I think it would be pennywise and pound foolish for us to try to support in name this initiative and not actually secure vital funding.

One of our common goals on the Science Committee is to inspire more young people and particularly more young women to pursue careers in the sciences.

I want to thank my colleague, Congressman Knight, again for his leadership on this bill on this important issue.

We know that we need to do right by our veterans. Too many of our veterans are unemployed.

Today I rise in recognition of National Apprenticeship Week. In conversations with employers in my district at companies like Ward Leonard in Thomaston and Forum Plastics in Waterbury, I hear about how our businesses struggle to find…

I want to thank my friend and colleague and the co-chair of the Corrosion Prevention Caucus. I am a Navy daughter and the daughter and granddaughter of civil engineers, so believe me, I have learned a lot about corrosion and corrosion…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of title I, insert the following: SEC. __. NORTH ATLANTIC COASTAL REGION. Section 4009 of the…

I urge adoption of the amendment. I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. Esty). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment No. 23 Offered by Ms…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of title I, insert the following: SEC. __. CORROSION PREVENTION. Section 1033 of the Water…

The American people deserve and the American people demand a vote on commonsense, bipartisan gun safety legislation. During the 7 weeks that Congress was in recess, thousands of Americans were killed by guns. Each one of those Americans…

We need a vote. What will it take for this House, the people's House, to finally vote on commonsense, bipartisan legislation to save American lives? Since the murder of 20 schoolchildren and 6 educators in one of my communities in Newtown…

I unequivocal support for the Attorney General from Massachusetts, Maura Healey, and the other Attorneys General who have been subjected to, in my opinion, truly disturbing Congressional overreach and interference with their jobs.

There are a lot of people who believe this is a gross and unconstitutional overreach of Congressional power who are not able to testify at this hearing.

I ask my colleagues--urge them--to pass this bill. It is important that we understand the realities of war. This past weekend, many of us participated in parades, earlier this year in the Memorial Day parade, later this year in the…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 74, line 25, after the dollar amount insert ``(reduced by $10,000,000)''. Page 76, line 18, after the…

Again, with all due respect, I think, as my colleague has noted, these dollars make an enormous impact, and I would respectfully request and urge my colleagues to support the Esty amendment. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.

My amendment would increase funding by $10 million to match the President's budget request for the State and Tribal Assistance Grants to clean up and revitalize brownfields. Too many cities and towns across America with proud manufacturing…

On Tuesday, July 12, I unfortunately missed a rollcall vote on a motion to adjourn. Had I been present, I would have voted ``no'' on Rep. Grayson's motion to adjourn (Rollcall No. 404). ____________________

Today marks 1 month since the horrific attack on Pulse nightclub that took 49 lives. Many of us have come here to this floor raising our voices to demand that this House take action to prevent the loss of life from guns in this country…

I find it particularly ironic that we are here talking about suspicion of the public, talking about accountability. I will tell you, that is why my colleagues are here today, that is why several hundred Americans came to the Capitol today…

The American people expect us to act to protect them. We need a tough and smart counterterrorism strategy to go after ISIS, and that has to include taking commonsense steps to keep guns out of the hands of terrorists. In a 2011 propaganda…

This House's silence on preventing gun violence and keeping guns out of the hands of dangerous individuals is a betrayal of the American people. Americans are 25 times more likely to be murdered with a gun than in any of our peer…

People who are watching may wonder: What are these folks talking about? They are talking about a rule. What is this about? If you just tuned in, I will tell you what it is about. One hundred thousand Americans have died from guns in the…

The American people sent us here to solve problems. They sent us here to work together to help the American people. Frankly, the American people are getting pretty frustrated. We noticed a little bit of frustration break out on the floor…
