I am proud of the work that University of California Riverside has done to improve the success of low-income, first generation students, many of whom--actually most of whom are students of color.

Let me say that the amendments that we are considering to this bill today, which I consider friendly, will address many of the ranking member's concerns about the reaching out. I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Connecticut (Mr…

I wish to thank Speaker Pelosi and Leader Hoyer for considering this legislation today, and I urge the rest of my colleagues to support this vital legislation to increase access to care and ensure a smooth transition to civilian life for…

The issue of how servicemembers are disciplined for refusing to take the vaccine has already been addressed in the National Defense Authorization Act. It already states plainly that there could be a general discharge, or an…

It is my esteemed honor and privilege to yield 1 minute to a champion and staunch advocate who is unparalleled in her support for our Nation's 22 million veterans. This Congress with her support we have continued to preserve the sacred…

There has been an honest reckoning and an honest assessment by the CBO, and this bill is paid for according to the rules, the same rules that my Republican counterparts observe. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Texas…

There are plenty of instances where training time and readiness training has counted towards the GI Bill. We talk about the basic training that reservists and Guard unit members go through. That has counted toward the GI Bill. And if there…

I thank Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Leader Steny Hoyer for considering this legislation today, and I urge the rest of my colleagues to support this legislation to ensure every day a guard or reservist spends in uniform counts toward earning…

This is really atrocious. We are talking about miners suffering from black lung, and I am just appalled at the gamesmanship that has been allowed to occur.

When will this company actually be required to post the collateral your agency believes it should?

It appears that the private equity funds controlling this company are stripping its assets.

I would like to ask, Madam Chair, unanimous consent to enter into the record relevant excerpts of the 10K filings for 2017 through 2020 of Warrior Met Coal.

Mr. Godfrey, your agency's appeal process for self-insurance appears to take so long that a company can largely escape your requirements.

It was deeply troubling to witness such an attempt, and cabinet officials should not have unilateral authority to remove IG's without cause.

Protecting the independence of the Inspector Generals will strengthen accountability and transparency of our democratic institutions.

And I'm a proud cosponsor of Representative Schiff's Protecting our Democracy Act, which contains a sweeping set of reforms aimed at strengthening our democracy.

I ask all of my colleagues to join me in passing this important piece of legislation, S. 796, the Protecting Moms Who Served Act of 2021, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I enthusiastically support the naming of the San Diego, California, VA Medical Center in honor of Captain Moreno and Captain Bruyere, and I reserve the balance of my time. {time} 1715

I look forward to working with the Education Department to better protect students and taxpayers affected by school closures.

Students are at a period like of real trauma or crisis, the schools close, it's not their fault.

The closed school discharge is a bright light of hope for these borrowers who struggled for so long

That means even less accountability and less value for the taxpayer.

I don't see the good in say a top-quality medical school being forced to accept credits from a fly by night medical school.

I express my gratitude to the gentleman from Massachusetts for sharing Hanna Tripp's story. She truly is and was a courageous member of our Armed Forces, and it was very moving testimony. I read it in advance and nearly teared up. I thank…
