In addition to that information, we have placed in this bill a requirement that the Road Home program must report to us every 30 days, because we are watching them very closely, we have let them know that we were not happy with the…

Mr. Towns, I was just wondering, in the work that we have all been doing, we have been trying so hard to educate all of our young people in our communities about HIV and AIDS and how they can take more responsibility. We have been fighting…

In closing, I would simply again like to thank Mr. Ney for having brought to this floor perhaps the most significant piece of legislation of this session, a piece of legislation that is going to benefit all, so many Americans, a piece of…

It's a trap. It's an attempt to force Democrats to sign onto a resolution that will do nothing to bring our troops home.

Yes, Mr. Chairman. On the point of order, I would object to the characterization of this program as unauthorized. {time} 2015 As a matter of fact, it is my understanding that the program indeed is authorized. It is couched in something…

I support this amendment also. I am tired of poor people and working people having to go and find lawyers and pay them. Who can afford $250 and $300 an hour? The average poor person certainly cannot. So you are right, let us put it on the…

Reclaiming my time, I was referring to the PEPFAR portion of this. It was my understanding that the $15 billion commitment was above and beyond the other programs that you are alluding to. But I do appreciate that.

Well, I understand that and I appreciate the gentleman correcting my thinking relative to where the money was to come from, because in the AIDS activist community, we were all under the impression that the PEPFAR fund alone would produce…

I think you are so right, and I thank you so very much for the leadership you have provided on these issues. I thank you for opening up opportunities for women to go down to Mexico and take a look at what is going on there. It is because…

Those are certainly tough questions and, of course, just as Condoleeza Rice gave the framed message that she always gives when she is speaking publicly, Saddam Hussein was a terrible man, Saddam Hussein was a threat to the United States…

Let me just say this. I am not going to allow my amendment to get caught up in the politics of the day. I know that there are people who are just salivating for this amendment to remain on the floor so they can catch Democrats voting for…

Does the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Sensenbrenner) have any more time, because I wish to make a statement on this bill prior to the close of debate. The Acting CHAIRMAN (Mr. LaHood). The gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Sensenbrenner) has…

Reclaiming the time, I would hope that the gentleman would also support the idea of a broader study on gangs, period, and that we could identify a number of areas to be looked at. Would the gentleman be interested in that at some point in…

Yes, Mr. Speaker, I withdraw; and I thank the gentleman on the opposite side of the aisle.

Yes, Mr. Speaker. Based on my statement, he is now again appealing the ruling of the Chair based on that it was untimely. I ask the gentleman from New York (Mr. Nadler) if that is right.

And this is a good day for veterans. It is a good day for veterans because, again, we are beginning to address some of the issues that we should have addressed a long time ago. Someone mentioned earlier that homelessness among the veterans…

I rise to support the Rangel amendment to prohibit the use of funds to enforce the economic embargo on Cuba. If Congress were serious about our relationship with Cuba, Congress would pursue a policy of negotiation and diplomacy--not…

Wal-Mart has disrespected Inglewood.

During the course of a bank merger process, both the Federal financial supervisory agency and the Department of Justice review the merger proposal for competitive concerns. After a Federal banking agency approves a merger, DOJ has 30 days…

I was baffled, a little bit stunned by the gentleman's amendment and cannot understand why he would single out Liberia and Sudan to be excluded. I think it is unwise. I think his motives are questionable, and I would hope that the…

I will not support $87 billion to continue this war under any circumstances. I am very clear about that. ... They have not been truthful in any shape, form, or fashion; and they continue to defend this preemptive strike and to mislead us…

Yes. That is the latter part. That is the latter part of this amendment. But the amendment that I am speaking to now is the one where I said consumer reporting agencies must disclose the names and addresses of all sources of information…

I make the point that the chairman has on other occasions this evening waived the rules, and certainly this would not be a precedent. He could do it if he had the will to do it. Again, I think just as on my other two amendments, he has…

This particular amendment that I am addressing would simply point out all of the funding that is being done in this supplemental appropriation, and it would raise the question of why if we are building schools and providing universal…
