I am opposed in its current form. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Carbajal moves to recommit the bill H.R. 23 to the Committee on Natural Resources with instructions to…
I will point out that those figures are incorrect as stated by my colleague. In 2015, the DOD paid $2.03 for 77,660 gallons of fuel at a 10 percent blend. I just wanted to correct the record because those are the accurate figures, and I…
Today I proudly introduce bipartisan legislation to recognize July as American Grown Flower Month. I have seen firsthand the value of the grown flower industry playing an important role in our economy and community during my visits with…
I have an amendment at the desk. The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 5, beginning on line 10, strike ``the Secretary and the Secretary of Agriculture shall provide''. Page 5…
Unfortunately, this bill is in search of a problem. Voluntary is the status quo. That is the case today, and we see the wildfires happen day in and day out. So, again, I urge my colleagues to support my amendment. Mr. Chair, I yield back…
I demand a recorded vote. The CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from California will be postponed. Amendment No. 2 Offered by Ms. Sinema The CHAIR. It is now in order…
My amendment to H.R. 1873 ensures that we make up-front vegetation management planning a requirement for utilities that hold transmission rights-of-way on public lands. I agree with Mr. LaMalfa's intent to address the threats of wildfires…
Today I rise because 3 short years ago, the Isla Vista community in my district was rocked by an act of tragic and senseless gun violence. A young man took the lives of 6 UCSB students and injured 14 others. That day families were torn…
I rise this morning to recognize the second anniversary of the devastating Refugio oil spill off the Gaviota coast in my district. I remember all too well the horrifying sights and smells when over 100,000 barrels of crude oil poured from…
Today I urge President Trump again to make good on his promise of partnering with Congress to invest $1 trillion in America's infrastructure. This week marks National Infrastructure Week; and yet, disappointingly, little action has been…
I rise because I am deeply troubled by the Trump administration's executive order expected to be signed today that will potentially expand offshore oil drilling in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Arctic Oceans. My district, the central coast…
I am extremely concerned about the provocation and direction this administration is taking to address the North Korea threat.
Before I came to Congress, I worked in local government as a county supervisor. One of my proudest achievements during that time was working in a bipartisan way to create a program that reduced the rate of uninsured children in our county…
I rise on behalf of millions of students and graduates in this country that are struggling to finance their higher education and pay off student loans. Yesterday I invited Izeah Garcia to the President's address. Izeah is an advocate for…
It does not seem prudent for us to not subject this program to the highest degree of oversight and accountability.
Today I rise to tell the story of how last week's reckless and poorly implemented executive order indiscriminately banning immigrants from seven countries directly impacted two University of California, Santa Barbara graduate students in…
If not for the Affordable Care Act, her life-saving act would have prevented her from obtaining health insurance.
I do not believe the Affordable Care Act is perfect. There are changes that can be made to make it better.
It is imperative that we continue to work together providing affordable health care coverage for all, especially these working families that stand to lose the most from repeal.
The Affordable Care Act never purported to be perfect. So, it is important to recognize that as the baseline by which we are debating and discussing this.
I am deeply concerned about where we are headed. We have no substantive plans from the Republican majority to replace the ACA.
I rise for the first time as a Member of Congress to discuss an issue that is at the forefront of the American conscience and is one that I care deeply about: protecting and improving the Affordable Care Act. Today, over 45,000 of my…
