In less than a minute, he fired 83 shots from an AR-style Smith & Wesson M&P 15 semiautomatic rifle military and police--not hunting--military and police rifle, murdering seven and wounding dozens more.

I am not only here as a representative, but I am a resident of Highland Park, which as you know and we talked about it today, had a horrible mass shooting at the 4th of July parade.

Thank you for your remarkable words, for sharing your perspective and expressing compassion I think we can all share. It is now my privilege to recognize my friend from Michigan, Representative Elissa Slotkin.

What our communities deserves as action from Congress, concrete action, to pass twice now in the House, universal background checks legislation.

These military weapons, weapons of death and destruction designed for one thing to kill as many people as efficiently and quickly as possible, have no business in our community.

It`s a big deal. But it`s a small step.

The situation in Ukraine has made the need for supporting the energy needs of the region so much more urgent.

We discussed the vital importance of energy independence from Russia in Eastern Europe.

The bill would codify the Boots to Business Program, which offers transitioning service Members and military spouses information about self-employment and business ownership.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And first let me thank the Chairman for your leadership on our resolution we are introducing later today reaffirming the U.S. commitment to global climate cooperation ahead of the COP26 meetings.

Since Louis DeJoy took over as postmaster general in July 2020, the Postal Service has experienced dramatic drops in delivery service performance.

I'm a huge advocate for the United States Postal Service. Unlike Congress, the Postal Service is held in very high regard by all Americans.

It doesn't take a business consultant to know that lowering service value while increasing service price is not a formula for success.

Progress in all these areas starts with and depends on security, and security starts with and relies on Iron Dome funding. I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting this critical funding and hope the Senate will take it up immediately.

I want to remember and honor the service and sacrifice of our military, as well as our diplomats and others.

We must do everything we can to bring every American home that wants to come home.

Small businesses are the engine of our economy.

It is time to look towards the future.
