Congressman Young was an extraordinary public servant whose legacy of caring for his constituents and veterans will not soon be forgotten.

For more than four decades, Congressman Young championed legislation to improve the lives of Floridians and all Americans and never hesitated to reach across the aisle to find common ground.

As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, I rise in opposition to this, the 43rd attempt to defund, delay, or undermine the Affordable Care Act by House Republicans. What is even more disturbing is that this latest attempt comes…

Thank you very much to my cocaptain, the gentlelady from West Virginia, and to all of our sisters on the Congressional Women's Softball team. The gentlelady from West Virginia is absolutely right; we may not always agree in the boundaries…

Thank you, Ranking Member Price. First, let me commend both Chairman Carter and Ranking Member Price on a strong, bipartisan bill. But let me especially recognize their leadership for adding language to this legislation to protect our most…

I rise with grave concerns over the continuing resolution that we are considering today. While we all support any effort to prevent a government shutdown, we await a bill from the Senate that hopefully treats domestic and defense bills…

I have always pushed Open World to increase its fund-raising from nongovernmental sources.

Our difficulty on this subcommittee is to prioritize these essential projects, and Open World, given its odd fit in the legislative branch, presents a major challenge for us.

The Open World Leadership Center's request of $10 million is equal to the fiscal year 2012 level, which is somewhat surprising, given the fiscal difficulties that we are having.

In the smallest appropriations bill, particularly in the midst of sequestration on top of that, it is even more difficult to find whatever scraps are left on the table for a program like this one, in my opinion.

They're cutting the seniors that they deliver meals to back by one meal a day because of the sequester cuts.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise today in support of this comprehensive and bipartisan effort to end violence against women. The Violence Against Women Act recently passed by the Senate properly updates this crucial legislation for the 21st…

How do you work towards that without a plan? You are only just now realizing that that is a good idea? This is unfathomable to me.

More cuts to GAO are the embodiment of the phrase 'pennywise and pound foolish.'

Note to self: Bring both books.

Obviously, a lot of people have been frustrated, naturally, by the door closures and the longer lines that are the results of sequestration.

Counting in-kind contributions toward your private fund-raising total presumes that you would have been appropriated those funds.

It is important for us to not allow the sequester to come in, to kick in, because indiscriminate across-the-board cuts are not the responsible approach.

I am concerned about further slippage. And, you know, I am not willing to just sign off on, you know, more funds being released for this project until there is a better handle on the timeline.

We are still dealing with the system that the Capitol Police has that has interoperability challenges. And I mean, it is 2013.

Good, good. I just want to make sure just, you know, it is personal.

I do. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

So wouldn't you have sequester-related requests that would add to your workload?

But just because there hasn't been any challenge doesn't mean that it was a right or that we had the authority as the House of Representatives to intervene.

Now, it is no longer a coal-fired power plant, and a lot of the credit goes to Ms. Wasserman Schultz that you are using gas-fired now, and you are going to go to cogeneration.
