Again it feels like Ground Hog Day. Again, I have great respect for my friend from Pennsylvania, but I don't understand what numbers he is looking at. Does he deny that in statute we appropriated last year $19 billion for military…

Let me just say that only in Washington can politicians demand recognition after being shamed into doing the right thing. That is what we just heard. We all know that the default on America act that House Republicans pursued was primed to…

The gentleman talked about facts. Again, these are not my numbers. These are their numbers. This year in this bill, House Republicans appropriate $17.5 billion for military construction. That is $1.5 billion less than the current level. In…

May I inquire as to how much time remains on both sides. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Colorado has 5\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from Pennsylvania has 18\1/2\ minutes remaining.

If you care about reauthorizing this critical program, the Upper Colorado and San Juan River Basin recovery programs, and I certainly care and, on a bipartisan basis, many of my constituents care, then you ought to also care about ensuring…

I couldn't agree more, and we will do everything in our power to ensure that this fund is replenished.

I am hopeful that other States will emulate the model that Colorado has adopted.

Last year, our State proudly enacted the right to repair for powered wheelchairs. This year the State legislature acted yet again, by enacting the first right-to-repair legislation for agricultural equipment, a really big deal for the…

My home State, I represent Colorado in the U.S. Congress. As you all know, and I believe it has come up once or twice here, that Colorado has been a leader in this regard with respect to right to repair.

As Congressman Veasey and I have written, our hope is that this monument will stand as a testament to those who fought to safeguard the freedom and democracy.

History is made in these halls, and history is written by the people's branch.

I believe we are supposed to be legislators, and this was the first thing that I did.

But is there space for a new memorial on the National Mall? The Reserve measures 1,030 acres.

It is certainly nice to see you again, Mr. Laymon, and I am glad you could join us again in the Committee.

I hope you will support H.R. 1318.

the women's suffrage monument merits a place among these other 40 monuments within the Reserve.

For that reason, I would certainly encourage my colleagues to be supportive of this particular bill, as well as Mr. Moore's bill.

This is the time to re-emphasize the most admirable traits of our nation and establish concrete reminders of those who wholly embody those traits.

While I understand the historical context of the Department's position, I do struggle to understand the Department's rationale.

The National Park Service has testified today that, although women are important, we are not important enough to hold space on the National Mall.

The National Mall, which is the most visited national park in the United States with 36 million annual visitors, is our nation's foremost commemorative space.

I am writing to ask for your support of the site location on the National Mall for a monument in recognition of the women's suffrage movement.

Beware of that profound enemy of the free enterprise system who pays lip service to free competition but labels every antitrust prosecution as a persecution.

It is only fitting that this monument be situated near the Lincoln Memorial, paying the tribute to the president who established the Medal of Honor and embodied its fundamental principles.
