The 2018 National Defense Strategy emphasizes the threats posed by, quote, "great powers" and specifically highlights Russia and China, of course, as the greatest threats to our interests.

I thank the gentlewoman. Included as well are antiheroin and antimeth task forces that bring law enforcement agents from multiple jurisdictions together to end this scourge. Finally, the bill allocates $30 million within the Economic…

From the dermatology perspective, I can tell you that in many circumstances the cost to the patient is grossly higher.

One of the things that comes to me that could definitely improve the situation from a transparency standpoint and also from a consistency standpoint would be to have, instead of pharmacy benefit managers deciding on how best to administer…

Unfortunately, there is little or no transparency in how the prior authorizations are judged, nor the guidelines by which the reviewers look at the clinical information provided.

This amendment would ensure that veteran- and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses are able to effectively compete for State Department contracts and grants. We have a moral obligation to help our veterans, and especially our…

I claim the time in opposition, although I am not opposed. The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from Kentucky is recognized for 5 minutes. There was no objection.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I rise in support of his amendment. The Paris Agreement is an unworkable, unrealistic policy solution to climate change. If implemented, as the gentleman has said, the Paris accord could cost as many as…

I am heartened to see the department making use of these new powers by issuing sanctions against North Korean shipping companies, Russian oligarchs, and Iranian individuals who stole intellectual property for the benefit of the Islamic…

This support for the AML pilot program allows us to clean up abandoned mines and repurpose them to create jobs. Finally, I am proud that this agreement includes legislation that I helped introduce, the STOP School Violence Act, which aims…

The war on coal was real, and this President promised to end that war and I think he has, but in the meantime we have got a lot of wounded soldiers on the battlefield who are desperately in need of some help from this President who…

I have 12,000 laid-off coal miners in my district alone, who are able people, mechanically talented people, who are now trying to find a job at McDonald's, unsuccessfully, I might add.

Old soldiers never die.
