Eleanor Holmes Norton

Could I make a parliamentary inquiry? The Acting CHAIR. The Chair will first respond to the inquiry of the gentleman from Texas. The time of the gentleman may be extended in the Committee of the Whole only by unanimous consent.

I ask the Chair: Is it true that there will be no more Members heard on this issue after 5:40?

We have here one for the books. The Democrats offer a 100 percent private-sector solution to the most costly health care crisis affecting the American people, and Republicans want to repeal it. This is going to go down in history. The…

There has been no remedy to give the Justice Department the tools it needs to prosecute straw purchasers or gun trafficking.

Could I make an inquiry at this time? The Acting CHAIR. Does the gentleman have a futher inquiry?

The President's patience had been quite exhaustive.

Somebody's going to have to, 'call the Senate's bluff.'

I thank the gentleman from Illinois. This compromise only reminds me of how much I regret that he has decided to retire. He was such a valuable chair of our subcommittee and member of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. I can…

So, in winding up the bill, I ask that we keep in mind the fact that a very fragile compromise has been reached to allow the three other airports in this region and the economic assumptions involved to divide up the air traffic as has been…

I do not agree that people have the same ability as the market has to simply walk away, and that would be a very dangerous thing to do.

Nothing of the sort.

Congresswoman Norton strongly opposes H.R. 938, because the bill would confiscate the District of Columbia War Memorial.

I hope Mr. Cordray will give some priority to the service members who have been victims of the abuses by mortgage servicers.

I wish that that were the case all the time. What we had here was a set of young people who, like the Arab spring, have found a new way to organize and I think will be giving you a lot of help in consumer protection.

I would like to conclude with--Eleanor Holmes Norton, our delegate, has introduced a House resolution, 346.

The President confronted an attempt to nullify the possibility of recess appointments, which are perfectly constitutional.

This is not a country where we talk about people and do not invite them to defend themselves.

Is it not true that the District of Columbia, the Mayor and the City Council, while they have raised concerns about health and safety matters, the Mayor has asked for some change in where the occupation is taking place, that neither the…

If anything, I believe we facilitate it like no other city in the United States and I want to continue to do so.

Resolved, that it is the sense of the House of Representatives that, one, the District of Columbia War Memorial should remain a memorial dedicated solely to the residents of the District of Columbia who served in World War I.

The best way to get slapped down is to get an ironclad rule written into law that then goes up to the courts and up to the Supreme Court.

There are legitimate questions being raised here in the District of Columbia. The Federal Government has always cooperated well in order to handle them.

I want to thank the police, the various police departments for their approach to seeking compliance.

Freedom is not an absence of uniform rules.

If that money is drawn down, it can be paid for as it is always paid for because this is the Nation's Capital.
