He stood up and said that he had faith that he was going to make it to the United States of America because the United States of America came to his country to help them, and he knows that the United States of America will do the right…

I thank the gentleman for yielding again. I won't take much time, except to say it is very inspiring--as I think it is important to note when it happens--to see both sides of the aisle talking about such a very important issue. I think it…

I would like to thank Chairman Goodlatte for helping to bring this to the floor very quickly, also to the Majority Leader-elect Kevin McCarthy for his hard work and also to my good friend on the other side of the aisle, Representative…

we need to go forward with the U.S.-Vietnam 123 agreement.

we are basically giving that to Iran, by the way.

I would also like to express my support for the U.S.-South Korea 123 agreement.

I will inquire if the gentleman from Maryland is prepared to close, as I am.

Once again, I want to thank Congressman McNerney for working with me diligently on this. I thank my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, and I urge passage of the bill. I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The…

I thank the Speaker for the time today to discuss H.R. 4801, the Thermal Insulation Efficiency Improvement Act. {time} 1630 Today, millions of gallons of water and energy are wasted due to heating losses that could be prevented through the…
