Wendy Sherman

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I will speak longer than I usually do on these bills because I both want to persuade people to support the bill and also provide important information to the entire House that will be part of the…

I will read it so that it is before the entire House. ``It is the intent of this legislation to provide the Securities and Exchange Commission with the discretion necessary to determine how much of a company's total audit must be performed…

There is virtually no issue today in national security that does not have a climate dimension.

I think that we've heard from President-Elect Biden that he sees climate as a global issue. And I know among my graduate students it really is issue number one. They understand that it is part of the reason why we have the COVID pandemic…

I think he sees that in Putin, he sees that in MBS, in Mohammad Bin Salman, and he sees that in Kim Jong-un, and any other leader that appears to have control over their country. That's not the U.S. democracy. That's not what we want. I…

John R. Lewis honored us with his presence on this floor for over 3 decades. That a man of such courage and such accomplishment would dedicate so much of his life to this House confirmed the decision of all of us to give up our private…

Four amendments, the first delists from U.S. stock exchanges companies where a substantial portion of the audit is not subject to normal oversight by the PCAOB. This is not an anti- China amendment, though it will affect companies in China…

I have an amendment at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: On page 35, line 16, strike ``calendar'' and insert ``legislative''. The amendment was agreed to. The bill was…

Our work now is to negotiate a new relief bill. So far we have spent trillions of dollars bandaging our economic wounds, yet less than one-half of 1 percent has gone to beat the disease through research on therapeutics and prophylaxes. All…

Having no further speakers, I yield myself such time as I may consume for the purpose of closing. The bill before us represents a number of different bills in the Senate and the House, all of which have been blended together. All of these…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3 of House Resolution 965, the yeas and nays are ordered. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question are postponed…

By tradition, the dean of the respective State delegation introduces new Members from their State at a swearing in after a special election. Our dean, the dean of the California delegation, is also the Speaker of the House. And while I…

In all of our bills, virtually all the money goes to bandage the economic wounds. We need a greater focus on beating the disease. Workers need paid sick days so they will stay home if they are sick, even if they work for an employer with…

We need to shift from the economic to the biological focus on defeating this disease. Everyone should wear a mask, including you, Mr. President, whenever you might be within 6 feet. And we need to provide free masks to the homeless and…

This virus is a machine gun machine-gunning America. This bill provides $2 trillion to bandage some of the wounds. We must stop the machine gun. Less than 1 percent of this bill goes for medical research. Our economic system provides…

Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 83 and ``yea'' on rollcall No. 84. ____________________

Regarding the Panetta Amendment, had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 63. Amendment No. 6 Offered by Mr. Westerman The Acting CHAIR. The unfinished business is the demand for a recorded vote on the amendment…

This resolution imposes extraordinary restrictions on this President, an extraordinary President who needs extraordinary restrictions. This is best exemplified by the President's gratuitous comment that he would hit cultural sites in Iran…

Robert Mueller lays out facts from 2017 that constitute Obstruction of Justice but says the President cannot be indicted, only Congress can apply the law to those facts. Many of us have been talking about impeachment since those facts…

For the purpose of closing. We vote today on S. 1838, but this is not just a Senate bill. This is a bill very similar to the one introduced in this House by the gentleman from New Jersey. This House has already voted on this bill and…

I will close when the gentleman has closed on his side, and I reserve the balance of my time.

For the purpose of closing. Mr. Speaker, we have watched as the Chinese Communist Party works to break down and undermine the ``one country, two systems'' framework that has paved the way for a strong relationship between Hong Kong and the…

Members of this House will remember that, just a few months ago, we passed very similar legislation in the House to the bill that is in front of us today. Mr. Speaker, I yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern)…

I thank the gentleman for yielding, and this is, indeed, a bipartisan speech. The fact is that many other countries have recognized this genocide, and they have done so under tremendous Turkish pressure. For example, France was told that…

After decades of struggle, this House will recognize the Armenian genocide just in time for it to be seen by the last few survivors of the first genocide of the 20th century. We should have recognized that genocide again and again long…
