I inquire as to how much time I have remaining. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Illinois has 2 minutes remaining.

First off, I would like to emphasize that this does not take away funding from the Office of Science. It eliminates a very poorly designed set-aside that is based on spending that is completely unrelated to the actual Office of Science. If…

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 Illinois will be postponed. Amendment Offered by Mrs. Black

This appropriations bill would underfund the Office of Science by $272 million below the President's request for the next fiscal year. Investments in the DOE Office of Science have long supported American innovation and discovery science…

As you are certainly aware, one of the issues in the Iran nuclear deal was the possibility of Iran diverting some fraction of their funds that were released under the JCPOA for terrorist purposes.

I thank Mr. Green for yielding me the time. My bill, H.R. 4982, the Examining Opioid Treatment Infrastructure Act of 2016, is straightforward, and it is bipartisan. If we are ever going to get a handle on the heroin and opioid epidemic…

Last month President Obama came to this Chamber to speak, inter alia, of a moonshot to cure cancer under the leadership of Vice President Biden. This week the President announced specific plans to invest $1 billion to fund that moonshot…
