Our Nation is in a recession, and millions of Americans are hurting. Many have lost their jobs. Many more millions worry that they will be next. It is absolutely right that our new President and this Congress take decisive action to…

The old book says if you owe debts, pay debts; if honor, then honor; if respect, then respect. And when I heard that the gentleman from Arizona had organized a modest tribute to the 43rd President of the United States today on the House…

Today, millions of Americans from the National Mall to prayer services in small-town churches will mark the sad 36th anniversary of Roe versus Wade, the worst Supreme Court decision since Dred Scott. As most Americans know, it is simply…

for a millennia, Israel was a dream; in 1948, it became a reality. But in recent days, the periphery of Gaza has become a nightmare for Israeli men, women and children. I rise today in strong support of H. Res. 34, a bipartisan measure…

As every American knows, this economy is hurting, and millions of Americans are anxious. House Republicans applaud our President-elect for focusing on legislation. Today, President-elect Obama will say that this Congress must act boldly…

If you look at the record of John McCain, it's a consistent record of free market economics, limited government and fiscal discipline. His presence here gives us confidence that those ideals are at the table, are going to be demanded in…

I must tell you, there are those in the public debate who have said that we must act now. The last time I heard that, I was on a used car lot.

Many of us conservatives are concerned that the cure of a massive transfer of money from the Treasury to Wall Street could ultimately be worse than the disease that we're facing in our financial markets.

One year ago, over 300 Democrats and Republicans stood together to oppose efforts to restore the so-called Fairness Doctrine to the airwaves of this country for a single year. It was an encouraging vote. But, following that vote, I…

I rise in support of the FISA Amendments Act of 2008. America is at war. We have to do all we can to protect our Nation from those who seek to harm this country, our communities and our families. After nearly a year of delays, we finally…

Hoosiers are struggling in the aftermath of some of the worst storms in our Nation's history. But even amidst the cleanup of last weekend, I was still hearing about gasoline prices. At more than $4 a gallon in Indiana, working families…

I certainly strongly support the military funding portion of the Iraq/Afghanistan supplemental appropriations bill. It will speed roughly $165 billion in emergency funds to our men and women serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, and it will do…

I believe, as we go forward with the spending bill, the American people deserve to know where credit is deserved, to those who have stood in this body for a clean war funding bill, stood by our troops, stood by the surge, and they also…

the American people cherish freedom. That's why President Reagan repealed the so-called Fairness Doctrine back in 1987 that actually regulated the content of radio airwaves for more than four decades. Today, while some of the most powerful…

I rise today to commend and recognize the extraordinary contributions, though, of emergency management, disaster response, elected officials, community leaders and everyday Hoosiers in my district during this last week of devastating…

across Indiana, Hoosiers are picking up the pieces from a week of extraordinary weather. My own hometown of Columbus is in the midst of a cleanup of the worst flooding since the Great Flood of 1913, and I come to the floor today to urge…

I must say that I do love following the distinguished majority leader to the floor. He is, as has been said, an eloquent and effective champion for the Democrat agenda in Congress. But the American people deserve to know this budget puts…

The national average cost of gasoline at the pump today is $3.98 a gallon. When I was home over the Memorial Day break, one Hoosier after another stopped and asked me the same question. They said, Mike, what is it going to take? What is it…

this morning in my hometown of Columbus, Indiana, gasoline hit $3.99 a gallon, one-tenth of 1 cent just shy of $4 a gallon. So I rise this morning to ask my colleagues, what's it going to take? What's it going to take to get this Congress…

I think war funding bills ought to be about war funding. Last week, the Democrat Congress tried and failed to pass an Iraq funding bill by piling billions of dollars in unrelated domestic spending and higher taxes on the backs of our…

Well, I don't know what it's going to take, Mr. Speaker. Indiana is right up there with the rest of the country pushing about $4 a gallon. We'll get people out on the road for vacations this summer, and I don't know what it's going to take…

today America's eyes are turning to Indiana and North Carolina as tens of thousands of Americans are making their decision in primary election days. And thanks to the United States Supreme Court decision in Crawford v. Marion County…

60 years ago next month, the State of Israel, under the leadership of a small band of courageous Zionists declared independence in its ancient homeland. It was promptly recognized by the United States, as the majority leader just…
