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…
