I urge my colleagues to oppose the previous question and the rule, and I yield back the balance of my time.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, the Chair will reduce to 5 minutes the minimum time for any electronic vote on the question of the adoption of…

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 228, noes 184, not voting 16, as follows: [Roll No. 151] AYES--228…

I am very concerned. Iran is provoking Israel into conflict in Syria.

It's shocking that the Trump administration has failed to articulate that strategy to deal with Iran's growing presence in Syria.

I am talking about the injured children that need medical assistance and have been orphaned.

What is our strategy as it relates to Russia?

Thank you for all the work that you're doing. I have very focused my work in the Western Hemisphere, specifically I co-lead the Central America Caucus.

The issue is because there is so much public corruption opportunities for American business to thrive there.

I strongly disagree with the State Department's decision to certify Honduras right after the election.

I want to make sure that we focus or we put a greater focus on electoral reform.

A secure and prosperous Central America is in our national interest.

If this were to become law, the overall funding provided for in Indian Affairs would be lower than any level in the last 15 years--15 years.

Our goal is to get these platforms removed, not give them a new lease on life.

It is with a heavy heart that I report to you an incident that occurred the evening of March 9. Officers of the Pomona Police Department were involved in a short pursuit that resulted in a 15-hour-long standoff. At the onset of that…

I was unavoidably detained and was thus unable to cast my vote on rollcall votes 83, 84, 85, 86, and 87. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 83, ``nay'' on rollcall No. 84, ``nay'' on rollcall No. 85, ``nay'' on…

I did say that the lack of leadership currently in this administration has actually made things worse in the region.

This committee really prides itself from working on a bipartisan way.

We have waited too long to protect the DREAMers. This is unacceptable to me and to the vast majority of Americans. My Republican colleagues say that we have until March to fix this issue, but that is simply not true. 16,287 DREAMers have…

So either stealing from us, directly from us, or shutting down our commerce.

Absolutely. That is why I think it is critical for us to, at the very least, Mr. Chairman, try to get a hearing on this bill, once again, H.R. 3261.

last year, I introduced H.R. 3261, the North Korea Follow the Money Act. It is a simple bipartisan bill that requires a national intelligence estimate on North Korea's revenue sources.

It has been 2 weeks since I last stood here to ask the House to bring the Dream Act to a vote. Thirty-four of my colleagues, my Republican colleagues, have sent a letter to Republican Speaker Ryan asking for action to protect DREAMers…

This Congress faces a moral decision that we have put off making for too long, a decision that we cannot put off any longer: Will we stop the deportation of hundreds of thousands of young DREAMers or not? This is not a partisan question…

Can you tell me how much time I have remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from California has 11 minutes remaining.
