This amendment is nearly identical to an amendment that passed by voice vote last year. I hope we will agree on its passage again this year.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 73, line 3, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $468,000)(increased by $468,000)''. The…

When I look at these resolutions regarding Abkhazia, South Ossetia, the bill regarding the Ukraine and the Crimea, what is missing to me is a sense of respect for the wishes of the people involved.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Florida will be postponed. Amendment No. 13 Offered by Mr. Kildee The Acting CHAIR. It is…

Reclaiming my time, I appreciate my friend from New Jersey answering those questions. I would maintain that the simpler answer is that abortion is not murder; it is not the taking of human life. I yield 1 minute to my colleague from New…
