Iran continues to defy international law, continues to look for ways to evade sanctions, and continues to move closer toward weaponization.

I am opposed in its current form. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Deutch moves to recommit the bill H.R. 1904 to the Committee on Natural Resources with instructions to…

Bipartisan unity may be rare these days, but if there is one issue we have consistently come together on, it is the threat posed by a nuclear-armed Iran. That's why last year's body voted to enact tough new sanctions aimed at preventing…

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 and clause 9 of rule XX, this 15-minute vote on the motion to recommit H.R. 1904 will be followed by 5-minute votes on passage of H.R…

The current system incentivizes poverty. It forces seniors to blow through their life savings and spend down in order to qualify for Medicaid.

I would urge you to reconsider the--and--and realize the--the risk and consequences involved in the decision.

I am extremely concerned with the application of the department's formula to the Miami-Fort Lauderdale UASI in the state of Florida.

I would urge you in the strongest possible terms that you expand the Tier One funding to include Miami-Fort Lauderdale UASI.

I am also grateful to Mr. Pallone for his commitment to making the late Senator Kennedy's dream of dignity and hope for elderly, sick, and disabled Americans a reality.

We must seize this opportunity to get long-term care right in America. Together, I believe we can improve upon an incredibly promising idea: Reduce entitlement spending and ensure Americans' greater financial security.

The decision to expand Tier One is a decision made by your office.

It's not news that the majority refuses to address our jobs crisis. But passing time by attacking women's health is appalling. Despite Americans' overwhelming support for the American Jobs Act, today we have before us H.R. 358, a cruel…

The events of this week leave no doubt that the Iranian regime is expanding its presence, dangerously so, in the Western Hemisphere.

The Human Rights Council serves in this anti-Israel--pervasive anti-Israel bias need to be addressed.

the ABA has been opposed to mandatory minimums for 40 years

Saying that the UNFPA supports the one-child policy in China does not make it so.

the funding for Social Security comes from the payroll tax.

shouldn't we also be looking at the contribution limits of the payroll tax?

the honest point that is missing too often from the Social Security debate is that without doing a thing, Social Security will pay full benefits until 2037 if we do nothing.

I would like to understand, though, at a time when 50 percent of American households have no retirement savings, zero...

First of all, the Social Security system, as you know, functions now the way that it has functioned from the very beginning...

Dr. Holtz-Eakin, I think you said Social Security is broken. You said the program will implode. It is a disgrace, I think, as a social program.

I thank you, Mr. Crowley. The most important point to make right now in listening to you and listening to Mr. Cardoza and listening to the gentleman from California who spoke earlier from the other side, this is not a partisan issue. This…

Thank you for being here, Mr. Cardoza. It is my pleasure and honor to yield as much time as he may choose to utilize to my good friend from New York, Representative Joe Crowley.

I thank my friend from California. There are a lot of opportunities that we as Members have to participate in the process and to see the impact of the decisions that we make. The opportunity that we had to spend some time in the community…
