There is no provision in this bill that requires States to go out and make the extra effort to enroll children who are eligible for either Medicaid or the current SCHIP program under its current authorization of up to 200 percent of…

My wife and I had the opportunity to take care of my mother and her parents in their later years for a period of about 8 1/2 years prior to their passage some 1 1/2 years ago. We were always aware of the danger that was posed by falls, and…

I rise to join my colleague in support of S. 793, the Traumatic Brain Injury Act of 2008. This legislation reauthorizes important grant programs, which assist States, territories, and the District of Columbia in establishing and expanding…

I do rise in support of H.R. 2063, the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Management Act of 2008. Many children face life-threatening food allergies which dramatically impact their lifestyles and make an ordinarily safe place like a school…

I have the honor today to rise in support of the memory of Army Sergeant Jason Robert Harkins by dedicating the United States Post Office located in Cleveland, Georgia, as the Sgt. Jason Harkins Post Office Building. It is, indeed, a sad…

well, here we are again. When the bill came up the first time, we had not had a chance to mark it up in the committee. We were not allowed amendments on the floor. And the process has been a take-it-or-leave-it because it appears that the…

today we are dealing with a bill that supposedly is a fix of the previous legislation that has been vetoed. We are all entitled to our opinion, but we should rely on a body that gives us the facts, and that is the Congressional Budget…

I would suggest there are five. First of all, we should put the poorest children at the front of the line. That means we should require States actually to enroll 90 percent of their SCHIP and Medicaid-eligible children under 200 percent of…

Under the current law, when a horse or a mule is deemed no longer fit for service in agencies such as the Border Patrol or Customs, the law requires that they either be turned out to pasture on Federal lands, where they usually are subject…

As we approach this topic of dealing with the ever-increasing problem of illegal immigration in this country, it is certainly one with many facets. But the one that I would like to address briefly tonight is the issue that relates to…

I too wish to express appreciation to the sponsor and all of those who have made it possible to bring this bill to the floor today. It is certainly altogether fitting and proper that we name this bill after the late Charlie Norwood. This…

as we close, I would simply reiterate what some others have said, thanking all of those within the Congress itself who have brought this bill to this point and hopefully to a finalization and sent to the President. Autism is an affliction…

Mr. Speaker, I rise to join Chairman Barton in support of S. 843, as amended, the Combating Autism Act of 2006. Although many of us would like to have done more sooner, the bill represents a positive step forward in addressing the serious…

I would, as I rise in support of this legislation, first of all express appreciation to Chairman Barton, who has previously spoken. Without his determination and hard work, we wouldn't be here tonight. It has been 3 long years, but he…

to conclude the debate, I would yield the remaining time to Dr. Weldon from Florida.

today, some 41 years after the first Voting Rights Act was passed by Congress, the facts that relate to infringements on voting have substantially changed. And here we are talking in this amendment about a portion of the Voting Rights Act…

No, I don't have time to yield. The Acting CHAIRMAN (Mr. Fossella). The gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Deal) controls the time. {time} 1400 With all due respect to my good friend, Mr. Scott, with whom I also served in the Georgia legislature…

the proposed legislation today, as has already been stated, has already received strong bipartisan support as it unanimously passed the Senate, and likewise, passed the Energy and Commerce Committee of the House. The bill makes several…

I have one final speaker. I am pleased to yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. McCaul). Mr. McCAUL of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of this resolution to fight childhood cancer. I would like to especially…

I too yield back and urge the adoption of the resolution. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Deal) that the House suspend the rules and agree to the resolution, H. Res. 323, as…

that also includes the right to conclude; is that correct? The Acting CHAIRMAN. That is correct.

I believe I have 30 seconds remaining, and I would have the right to close. I would reserve it with no other speakers that I intend to use.

Surely as our ranking member on the the Health Subcommittee, you know on dual eligibles they are signed up under the program, as the law provides. So dual eligibles are included. Mr. Speaker, I will reclaim my time. The gentleman has more…

unless there is someone in opposition to it, I would claim the time in opposition, even though I am not opposed to it. I am not sure that Mr. Waxman and I are on the same position on the amendment.
