We spoke on the amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.

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.

I think we have discussed some of the issues in this bill. I think it is a very positive bill. It supports our allies, and it confronts our adversaries. It also controls wasteful spending. Wasteful spending is one of the reasons we have…

I want to be very clear that I have heard now that somehow this bill damages the reputation of the United States. No. Do you know what damaged the reputation of the United States, Mr. Chairman? That irresponsible withdrawal from…

I respectfully rise in opposition. The gentleman from Arizona brings up, I think, really legitimate reasons for his concern about the out-of-control spending and, frankly, what this administration has done. However, because of that, the…

In just a few hours, the Biden administration will end the enforcement of title 42. This administration estimates that we could see 13,000 immigrant encounters per day at the border. So clearly, allowing title 42 to end with no plan to…

Title 42 is a critical tool to manage the crisis at the southern border. It is hard to believe that the Biden administration claims that the termination of title 42 would actually decrease the number of encounters at the border. This is…

I claim time in opposition. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Florida is recognized for 5 minutes.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Michigan will be postponed. Amendments En Bloc No. 8 Offered by Ms. DeLauro of Connecticut…

Let's be clear, this is not the time to provide unilateral concessions to a designated state sponsor of terrorism. This amendment is simply a bailout for the anti-American terrorist regime of Cuba, a regime that brutally oppresses the…

Inflation is at a 40-year high. Contrary to what some say, we cannot address inflation by spending more money-- by continuing to spend more and more money. Instead, we need an agreement that reduces excessive spending that balances defense…

As the dean of the Florida delegation, I have the honor of welcoming Representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick of Florida's 20th District to the United States House of Representatives. Our new colleague will fill the seat of my late dear…

To Ranking Member Green, also to my friend also from Florida (Mr. Deutch) in particular, and to my good friend Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, I thank you for your leadership. Mr. Speaker, on the 11th of July, the Cuban people went…

For more than 2 weeks, we have seen the horrors of repression taking place on the island of Cuba by the communist regime. Let me tell you, I am outraged that the Democratic majority refused to make in order two amendments, bipartisan…

The people of Cuba are standing up for freedom, and they are suffering horrific consequences for it. They are getting murdered in the streets by the regime. They are getting killed in the streets by the regime. And what they are asking for…

I offer a privileged resolution and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 312 Resolved, That the House has heard with profound sorrow of the death of the Honorable Alcee L. Hastings, a…

It is my solemn duty to rise today on behalf of the Florida delegation as we continue to grieve the passing of our colleague and our friend, Alcee Hastings of Florida. Congressman Alcee Hastings was more than a colleague; he was a dear…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. I also thank the chair, Mrs. Lowey, for her long career helping working men and women throughout the Nation. I thank Chairman Price for working with me on the transportation and housing title of this…

Let me start by thanking Chairwoman Lowey and Ranking Member Granger for their leadership. A lot has been said about Chairwoman Lowey, and I don't want to repeat myself, but the bottom line is: You are one class act, and you will be sorely…

I urge defeat of the previous question so that we can amend, as the gentleman just explained the rule, to immediately consider my resolution condemning Senator Sanders' blatantly false comment regarding the racist, terrorist, murderous…

Why would they do this if things in Cuba are just not all that bad? Again, in contrast, during the pre-Castro Cuba, more Americans were traveling to Cuba and going to Cuba than Cubans coming to the United States. Today, now, Madam Speaker…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, today we stand in support of the international day of commemoration in the memory of those victims of the Holocaust. January 27 is also the day, again, 75 years ago, when Auschwitz was…

I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 5. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Ms. DelBene). The question is on the resolution. The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that the…

I thank the gentleman from Colorado for yielding. I rise today to strongly support this bipartisan bill. You have heard today that, for decades, Congress has been talking about the broken H-2A system, the system that our farmers use to get…

I also rise in support of this continuing resolution. As an appropriator, and you have heard it from all of us, this is not the best choice--it is not our first choice--to do continuing resolutions. But this short-term CR is necessary to…
