I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title) insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

The picture before you here is the Honorable William ``Bill'' Black, who I served with in the State legislature. He passed on September 9, and I wrote these words September 9 when I learned God had called him home. He was a close friend…

First off, I have actually met with members of the Auto Dealers Association who have tremendous amounts of EVs sitting on their lots that they can't sell. Yet, we continue to push from the Federal Government and from the Biden…

Many people know that I was in the State legislature prior to coming to Congress, I was a foreleader there and I knew and could identify when, for some reason, whether it is leadership on one side of the aisle or the other side of the…

Let me explain this. As I said, auto dealers themselves, since we put this in place, cannot sell these vehicles. No one wants them even if the government is trying to force us to take them. They are offering tax incentives. They are…

I am so proud to be on this floor and for what we do for the people, but it is interesting to watch the debates that occur on this floor sometimes to try to stretch, as I said, and draw things out. I actually had the opportunity earlier…

May I request the time remaining for each side? The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mrs. Kiggans of Virginia). The gentleman from Illinois has 12 minutes remaining. The gentleman from California has 1 minute remaining.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 422, nays 0, not voting 11, as follows: [Roll No. 399]…

You have climate policies that appease the radical environmentalists.

Now, my question is, based on the information that I have just given, you have created zero additional truck parking locations even with the record amount of money that was given to you in the infrastructure bill that we passed.

You are forcing training manuals that divide Americans.

Across the board, safety has improved.

the Jones Act is in place for a reason, that's to keep foreign enemies from working inland into our United States.

I encourage all Members to support this legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I, once again, encourage Members to support this legislation. This is truly a piece of legislation that helps the community know and understand how a gallant hero served this Nation. A Congressional Medal of Honor is the highest award. It…
