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…

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…

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

For the purpose of closing. The people of Hong Kong have the right to peaceably assemble without fear of violence. They need to know that their friends in the United States are not providing tools of the violent repression being used…

In the remaining few seconds, let me deal with another subject. Mark Zuckerberg has announced that he's going to introduce a cryptocurrency, or his plans to do so. The effect would be to undermine our economy by reducing the importance of…

I will simply say that looking at the fact that we have invested $30 billion in our relationship with Pakistan, I cannot think of a better investment than for us to provide $500,000, and, I hope, as we go through the legislative process…

In closing, I want to commend the sponsors of this legislation and the leadership of our committee. I urge an ``aye'' vote, and I point out that this bill received a unanimous bipartisan voice vote in our committee, and I yield back the…

I am pleased to be an original cosponsor of this measure, and I thank Ambassador Wagner and Representative Crowley for their work. This bill will equip our government with the tools to better monitor and, hopefully, prevent genocide. It…

In closing, I want to reiterate the importance of conservation in combating the scourge of wildlife trafficking around the world. This bill reaffirms our commitment to these goals and will result in a strategy to encourage sustainable…

We would catch up with Spain and Norway and Denmark and Japan and really have a tax system where you don't have to keep track of all the little pieces of paper that the IRS already has, and you wouldn't have to interpret them and figure…

I commend our committee chairman for an outstanding speech. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Gottheimer).

Finally, Mr. Zandi, one of the top economists in the country, testified before our Financial Services Committee that this bill means double-digit declines in the value of homes in American metropolitan areas. What effect does that have on…

I urge an ``aye'' vote. Since I have no speakers seeking time on my side, I yield back the balance of my time.

In closing, this bill is an important step in confronting North Korea's support for terrorism around the world. We should not stand idle while North Korea engages in terrorism, including kidnappings, target assassinations, cyber attacks…

I would note that this bill passed our committee without any opposition. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

I regret to inform the House that my predecessor, Anthony ``Tony'' C. Beilenson, died over the weekend. Anthony Beilenson was known for integrity, civility, intelligence, courage, and a willingness to work across the aisle, even when that…

I salute the author of this resolution, Representative Rangel, and urge its adoption. I yield back the balance of my time.

This resolution reaffirms longstanding American policy that can be summarized in five points: talks must be direct and bilateral; a solution cannot be imposed on the parties; both sides must be willing to make important compromises…

I agree that internationalization and partnering with international jurisdictions to go after Iran's dangerous and concerning ballistic missile activities is certainly a strong direction for the sanctions program.

Seeing as I have no additional speakers, I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 4403, the Enhancing Overseas Traveler Vetting Act. I yield back the balance of my time.

I commend the gentleman from Texas for his speech and the gentleman from Nebraska who spoke earlier for his introduction of this resolution, along with my colleague, Anna Eshoo, from California. And, of course, I commend Chris Smith for a…

Reclaiming my time, Mr. Chairman, this bill will be going through the legislative process. It is important that we improve the Operation Choke Point provisions. I have enjoyed working with the gentleman from Missouri, and I hope that he…
