I urge my colleagues to support this legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentlewoman from the District of Columbia (Ms. Norton) that the House suspend…

The D.C. statehood bill will receive a hearing in the Senate, and I expect the date to be announced today. I appreciate that our D.C. statehood bill has already passed the House, and I thank the House. Our hearings and House passage have…

the loss of lives and property could have been avoided, at least some of it, if the D.C. National Guard had been called out early enough to do its job.

Even more appalling is how the--along with the Purdue executives, that the Purdue executives systematically targeted vulnerable populations to make a profit.

Mattel's decision not to take Dr. Benaroch's warning seriously seems to me to be inexcusable.

It also demonstrates why it is important that we repeal section 6(b) of the Consumer Product Safety Act.

We know that mistakes were made from the beginning, that Mattel did not consult a pediatrician, when it was designing Rock 'n Play, to confirm that it was safe.

The notion that one cannot disclose danger of a product of this kind without the consent of the manufacturer is something the committee needs to look into.

I also appreciate that the appropriations bill would mirror two of my bills, prohibiting the use of funds in the bill to install permanent aboveground fencing at the Capitol complex, and requiring Capitol Police officers to wear body…

I believe we need structural reforms, like H.R. 3, if are going to bring any relief to patients about the price increases.

AbbVie's repeated price increases of Humira have had costs to our health system with millions of dollars, and are simply unsustainable going forward.

These families can never recover from this kind of impact...

We have been hearing about losing a parent to childbirth and how devastating it is to families, and that too many African-American families are forced to endure this trauma.

I'm urging all my colleagues to support this bill to protect the employees who are courageous enough to come forward.

I thank my good friend, the gentlewoman, for her leadership on this D.C. statehood bill. Congress has both the moral obligation and the constitutional authority to pass H.R. 51. This country was founded on the principles of no taxation…

We need our own senators to help me get things done in the Senate.

I think you ought to ask Maryland.

I think we are well on our way to statehood.

all we needed during the Capitol was not even statehood. It was to give the District control over its own National Guard.

I thank my good friend for yielding and for his support of H.R. 51. The rule before us is not ordinary. It is the prelude to history, and I use that word advisedly. Last Congress, the House passed the D.C. statehood bill, the first time…
