I thank the chairman for his support, and I thank Mr. Larson for his engagement on this issue. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 3784, a bill I introduced called the Improving Social Security's Service to Victims of Identity…

On Roll Call No. 355, I mistakenly voted NAY when I intended to vote YEA. personal explanation Mr. KILDEE. Madam Speaker, I was unable to attend votes due to a doctor's appointment. Had I been present, I would have voted NAY on Roll Call…

President Biden's recent budget does nothing to address the pending exhaustion of the trust fund.

The gentleman from Florida just characterized the child tax credit piece of this bill, which is something that President Trump signed into law, as giving people who are here illegally a check. I hate to see that mischaracterization from my…

I have partnered with Ranking Member Larson to reintroduce the Improving Social Security Service to Victims of Identity Theft Act.

This common-sense bill would allow Social Security Administration to issue a new Social Security number to children aged 14 and under if their Social Security number has been compromised by theft of their Social Security number.

I think that this committee has the opportunity, number one, to work together in a bipartisan way because we ultimately believe that the solution to Social Security and the insolvency and to making sure that the beneficiaries receive their…

Can you provide a report to this body that will explain why the IRS has purchased so much nine millimeter ammunition?

I still don't get the fact that under the Constitution the power of taxation lies with Congress, and yet you are negotiating U.S. tax policy.

I will tell you, I have said this, and I think I said this the last time you were here. We are about making America the most competitive place in the world to do business.

Americans, really--over the years, of all of the alphabet agencies up here, they tend to fear the letters I-R-S more than most.

I can tell you that Congress isn't in favor of this.

I am honored today to stand here to honor our dear friend, Jackie Walorski, and her tireless efforts on this piece of legislation, the Jackie Walorski Maternal and Child Home Visiting Reauthorization Act of 2022. This legislation is…

One final thing. Leader Hoyer made an announcement this summer that we were going to try to close votes in a timely fashion. As we have just seen, it is virtually impossible to do it with proxy voting because these four votes took almost 2…

I rise for the purpose of inquiring of the Democratic Caucus chair the schedule for the week to come. I yield to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Jeffries).

I ask my colleague if he is aware of any other additional authorizing text that may be attached to the continuing resolution.

Reclaiming my time. We are failing miserably in American energy independence, with the rise of home heating costs and fuel. We see what has happened to our neighbors in the European Union. We see the rising costs. Certainly, Americans are…

Reclaiming my time. The President ended the pandemic, declared that it was over. If that is the case, shouldn't we be going back to normal, Mr. Speaker? Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman.

We have seen movement in the Senate. I understand that there is activity over there. Does the gentleman have an update on when we might see that legislation in the House? But more importantly when we might see legislative text?

Reclaiming my time. Clearly, we see some of these important issues differently. Just sticking to the main question of proxy voting and why Members of Congress should not show up to do their job. American businesses are. We can campaign in…

I think America expects Congress to lead, and we are seeing, again, across the Nation, people get back to their lives, get back to normal. Certainly, there are many safe precautions that have been taken. But clearly, showing up to work is…

By direction of the Republican Conference, I send to the desk a privileged resolution and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 1197 Resolved, That the following named Members be, and are…

I thank my colleague from Virginia for yielding. Madam Speaker, while I do, in fact, support his amendment, I would also like to speak for just a minute on the previous amendment offered to H.R. 7666, the BIG Act. We have seen over the…
