I thank the gentleman from Texas for pulling this together and for yielding. I recognize the admonishment from the Speaker. I don't think, though, that we are constrained from raising objection when the President of the United States…

I thank the chairman for yielding to me and for the work that he has done to pull together this bill over these last 2 years. There is much that I'm hearing on this floor so far in this debate that I do not disagree with. There is much…

I thank the gentleman from California for yielding. And I regret I didn't have that opportunity to sit down and talk to the gentlelady from Ohio regarding this dredging that's taking place in the Missouri River bottom in my district, in my…

We have a situation that exists in Iowa, Nebraska, and Missouri that I know of along the Missouri River, which I've represented the entire stretch along Iowa. It's an attempt to save the endangered species known as the pallid sturgeon, and…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: At the end of the bill, before the short title, insert the following: Sec. _. None of the funds made available in this act…

Reclaiming my time, I thank the gentleman from Texas. I just think of Congressman Phil Gingrey, another doctor that engages in policy here, who once on this floor, probably at least once, said that when he is working in the emergency room…

I thank the gentlelady from Minnesota. Reclaiming my time, I would be happy to yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Gohmert).

Reclaiming my time for a moment, some of the institutions out here that advocate for open borders will argue that no matter who comes into this country, if they do an hour's worth of work, they've contributed to the GDP; therefore, they're…

I thank the gentlelady from Minnesota for pulling this together and for yielding. And, Mr. Speaker, I'm listening to the presentation by the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Brooks), about the rule of law and the application of the rule of law…

Personally, I like the President. And I will refrain from those kind of comments; although I will continue to disagree with him on his approach to this. I wanted to make a comment in response to the discussion here by Dr. Yoho and Dr…

I appreciate the opportunity to be recognized here on the floor of the House of Representatives, and I'm hopeful that we can carry on some of this dialogue that Mrs. Bachmann has led over the past hour. I wanted to make a point about the…

I agree with you that there is no sound science that says that GMOs are a risk to healthy, but we have to take this position.

I would like to welcome and introduce Pam Johnson, a constituent of mine, but also a friend...

Nothing is agreed to until everything is agreed to.

It is a political position that has grown.

I appreciate the privilege of being recognized to address you here on the floor of the United States House of Representatives. I won't, at this time, take up all the issues that were raised in the previous 45 minutes or so, Mr. Speaker…

I thank the gentlelady from South Dakota for yielding to me, and I wanted to come to the floor in opposition, also, of this amendment. I've seen what this research does, and I've watched as we've gone from no industry to an industry now…

This is a new piece of information for me, glow-in- the-dark hemp. I know that they have spliced a gene from a jellyfish into a monkey and it glows also in the dark, so I'm confident that the gentleman's science is accurate. But whether we…

Reclaiming my time, I might want to do a night field trip up there and see that fluorescent hemp field.

I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the arguments that come forward from the Members here. They do come from States that have voted and expressed their support for, let's say, for the husbandry of hemp. It has…

Reclaiming my time, I recognize that the gentleman's amendment only applies to States that have already legalized it, and that's true. Nonetheless, I urge opposition to this amendment, Mr. Chairman, under the basis that we haven't had a…

I appreciate your yielding also to me. I rise in opposition to the Kind amendment, and do I so because I don't want to see agriculture distorted. We've watched as equipment's gotten larger, farms have gotten larger. And when you start…

I appreciate the gentleman's interest in the issue, but it's clear that the Agriculture Committee is not the committee of jurisdiction to be addressing the provisions of the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act. While some may…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Colorado will be postponed. Amendment No. 38 Offered by Mr. Garamendi The Acting CHAIR. It…

I would like to remark to the gentleman from Colorado that it wasn't a surprise to me to see that Colorado is the State that has legalized marijuana and so we also see the advocacy for this coming from the safe place. Perhaps it's a…
