That is how we are going to contain costs and move forward exponentially.

General, it is invasive carp day here at E&W. And, as you well know, the risk in the Great Lakes to the ecosystems and the economies is at stake here.

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 New York will be postponed. Amendment No. 74 Offered by Mr. Self The Acting CHAIR. It is now…

We were quoting Dickens before. There is a line in Shakespeare. I will let somebody else fill in the rest of the lines. ``It is a tale . . . full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.'' We are the first generation to feel the effects of…

No one remembers who Edward Everett is. He spoke for a couple hours at Gettysburg. That speaks for itself. There really doesn't need to be much in response to those who deny that climate is an existential threat, so I will just say two…

The Keynesian economics, I guess, aside, the gruel belongs wherever the gruel belongs, but public safety belongs to everyone else. It is not just the trucking industry, it is the people who are involved in those injuries, as well. We need…

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 South Carolina will be postponed. Amendment No. 67 Offered by Mr. Norman The Acting CHAIR…

I stand in strong opposition to this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Norman). The question was taken; and the Acting…

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 South Carolina will be postponed. Amendment No. 65 Offered by Mr. Norman The Acting CHAIR…

It can only be described as disgraceful to target dedicated public servants and threaten their livelihoods. Our government is dependent on their skills and their dedication to the job to help this country go forward. Ms. Gordon has been a…

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 South Carolina will be postponed. Amendment No. 63 Offered by Mr. Norman The Acting CHAIR…

Do we really want to target dedicated public servants and threaten their livelihoods because we disagree with them? These public servants are doing their jobs, carrying out the policy of the administration they serve. They should be…

Let me close by saying this. I gave the gentleman from Kentucky an opportunity to clarify his pronunciation of Secretary Buttigieg's name. I have the belief that he purposely mispronounced it to disrespect him. If he wants to correct that…

May I inquire as to how much time I have remaining. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Illinois has 30 seconds remaining.

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 Kentucky will be postponed. Amendment No. 60 Offered by Mr. Massie The Acting CHAIR. It is…

I assume that the answer is that the sponsor doesn't want to repeat what he may have said. I just didn't hear it. At this point, I am prepared to close, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I am prepared to close, but I would still like to make sure I heard what I thought I heard. Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.

Yes, well, I would reserve the balance of my time, and I would ask the question through the Chair. The Acting CHAIR. Does the gentleman reserve?

I am not sure how to phrase this, but I would ask the sponsor of this amendment, through the Chair, a question. I believe he referred to the Secretary of Transportation's name. I wasn't sure I heard that correctly. If the Chair could ask…

Again, this is a very similar amendment to what has been considered before. Those agreements addressed in this amendment, where they exist, have been negotiated by OMB, labor unions, and management and have been in place under Republican…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Wyoming will be postponed. Amendment No. 58 Offered by Ms. Hageman The Acting CHAIR. It is…

Stating the obvious, that the Department of Transportation's only purpose is to make sure that our roads and our rail systems are safe. The underlying bill, as proposed, dramatically reduces all the funds that do that and makes our rail…

This is very similar to a recent amendment discussed by the gentlewoman from Florida, and for the reasons stated as to that amendment, we oppose this amendment, as well. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.

This form of denial is the same sort of denial that didn't believe in vaccinations when it deals with COVID and when the vast majority of those in ICU units were unvaccinated, risking other people and putting other people's health at risk…

The amendment prohibits the administration or any administration from finalizing any rule or regulation that has a significant impact on the economy. This is just another example of bad policy riders aimed at tying any administration's…
