Today I rise to honor the life of Tim Staples, a devoted husband, brother, son, and teacher. Tim gave his life working to save the life of another. As a volunteer for search and rescue team of the San Bernardino County Sheriff's…

I appreciate the gentleman from California offering me some time, and I want to thank Representative Cook, as well, for his efforts. I rise in support of the Big Bear Land Exchange Act. My community in San Bernardino County experiences…

Today I rise to recognize the president of Stater Bros. Markets, Mr. George Frahm, who will retire at the end of October, after more than 47 years of service. Under George's leadership, Stater Bros. has become the largest privately-owned…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. In our democracy, we should actively be seeking ways to involve more people rather than shutting them out of the process. Some States have done this by making voting accessible for homebound voters and…
