You know, I was looking over the vote from the 1st of August, and it's interesting to see and hear people coming forth who voted ``aye'' on August 1 and now essentially want to repudiate that. I now yield 3 minutes to another very…

Let me put this very simply: this is a dishonest procedure. This is a ruse to avoid a straight up-or-down vote on the Senate bill and the 2-month extension. Why not hold a straight vote, as indeed called for under regular order? That's the…

I wish to comment on two specific issues regarding the conference report to H.R. 2055, the omnibus spending measure before us. First, I am pleased that the conference report includes $22 million for the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, or…
