It is a pleasure to be here tonight and tomorrow. This House will have a chance to redeem itself a bit, or at least remain relevant for now. Hopefully, we will be voting on something of great consequence for a change. Tomorrow we in this…

I thank the chairman, and appreciate his strong, effective leadership in the Veterans' Affairs Committee. At a committee hearing last year, the VA publicly admitted to me it was too difficult to fire bad employees. The situation is so dire…

You don't want to kill new businesses in the cradle, as it were, by burdening them with unnecessary regulatory and tax burden complexity, uncertainty.

In 2009, President Obama, told Notre Dame University graduates: Let's honor the conscience of those who disagree with abortion, and draft a sensible conscience clause, and make sure that all of our healthcare policies are grounded not only…

If rural community banks go away, who is going to finance the business of food production?

So, again, you know, the frustration, we need to quit talking and we need to do something productive here.

I appreciate my colleagues from Texas and across the Nation who, as I have discovered with this bill, have similar problems. In my particular case, it is the city of Salina, Kansas, which is located only 100 miles from the closest hub, and…

I think all of our four witnesses agreed the Tax Code was biased against small businesses and was obviously not helpful.

I appreciate that. We have heard testimony from conservative groups they thought the definition was pretty clear until about 2012, but all of the sudden it looked like they were targeted and I think there is plenty of evidence of that.

It is incumbent upon us to ensure that small businesses have the tools they need to succeed and are not mired in compliance complexities.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 4, line 5, strike ``and''. Page 4, line 8, strike the period and insert ``; and''. Page 4, after line…

I appreciate the opportunity to offer this amendment on a very important bill, and I appreciate the work of the gentleman from Texas. I believe the bill is necessary. My amendment, hopefully, will provide some additional information. As we…

I appreciate support from the gentleman from Texas, I appreciate support from the Ways and Means Committee, and I certainly appreciate the comments across the aisle of the need for transparency. We are an information vacuum on this issue…

budgets are more than just finances; it is a moral document that reflects our values.

the military and the Veterans' Business Outreach group, they are one of the best organizations, period, about not seeing race, color, sex, or anything else.

Thank you, Congressman Smith. It is an honor, as always, to join you this evening on this Special Order. I have told you before and I will tell you again, thank you for your leadership. I believe our efforts, though not fully successful…

I thank my friend from Georgia for yielding. For months now, Americans have--in horror--watched gruesome undercover videos detailing Planned Parenthood's barbaric practice of harvesting little baby body parts for profit. In one…

Earlier this year, many of my colleagues and I stood on this floor condemning abortionist Kermit Gosnell for his barbaric murder of babies born alive during attempted abortions. Instead of providing compassionate care for these precious…

I would like to ask this House, indeed ask the American people: Do you believe your taxpayer dollars should be used to fund racism? Do you think your hard-earned taxpayer dollars should be used to target minority communities? Mr. Speaker…

I thank the chairman. I appreciate the opportunity to speak in support of our legislation. Mr. Chairman, we do know in the last year there has been a lot of talk about accountability at the VA. Unfortunately, though, there has not been…

Today, July 27, 2015, I was not present for rollcall votes Nos. 467, 468, or 469 due to weather-related travel delays. If I had been in attendance, I would have voted ``yes'' on rollcall vote 467, ``no'' on rollcall vote 468, and ``yes''…

Earlier this year Members of Congress stood on this House floor and condemned the evils of trafficking humans, especially the exploitation of women and children who are treated as commodities to be bought, used, and disposed of. And we…

The essence is marriage is reserved between one man and one woman. It is a very simple definition, a very historical definition, and it was adopted by 417,675. Do you know what was interesting? I never once told the State of Kansas that…
