I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill, add the following new title: TITLE VII--OTHER MATTERS SEC. 7001. SHORT TITLE. This…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: In subtitle A of title IV, add at the end the following new chapter: CHAPTER 8--LOCAL ENERGY SUPPLY AND…

My amendment focuses on thermal energy and combined heat power, which are essential to a smart energy future for our country, but they are often overlooked components of our national energy supply. In the United States, up to 36 percent of…

I thank the chairman for supporting some of the goals contained in the amendment. This is not an open-ended loan program. This is very modest, only authorized for $250 million. The appropriators will probably scale that back. But what it…

I thank the gentleman from New York for his kind words and his leadership on this issue. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to this resolution that seeks to hamstring America's ability to combat carbon pollution and the impacts of the…

I thank the gentleman. All of these efforts are creating the jobs of tomorrow in clean energy, in engineering, in energy efficiency and green building. So, colleagues, I urge you to defeat this resolution. It is largely a symbolic vote. A…

If you are a consumer out there, the benefits are quite robust.

Isn't it interesting to--you should do that if you are ever here in Washington. Please go to an oral argument.

these huge investments are happening at a time when battery storage and renewable resources appear to be growing

As we continue to develop a greater understanding of the genetics of individuals who have a wide variety of diseases and conditions, we are moving away from one-size-fits-all medicine to more targeted and effective prevention strategies…

I thank Ranking Member Pallone for yielding the time. I rise in strong opposition to H.R. 702. The bill is an irresponsible giveaway to Big Oil at the expense of America's national security, at the expense of American consumers, and our…

Just to close, Mr. Chairman, the cost to U.S. consumers, our policy of energy independence, our national security interests compel a ``no'' vote on this bill.

The information that we're focused on now like a laser is what are they going to do to address these excess emissions and take this software off these vehicles, so that they comply.

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to this wasteful maneuver by Republicans in Congress to establish yet another investigative committee at a cost of untold millions of taxpayer dollars. It is…

The EPA issued a Notice of Violation against Volkswagen.

If we do not act: increases in property insurance in Florida, flood insurance--boy, that's really hitting home now.

The Clean Air Act is one of America's bedrock environmental protection laws, and it has been for over 40 years.

I believe EPA has developed a flexible carbon pollution reduction plan that is good for consumers, it's good the environment, it's good for the public health, and it will be good for our economy.

So for consumer protections, the ACA is working. We no longer have discrimination based upon a preexisting condition like a cancer diagnosis or diabetes.

Well, thank you, Mr. Chairman, for calling this hearing on the substantial reductions in the rate of uninsured Americans under the Affordable Care Act, and thank you to all the witnesses here today and what you are doing for families…

Again, the repeated references to these false videos do a real disservice to this Congress and to people all across America. The false claims against Planned Parenthood have been widely discredited. The videos that so many have referenced…

I am pleased to yield 30 seconds to the gentleman from Oregon (Mr. Blumenauer). (Mr. BLUMENAUER asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.)

The repeated reference to these false videos is a true disservice to this Congress and to the people all across America. These false claims against Planned Parenthood have been widely discredited. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the…

In fact, the press secretary for the agency said: ``I would have thought a line on no handling of fetal remains would be included, as that is what questions will be on.'' The agency's secretary wrote back, and she said she agreed…

May I inquire how much time is remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Florida has 2\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentlewoman from Tennessee has 3\3/4\ minutes remaining.
