I want to associate myself with my colleague's remarks and simply close with this. It is important to revisit the context of how we brought this up tonight. We are one nation. The President, the Congress, we are united as Americans, as…

I appreciate the gentleman's comments. It can't be lost in this conversation about the pending address from the Prime Minister. As we mentioned, the security of Israel in a very volatile region, it is a region that is the center of much of…

I appreciate the opportunity tonight to address a very important matter regarding the role of the Congress. And I would associate myself with the remarks of my colleague from New York (Mr. Tonko) about the role that this body plays in…

I would like to thank my colleague from Washington. I rise today to join my colleagues in paying tribute to law enforcement, recognizing their service each and every day. I had an opportunity a few weeks ago on this floor to thank and to…

In our remaining time, I would like to revisit another topic--it is one on which I think the solutions on our side of the aisle reflect the will of the people that we saw at the ballot box in November--and that is border security. {time}…

I appreciate the opportunity to address the House and to address the country this afternoon and to do so with colleagues of mine from Alabama (Mr. Byrne) and from Illinois (Mr. Davis) to draw a contrast between the view of government…

I appreciate this time. I hope what the American people have seen and our colleagues have seen is a Congress with solutions. We will be passing through this House border security solutions, a homeland security solution. Frankly, addressing…

This past December, the community of Pinellas County, Florida--indeed, the Nation--lost an American hero, William M. Allen. Bill Allen was 83 years old and had served in the United States Army from 1949 to 1953 as a sergeant, Charlie…

How much time is remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Florida has 3 minutes remaining.

With that, I yield to a real leader in this institution, a colleague of ours from the great State of Alabama, Mr. Bradley Byrne.

You bring much education experience as a layperson but also somebody with very specific political convictions. The President talked about free community college. And as an example, he used two local areas that now provide it. Well, I think…

I thank my colleague from the State of Washington. Today, on Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, I would like to yield to a champion supporter of law enforcement, the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Byrne).

I have no further speakers for this time. With that, I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________

I thank my colleague from Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise today as well to say thank you to law enforcement officers throughout Pinellas County, Florida, and across the Nation. Thank you for your service and thank you for your sacrifice. And…

I appreciate the time, and I would like to claim this time to spend a few moments on the floor of this House to express the appreciation of myself and my colleagues to those who serve every day in our law enforcement community. There is no…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 5059, legislation to improve mental health and suicide prevention services for our Nation's veterans. Across the country today, there are families grieving, remembering…

You can't actually have both, because if the stock is rebuilding, we are not overfishing.

Once again, the President's health care plan, known to the Nation as ObamaCare, is in the news, both because it is open season for individuals to choose their level of health care coverage, but also because of the now-made-public…

Put a choice card in the hand of every veteran and let them control their health care.

We will be asked as a Congress later today to vote on authorization of the President's request to arm Syrian rebels. I rise this morning to oppose the President's request, and I do so with a heart of conviction that says we must do more to…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Speaker, I am one of the newest Members, and I have to tell you it is amusing to find the paradox on the other side of the aisle that, yesterday, we were being criticized for not considering a bill. Today, we…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 4450, legislation to reauthorize the public-private program that is often known as Brand USA. This is a bill that was passed unanimously by the subcommittee and by voice…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition, respectfully, to this motion not because anybody here opposes expanded access to care. I believe we all do. But I oppose it today because it interferes, I believe, with the…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Madam Chairwoman, I yield back the balance of my time. Amendment Offered by Mr. Nugent

Woman, I rise for the purpose of entering into a colloquy with Chairman Wolf, someone I have great respect for, and I compliment him on a bill that he has prepared, along with the ranking member. I prepared an amendment at the desk this…
