At this time it gives me great pride to yield 5 minutes to my chairman, the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Ryan).

At this time it pleases me to be able to yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Lankford), one of my freshman colleagues, a leader on the committee.

At this time, just for the sake of clarity for the American people, I'd like to yield 2 minutes again to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Culberson).

To say to my colleague who just spoke, I've introduced a bill in this House that not only repeals the Bush tax cuts, the Obama tax cuts, and every tax break for every multinational corporation and every special interest favor and every…

At this time, I'd like to yield 2 minutes to a real leader for fiscal responsibility on the Budget Committee, the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Cole).

At this time I'd like to yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Gohmert) who has been battling in the trenches over this idea for a number of years and whom I'm just as pleased as can be that his idea has come to fruition today.

I very much thank my friend from Georgia for yielding. I just want to tell him how proud I am of him for bringing this legislation forward. I know he doesn't need my accolades; but this is the kind of commonsense material that I ran on and…

To say I'm a few years younger than my friend from Florida. I didn't get the benefit of the ``Let's Pretend'' radio program that he had in his day, but I feel like I've had a little dose of ``Let's Pretend'' here on the floor today. {time}…

To again find areas of agreement with my colleagues. I, too, don't know what will happen with the very fine piece of legislation we sent to the Senate yesterday. If experience is any indicator, it will sit there and do nothing, as have all…

I always enjoy listening to my friend from New Jersey because inevitably I agree with about the first six things he says. All of the facts on which he bases his conclusions, I agree on. And I just reach a completely different set of…

To just really take a moment to think about the doublespeak here in Washington, D.C. That's been the biggest adjustment since having the great privilege of being a Member in this U.S. House of Representatives. What my friend from Florida I…

I'm happy to be down here with you today, and for the purpose of debate only I yield the customary 30 minutes to my good friend from Florida (Mr. Hastings). General Leave

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 534 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 534 Resolved, That upon the adoption of this resolution it shall be in order…

I have got energy on my mind tonight too. It's a wonder, or I should say it's not a wonder, that everybody who comes to the floor of the House has this common theme, Mr. Speaker, that we have an economy that's in trouble, we have a…

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I appreciate the time. I appreciate your giving me a moment to set up my charts, because I've got some pretty ones down here, and I'm sorry you can't see them, Mr. Speaker. I've got here the White House. The White…

I thank my friend. I hope folks were paying close attention. What you have are two members of the freshman class on the floor right now, Mr. Speaker, and what you heard from my freshman colleague was, when can we come together? What you…

I thank my colleague from South Carolina for yielding. He knows just how excited I am to be down here today. He knows how excited I am because, unlike what my colleague from New York suggests about accepting how the world is, today's a day…

I thank you for the time this afternoon. It's been a big day, freshmen in this body coming up on the end of our very first year. In fact, all of us here, here with my colleague from Wisconsin, all of us here, freshmen, finishing up our…

I had not intended to address the House this afternoon, but it has been a painful thing for me to listen to this debate today. I'm a freshman in this body, and my understanding was when I showed up here that we would work here and that the…

I thank my chairman for yielding the time, and I want to thank my chairman for his work on opening this process up in the House. He's teamed up with our new Speaker to say that regular order is the better way to do things. I want to say…

I very much appreciate the time. I want to get to tax policy here in just a moment, but I want to take just a few minutes, having just passed the appropriations bill for fiscal year 2012, to talk about how long that's been. Now, Mr…

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 312, noes 94, answered ``present'' 1, not voting 26, as follows: [Roll…

I thank you for the time. You know, for folks who aren't accustomed to seeing what you and I just saw, I think that's quite a treat. In about--what does it turn out to be? In about 45 minutes, we've had the majority leader for the…

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 477 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 477 Resolved, That upon the adoption of this resolution it shall be in order…

For the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to my friend from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern), pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is for the…
