The U.S. Navy League and the AFL-CIO metal trades unions, whose members do such amazing work at our Nation's shipyards, also provided critical advocacy throughout this fight. Seapower's professional staff Phil MacNaughton, Dave Sienicki…

As we stand here on October 1, a few hours ago the leadership of airline industries all across America announced very sad news for their workforce. The fact of the matter is that, with CARES Act money expiring at midnight last night…

The tempo of antisubmarine warfare activity that the U.S. is collaborating with Norway has gone through the roof in the last few years.

One of the most dynamic and striking figures in American history was General George Patton. He was famous for saying: Lead, follow, or get out of the way. Mr. Speaker, those words were given at a time of world crisis when he was leading…

we know how important it is to reopen schools.

As a national survey published on Monday found, 86 percent of the America's school principals said it is extremely important, that is in quotes, 'extremely important' to get additional funding so their schools can safely reopen.

the decision to reopen has to be based on science, and it has to make the health and safety of our students and our teachers and our staff and families the top priority.

Unfortunately, our Republican friends in the Senate have chosen, like the President, to hide from the problem and taking it to action.

Secretary DeVos and President Trump are threatening, are threatening, to strip funding from public schools that determine they cannot safely bring all students back into the classroom full-time.

Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution states: ``Congress shall have the power . . . to provide and maintain a Navy.'' The Seapower and Projection Force's Subcommittee mark in this year's 2021 NDAA rises to that constitutional duty with…

we, obviously, as part of recognizing the First Amendment, recognize that the media has a role to play that is protected by the Constitution.

I have an amendment at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 499, after line 22, insert the following: SEC. 1632. VEHICLE WEIGHT LIMITATIONS. Section 127(a)…

Again, I think the gentlewoman described very well the situation that is there. We obviously, as I said, learned a lot in this process in terms of maybe trying to get more reassurance about the precision of the definition of what are…

Today, we vote on this bill that improves the Affordable Care Act by cutting the cost of healthcare for families at an unprecedented, anxious time in American life. More than 2.5 million Americans have been diagnosed with COVID-19. In the…

Just a few weeks ago, right before Memorial Day, President Trump very quietly, behind closed doors, vetoed this bill, a bill that protects a borrower defense rule, which was supported by a wide range of veteran service organizations. For…

the HEROES Act does two things. Number one, again, it requires that the States basically reopen their exchanges for special enrollment period. And, number two, it extends a 100 percent subsidy for COBRA so that, again, people who are…

I just want to begin by saying I am surprised to hear my good friend, Mr. Walberg, disparaging or dismissing the value of the HEROES Act provision for State and local assistance.

We know that we cannot open our schools safely without these additional funds.

If we know that we are going to aim to have our students come back to school safely, we have to change a lot of things.

Without that additional funding, we know that other school districts, like the one you just talked about, will absolutely have to lay off hundreds and hundreds of educators.

Reducing staff is really, isn't it the exact opposite of where we should be headed if we are trying to reduce class size and accommodate social distancing which CDC and all the public health officials are advising?

The Navy's force of SSNs is projected to experience a valley from the mid-2020s through the early 2030s.

I don't know if that was, you know, just an editorial comment or a question, but if anyone does want to weigh in on that, you know, you've got time.

There is no way to make up for submarines that were not built, but the impact of the coming trough can be mitigated.
