May I inquire of the Speaker how much time remains on both sides? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Colorado has 9\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from Georgia has 23 minutes remaining.

Does this amendment to the rule mean that Members of this body will have less than 24 hours to review any bill we consider next week? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair will not interpret the meaning of the pending proposition.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 and clause 9 of rule XX, this 15-minute vote on ordering the previous question will be followed by 5-minute votes on adopting…

I thank the gentleman from Texas for yielding me the customary 30 minutes, and I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the rule and the underlying bills, H.R. 3236, the Surface Transportation and…

I say to my colleague from Texas, we have so many speakers on our side of the aisle--in fact, both sides of the aisle--folks like Mr. Fincher and others who want to reauthorize the Export-Import Bank. If he has additional time, I know that…

If we defeat the previous question, I will offer an amendment to allow the House to vote on reauthorizing the Export-Import Bank, as proposed by Mr. Fincher yesterday. It is the same exact language that passed the Senate by a vote of…

I'm looking forward to your implementation of the self-reported monogamy recommendation, which I am certainly in strong support of.

As the gentleman from Georgia might recall, when the Democrats controlled the Senate last session, they did pass comprehensive immigration reform with strong Republican and Democratic support. More than two-thirds of the body supported…

If your council didn't want fracking, you don't think that the Federal or state government should force fracking to occur on your lands.

I think that we should allow tribes or states or counties to decide how to implement fracking, whether to have it or not, where to have it, and the rules under which it occurs.
