I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Page 59, line 7, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $10,000)''. Page 150, line 9, after the dollar amount, insert…
We have got to get past this political correctness. We have got to start focusing on those who want to harm us.
I stated at that time that political correctness was going to kill people. I think it did in that case.
I think political correctness is going to kill more people if we don't stop it.
ObamaCare has not taken full effect yet, but it is already crippling our country and our economy: premiums are rising; businesses are shedding jobs; doctors and patients are constantly dealing with a third party making health care…
I don't think there is a hunter in this Nation that believes that poaching is hunting.
As a hunter who was first introduced to the sport by my dad when I was six years old, I am personally aware of the positive impacts of managed hunting in America as well as overseas.
Today's hearing is part of my effort to ensure that legal hunting is properly recognized for its positive impacts on domestic as well as international animal populations, as well as conservation in general.
I have personally experienced this. In fact, I was working in Pakistan on some wildlife management issues with Suleiman markhor...
Thank you, Mr. Wiley. I appreciate your testimony and the great job you all are doing in Florida.
If you can get us any data about how much the States spend out of those funds, it could be very helpful.
I think it is blatantly unfair to a hunter who goes and collects the trophy, spends his money, his time, and his energy and efforts, and those funds can be utilized in a management program, to be denied an import permit when those trophies…
Well, my good friend from California said this is a decrease in spending, but it's not. It's just keeping the spending at the current levels for 1 more year. It makes sense. We are in hard economic times as a nation. We're broke as a…
This amendment is very simple. It would reduce the proposed funding for salaries and expenses of the Congressional Research Service, or CRS, back to fiscal year 2012 levels this year. Mr. Chairman, we have to look at savings at every line…
I have an amendment at the desk. The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 22, line 9, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $878,000)''. Page 36, line 10, after the dollar…
Well, the gentleman did obviously direct remarks towards me. He pointed at me when he said: ``Why do you hate America so much?'' I love my country. I'm a U.S. marine. I'm trying to save my country from financial collapse. And that's what…
I yield to the gentleman for just one second. Mr. DeFAZIO. Well, give me four, maybe. I did not mean to direct the remark to you. It was a generic statement out of concern.
The gentleman from Oregon has 3 minutes remaining. Mr. DeFAZIO. Again, I wish this wasn't the dark of the night because this is a debate America should and would like to have. I'll reiterate: the United States Chamber of Commerce, with…
I am not sure where my friend gets his mathematics from, but it's certainly not in reality. I yield such time as he may consume to my friend, the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Jordan).
To begin with, I yield myself as much time as I may consume, and then I'll yield to my good friend, Mo Brooks from Alabama. But prior to yielding to Mr. Brooks, I want to say that my good friend, who I have utmost admiration and good…
My amendment eliminates all funding for the behavior detection officers and for the Screening of Passengers by Observation Techniques program, better known as the SPOT program. The SPOT program trains TSA behavior detection officers to…
I withdraw my request. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman's demand is withdrawn. The gentleman is recognized for the remaining 3 minutes. Mr. DeFAZIO. Mr. Speaker, if the gentleman would yield for one second.
I was just charged by this gentleman for hating America, and I challenge those words, and I ask that his words be taken down. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will be seated, and the Clerk will report the words.
May I inquire how much time remains on both sides. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Georgia has 10 minutes remaining, and the gentleman from Oregon has 8\1/2\ minutes remaining. Mr. Speaker, I want to say my friends from Oregon…
