I agree with that bill.

They're holding all bills hostage.

I'm feeling good as long as my members stay with us on the rule.

Someday, I would like to carry on this floor from our committee a bill that is actually sponsored by a Republican that my colleague can actually find totally good. We come out here every time, and he finds all the excuses of why this is…

The men and women who have served have earned access to a VA that puts them – not government bureaucracy – at the center of its operations. The Senator Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act will do…

At this time, I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Van Orden), who is the chief sponsor of the bill.

I had questions about the impact these reductions and discussions could have on the delivery of services.

I take Secretary Collins at his word when he says there is no impact to the delivery of care, benefits, and services for veterans with this plan.

I have no further speakers, I am ready to close, and I reserve the balance of my time.

May I inquire of the Chair as to how much time is remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mrs. Miller-Meeks). The gentleman from Illinois has 4\1/2\ minutes remaining.

As a veteran and as a person that drove big stuff, I encourage all of my colleagues to support this bill. I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Feenstra). The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman…

The updated language is in the Dole Act, if we can have the opportunity to have the Dole Act, too.

You have my word we will continue to work with your staff to do the best we can. I think this bill is in very, very good shape the way it is. As the only one that actually has a CDL, we should probably realize that the safety is here, that…

At this time, I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Aderholt), the sponsor of this bill.

I have no further speakers on this particular legislation, I am ready to close, and I reserve the balance of my time.

It is ridiculous, not being able to know where the Government lies and what in the world they can do to you and when they can do it.

The permitting process here is a mess. It is costly. It is slow. It is killing infrastructure projects.

It just doesn't square.

It is incredibly easy for our members right now, under this regulatory regime, to unknowingly break the law.

$64,000 or jail time. That is not small change for a simple mistake or a misunderstanding.

So, now here we are, a year into the Biden administration's new WOTUS ruling, and nothing has changed.

Once again, as has been mentioned in previous pieces of legislation, there is a reason why we name our facilities after these men. Charlie Dowd was an amazing person who stood up for this Nation and truly pursued the American Dream and…

I am looking for support for the MFRATS, Market Facilitation Retaliatory Ag Tariffs Supplement, and let's make no question about this. We are taking the gloves off.

The farm bill will not be passed in time to rescue this, I am sorry to say.
