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 232, noes 185, not voting 16, as follows: [Roll No. 447] AYES--232…
It's now my special privilege to yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi), the person who led our efforts, and the health care reform is a testimony to her career, our leader.
As I think everybody knows, the two committees, Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means, work closely together, and as chairs, Mr. Waxman and I were able to, with others, work so closely. I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from California…
We are now 7 months into this House Republican session. It has been nothing more than a bridge to nowhere. Nowhere on jobs. Nowhere on immigration reform. Nowhere on a budget agreement. Nowhere on most appropriations bills. Instead, House…
Could I ask for the amount of time on both sides, please? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Michigan has 8 minutes remaining. The gentleman from Georgia has 14 minutes remaining.
I yield myself the balance of my time. From the outset, I made clear my reaction to IRS mismanagement that called for relieving of duties of two people. But what the Republicans today are doing is using the IRS as a bootstrap to express…
I now yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Washington (Mr. McDermott), the ranking member on the Health Subcommittee of our committee. (Mr. McDERMOTT asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. McDERMOTT. Mr…
Okay. We have other speakers. Thank you. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from New York (Ms. Velazquez), who is the ranking member on the Small Business Committee.

I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Washington (Mr. McDermott), another member of the committee. (Mr. McDERMOTT asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. McDERMOTT. Mr. Speaker, I would remind my…
It's now a special pleasure for me to yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman who presided over the passage of Medicare 48 years ago and has worked on health care issues his entire historic career, Mr. Dingell from the State of…

I too object to the unanimous consent request. While the sponsor says it is aimed at bailouts, no one I know of is seeking a bailout from the communities that would be impacted. Despite the stated intention, the effect of this bill is to…
today, along with my colleagues, Senator Grassley, Senator Feinstein, and Senator Harkin, I am reintroducing the Incorporation Transparency and Law Enforcement Assistance Act, a bill designed to combat terrorism, money laundering, tax…
On line 7, page 1: ``Notwithstanding any other provision of law''--and then after talking about Federal funds not being used to purchase or guarantee obligations, it then says: no Federal funds may be used . . . or provide direct or…
if you come to my office in the Russell Building, you will usually be greeted by one of the young and eager staffers who welcome visitors and answer the phones at the front desk. Every once in a while, you will find, instead, someone with…
The bills today and the bill on Friday on ACA are more about politics than policy--politics at any cost by the Republican majority. They want to change the subject from their inability to legislate and their refusal to go to conference on…
I yield myself such time as I may consume. Let me spend a few minutes, if I might, discussing the context of this legislation and a bit of what's in it. The Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 enacted a list of 10…
I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, I think all of the recommendations make sense. We Democrats--throughout our Caucus and the President, all of us--joined in making clear what we thought of the mismanagement within the IRS…
