I strongly support this legislation, and I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on H.R. 5936, as amended. And I want to express, again, my deep appreciation in working with the majority to get this bill done. It is really important to those…
I have no further speakers. I urge my colleagues to join me in passing H.R. 3471, as amended. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
You change the leadership, you put a better leader in, you get better performance. I can't stress too much the importance of leadership.
A leader in the Riverside community, a fitness bug, an award-winning baker, a winner of the Presidential Award of Excellence, a remarkable educator, and a person who died too young just a few weeks ago, in her 40 years in the classroom…
So perhaps rather than focusing in on the due process procedures and all of that, I mean, there is some value in that, but focusing on the investment in HR would be a worthwhile thing for this Committee to look at.
Many of the national veterans service organizations are very troubled by Recommendation No. 1.
If you go to a federally licensed gun dealer to buy a firearm, you must pass a background check. But if you go to a private seller at a gun show or over the Internet, it is completely legal to buy a firearm with no background check to…
I, too, have no additional speakers. I thank the gentleman from Louisiana for his work on this issue. It is a pleasure working with him in committee. I once again ask all of my colleagues to join me in supporting H.R. 5588 and the…
I have no additional speakers, and I yield myself the balance of my time. In closing, I would like to again thank the gentleman from Nevada (Mr. Heck), my friend, for bringing this bill forward. I would like to thank Chairman Kline…
I thank the gentleman from Massachusetts for yielding. Mr. Speaker, the American people may be wondering why my colleagues and I are focusing on gun violence today and not on this financial services appropriations bill which, I should add…
Yesterday, we reflected on how fortunate we are to live in a country that gives each of us a voice in our government. Today, this Congress will, once again, ignore the voices of millions of Americans by refusing to address the epidemic of…
Over and over again my colleagues have pleaded with the majority to give us a vote on legislation that will protect Americans from gun violence. Those pleas and the pleas of millions of Americans continue to be ignored. So instead of my…
I thank the ranking member from New Jersey for the time. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to H.R. 5525, a bill that undermines the Lifeline program and demonstrates the majority's continued indifference to the struggle of…
I thank the gentlewoman from Nevada for the time. Mr. Speaker, the Inland Empire should have control of its regional airport, and local residents should have access to affordable domestic and international flights. With that in mind, I…

Veterans often say that a TAP refresher after 6 months from separating from the military is beneficial to them.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for holding this hearing today to talk about veteran employment in our contemporary economy.
Veteran unemployment is at a historic low at 3.4 percent overall, down from 5 percent this time last year.
