we also got to protect our homeowners.

I would like to first start out by thanking you for the 12 storm shelters that FEMA has provided to Forrest County in the State of Mississippi.

But that is the kind of thing that I think--that I think Dutch was talking about and I would like to see because it shows me the bang for our buck going forward.

It was very impressive. If you guys were part of it, I don't know.

We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges. We have what is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them.

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the compromise appropriations package that includes major wins for our national security and our economic success. In fact, this move tonight will authorize…

I thank the gentlewoman from Indiana for yielding, and I appreciate this opportunity to speak for life. Mr. Speaker, I rise today because there are actually elected leaders in this country, in the United States of America, who believe a…

I represent northeast Florida, three coastal counties: Nassau, Duval, and St. Johns, which happens to house the oldest city in America in St. Augustine.

But even with those, nobody missed a payment and nobody was put on the street. Not a single man, woman, or child was put on the street because of this.

I was a little concerned to see that this program wasn't funded in this budget and that it had been zeroed out.

I would just like to see a more modernized--I mean, we have some steam engines that are still out there.

I just joined the American flooding--or the American Flood Caucus, because I am so concerned about this.

I thank the ranking member, Ms. Granger, for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I am sad to again rise in opposition to this bill. It is now 27 days into this shutdown and almost 1 million people are out of work, and we are still bringing bills to the…

I thank the ranking member for yielding. Madam Chair, I rise again today in opposition to the political ultimatum that has poisoned this bill. I had anticipated that I would support Chairwoman Lowey's proposal to provide disaster relief to…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle are calling the situation at the southern border a manufactured crisis. What a heartless and naive thing to say. Tell that to the families of…

I first want to thank the gentlewoman for her comments and for her hard work on this resolution. I also want to thank Chairman Sessions for bringing this forward today. I want to encourage all of my colleagues here to vote in the…

I thank the minority leader for her comments on this issue and strong bipartisan support for human rights, not only in Tibet but all over the globe. Really, this is a great moment, I think, for this body. I will repeat again that it is…
