remaining.

I remind my colleagues on the other side that trans people do exist. To deny their existence is to also deny their humanity, and this is a terrible thing. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Frost).

While girls' participation in sports have increased 1,000 percent since Title IX, the participation numbers still have not reached that of boys 50 years ago. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Michigan (Ms. Stevens).

This will also be an invaluable tool for VA to ensure that the government, veterans, and taxpayers are getting what they pay for.

We have had a lot of success working together on a bipartisan basis.

The key word there being independent.

I look forward to continuing to work across the aisle to fix this problem.

I am happy to discuss two bills today that I have introduced in this Congress.

I just want to emphasize that as the Ranking Member of Technology and Modernization Subcommittee, I am interested in finding ways I can support the VA to modernize its IT program.

It is past time that we designated an undersecretary whose expertise will be the business of government.

For too long, Congress has not had the visibility into these large IT modernization programs that we need to provide necessary oversight.

I am also happy to say that Chairman Bost and I will be working together on a bipartisan basis on a long-term solution to the EHRM program.

I find it chilling that in this country they would dismantle the autonomy of public university, and take it over in that way;

I do--I am concerned about this legitimization of the intervention of the State, and the idea that legislation, even if it is sort of loyalty oaths to the Constitution.

It is far past time for our Nation to properly honor the service of these Korean American veterans.

I am proud to be here to discuss my bill, the Korean American Valor Act, H.R. 366.

I think it's high time that we stop exempting truckers from the FLSA.

It is abundantly clear that the Biden administration inherited an economy in dire straits.

I want to point out that even though the total number of veterans has decreased, you know, thanks to medical science...

I look forward to working that all out with you.

Last, and most importantly, Mr. Takano led the enactment of a new statute that says to any veteran in crisis today, go to get care anywhere, in the community, at VA, go to anywhere to get that care.
