I thank the gentleman for his consideration. What I would like to add to this is that the Air Force tested CHAMP on that delivery vehicle--a successful test, as it may be--and the testimony from those combatant commanders, the guys in the…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Page 31, line 6, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $10,000,000) (increased by $10,000,000)''. The Acting CHAIR…

So much has been said. As I said earlier, I agree with a lot of what has been said. I will be honest with you, I am disappointed. I have sons that have been sent off to war for this Nation: two of them in Iraq at the same time and one in…

The question before the House is: Should the House now consider H. Res. 590? While the resolution waives all points of order against consideration of the bill, the committee is not aware of any points of order. All of the relevant…

House Resolution 590 provides for House consideration of two separate pieces of legislation. The first of these bills, H.R. 3361, the USA FREEDOM Act, will be considered for 1 hour under a closed rule. This legislation will prohibit the…

Like I said before, I don't disagree with a lot of what my friend from Massachusetts said. As we voted last time, we are not going to have the opportunity to do that this time. But I urge Members to vote ``yes'' on the question of…

I do not. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Florida does not yield. Therefore, the unanimous consent request cannot be entertained. ____________________

I want to thank my friend from Georgia (Mr. Woodall). We came in to this Congress together a couple of years back, and I have had the great opportunity to serve with him on the Rules Committee. And being placed on Armed Services last year…

Well, I appreciate that. I don't know that I am expert, but I certainly have the heart. I have the heart to make sure that America is safe. {time} 1430 It is a constitutional responsibility that this body make sure that we have a strong…

Well, Mr. Speaker, I am not an attorney. That is what they say on commercials when somebody wants to give some legal advice: I am not an attorney. What I will tell you from my past experience is that I can get attorneys' opinions on either…

I do not have any additional speakers, but go right ahead. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. This is a circus, and it is really sad that we are here on the floor debating this. Just for the record…

I love the comments about McCarthyism as it relates to this particular issue, but really, McCarthyism is the IRS. The IRS is targeting American citizens who have done nothing wrong, who merely wanted to express their freedom of expression…

It is just interesting to hear the argument on the other side. I have spent 37, 38 years protecting people's rights. That is what I did. As a sheriff, we did things and lived within the law. We answered questions truthfully. That is all we…

I do have to go back to the comments that my good friend from Massachusetts mentioned. Now, I wasn't here in 2008, but if you look back at the history, the Democrats controlled this body and the Rules Committee in 2008. When Congress…
