My congressional district is really ground zero when it comes to global warming and climate change.
And our ability, as Members of Congress, to be able to address crises and emergency provisions?
I would just underscore how important it is to continue to press Iran for their assertion, which has no credibility whatsoever, that they have absolutely no idea where he is or anything to do with his disappearance.
I want to first just recognize that next month marks the ninth year of anguish for Robert Levinson's family.
Our nominee will be for working families and helping people reach the middle class and the Republicans will continue to double down on the extremism that we saw tonight.
The misogyny that was on full display, that not a single one of the other Republican candidates for president criticized or called Donald Trump on.
That just is emblematic, Anderson, of the chaos that continues to rule in the Republican Party today.
Well, I mean, no. Right out of the starting gate, you know, Chris Wallace asked all the candidates to raise their hand and rule out running as an independent. And the only one that wouldn't rule it out is Donald Trump.
To close, Mr. Chairman, the bottom line is that what would be fiscally responsible and responsible in general is to not further take a meat ax to a bill that has already been flat- funded for the last 3 years. Our employees deserve a…
May I inquire how much time I have remaining? The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Florida has 15 seconds remaining.
I claim time in opposition to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Florida is recognized for 5 minutes.

I am wondering whether that app was privately produced or was produced by taxpayers. As for the $1.99 that you spent on it, were those taxpayer dollars you used to pay for it or from your own personal funds?
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 Texas will be postponed. Amendment No. 2 Offered by Mr. Flores The Acting CHAIR. It is now…
Can you tell me how much time we have remaining? The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Florida has 1\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from Texas has 30 seconds remaining.
I claim the time in opposition. The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Florida is recognized for 5 minutes.
At this time, I yield 5 minutes to the distinguished gentleman from California (Mr. Farr).
At this time, I yield such time as she may consume to the distinguished gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. Lowey), the ranking member of the full Appropriations Committee as well as the ranking member of the State, Foreign Operations, and…
So it is--again, we are nowhere near where we need to be, but we are in a much--there is much more of a top-down commitment from the U.N. bureaucracy.
I think our embassies can put also--and our DATs, our defense attaches, can be engaging in, again, encouraging that kind of recruitment.
The murder, for lack of a better term, of Alberto Nisman puts quite a crimp in the opportunity to make sure that we can more specifically get to the bottom of the perpetrators.
