Myself and Mr. Kind, previously who spoke, sent a letter with 16 of our colleagues to the Indian Ambassador voicing our strong concerns, and I am happy to provide that letter to you.

I want to thank Mr. Faso and Mr. Reed from New York and Ms. Bass from California for introducing this important bill, and I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes.'' Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The…

I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this important bill, and I reserve the balance of my time.

I thank Chairman Roe and Ranking Member Walz. What an honor it is to work with these two gentlemen on veterans' issues. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of my bill, H.R. 467, the VA Scheduling Accountability Act. This commonsense…

The American economy has succeeded in spite of our Tax Code. It hasn't helped it.

I think it is easy at the Federal Government level to say that government always has the answers.

But we had 17 hearings listening to people all over the country talk about the bridge out of poverty.

I think it is so important for young people in this country to be able to talk about the fact that they can point to people who did this.

I am excited for our fellow Americans and for young people to know that there is hope and to keep moving.

I thank Representative Black. Madam Speaker, I rise today in strong support of H.J. Res. 43. This resolution will overturn an Obama administration rule that forces States to direct Federal funds to abortion providers like Planned…

It still takes people on the front lines to coordinate.

It just becomes so important, in my mind, to do the kinds of things you are talking about, which is connecting people to this equation.

I am absolutely passionate about this issue.

We are doing it, using each other in collaboration.

President Obama promised over and over again, if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your health plan, you can keep your health plan. And despite these repeated pledges, we know now that these statements were…

I thank my colleague, Representative Brooks from Indiana. I am thrilled to stand here tonight and be a part of naming this facility in Indianapolis the Dr. Otis Bowen Veteran House. Dr. Bowen spent most of his life in my district…
