Zoe Lofgren

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. You know, as I was listening, I was thinking this question of impeachment is something that, oddly enough, my career has intersected several times.

If we depart from our history, and from our Constitution as determined and interpreted by our history, then we chart a different kind of America than we have had in the past.

Could that not have the impact, Mr. Gerhardt, of really changing the balance of power between Congress and the executive, so that the executive would become less able to act, and really be a departure for the last couple hundred years of…

History has its eyes on you.

Warrantless bulk collection of U.S. person communications and information was not ended with the USA FREEDOM Act. Twice in the last 2 years the House voted overwhelmingly to close two loopholes, but House leadership blocked us. The first…

I have no further speakers. I urge a ``yes'' vote on the bill. I yield back the balance of my time.

I am pleased to support the O-VISA Act, which is a narrow, but important, bill. I thank my Judiciary Committee colleagues--the gentlewoman from California (Mrs. Mimi Walters) and the gentleman from New York (Mr. Nadler)--for their…

I would just like to note and put into the Record the fact sheet from the American Library Association indicating that it is the Library of Congress' belief that it will need to change its policy already underway on this, so if the…

This bill picks a fight with the librarians. In the bill, we seek to compel the Library of Congress to use an outdated and dehumanizing term to reference people who aren't citizens of the country. Although the term ``alien'' is used in our…

I include in the Record the missive from the American Library Association entitled ``Support Library of Congress Autonomy in Subject Heading Determinations.'' Support Library of Congress Autonomy in Subject Heading Determinations [From the…

I think we made a huge mistake by setting a deadline on which we'd get ignition.

It was impossible to listen to the mothers talk about their lost children and not just feel the anguish here.

I do not think eBay got enough credit for what it did.

I mean, if you have an American company that does some of its manufacturing overseas, it is still an American company.

I am wondering if we ought to make it very clear to the ITC that they do not have jurisdiction over digital transmissions.

I would just note that our staff calculates that your department has sent over about 8,000 pages of documents in response to inquiries this year.

I think we can all agree that the federal investments in research and development have proven to be worth every penny, especially in the energy sector.

I applaud you, Secretary Moniz, for your work to guarantee a brighter future in the face of the growing threat of climate change.

I think it is worth reflecting why we are here. When we had the bipartisan bill passed by the Senate last Congress, the Congressional Budget Office calculated that it would mean almost a trillion dollars to the positive for the American…

But finally, the net result could be this: if the Republicans prevail, we could end up with a roundup of a million kids who did nothing wrong, who were brought here as infants, who don't even remember the country of their birth. When all…

I know that Mr. Sessions is not a lawyer and I would not suggest he intended to mislead this House. But the comment was, in fact, misleading because that is not a requirement for the House to brief that point. It is simply directed to the…

We have heard some very eloquent comments today. I was particularly taken by my colleague from South Carolina (Mr. Gowdy), the chairman of the committee, his passionate speech about the rule of law. In fact, we all do agree about the…

I submit the following letter: Congress of the United States, Washington, DC, November 4, 1999. Embargoed for release Monday, November 8, 1999. Contact: Allen Kay, Rep. Lamar Smith. Re Guidelines for use of prosecutorial discretion in…

I submit the following amici curiae brief: No. 15-674 In the Supreme Court of the United States United States of America, et al., Petitioners, v. State of Texas, et al., Respondents. ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF…
