This motion to instruct is well-intentioned but unnecessary. The motion would urge adoption of the Senate-passed level for VA medical research, which is $50 million above the House-passed level. We all support our veterans and honor their…
And in that H.R. 1, the fiscal year '11 omnibus bill, as you recollect, we had some 500 amendments.
I yield myself an additional 1 minute. I am proud, Mr. Speaker, that your Appropriations Committee is presenting to you the first Appropriations Conference Report since 2009 and the first conference report of this Congress. Your…
Could I ask the remaining time? The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Grimm). The gentleman from Kentucky has 11 minutes remaining. The gentleman from Washington has 5\1/2\ minutes remaining.
I am the last remaining speaker on my side, so I will yield to the gentleman.
May I inquire of the time remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Kentucky has 2\1/2\ minutes, and the gentleman from Washington has 5\1/2\ minutes remaining.
We were sidelined a good part of this year from our regular business with H.R. 1. We inherited a House that had not passed an appropriations bill for fiscal '11, so we spent the first 5 months or so of the year trying to pass a bill to…
I have no other speakers other than myself at this point; so I reserve the balance of my time.
The motion to instruct conferees on the fiscal year 2012 bill will encourage the conferees to consider and support several funding items as they negotiate the final agreement on this three-pack of bills. While I believe that this motion is…
That would take some doing. Nevertheless, I agree with you. I'm tickled to death to see the Senate is finally acting. They only passed one bill, up until 2 days ago, of the 12. We've passed six through the House, and have sent them over…
I thank the gentleman for those words. He is exactly right. He and I started out this year both new to our jobs on the committee; but determined, we agreed with each other and committed to each other that we would work together to try to…
By the way, in closing, we're going to conference with the Senate on these three bills this afternoon--as a matter of fact, at 5 o'clock. That's the first time that there has been a House-Senate appropriations conference in years. So…
Exactly. Nevertheless, it held us up for 5 months and kept us from doing our chores for fiscal '12. Then came along the debt ceiling increase debate, which took weeks and sucked all of the air out of everything else, so we were prevented…
I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to bring to the floor the continuing appropriations resolutions to keep the Federal Government operating until November 18, 2011, and to continue support for disaster…
I send to the desk a concurrent resolution and ask unanimous consent for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the title of the concurrent resolution. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from…

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise tonight to bring to the floor the continuing appropriations resolution to keep the Federal Government operating until November 18, 2011. Before you is a slightly amended…
I yield 3 minutes to a brand new Member of this body, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Marino of Pennsylvania.
I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Arkansas (Mr. Womack), a hardworking member of our committee and a newcomer to the Congress.
I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Mississippi (Mr. Nunnelee), a member of the committee.
I yield 3 minutes, Mr. Speaker, to the chairman of the Financial Services Subcommittee on Appropriations, the gentlelady from Missouri (Mrs. Emerson).
May I inquire of the time remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Kentucky has 9 minutes remaining. The gentleman from Washington has 4\3/4\ minutes remaining.
I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Diaz-Balart) a valued member of our committee.
I yield 3 minutes, Mr. Speaker, to the chairman of the Interior appropriations subcommittee, the gentleman from Idaho (Mr. Simpson).
Now, you passed a bill back in June that provided $1 billion for FEMA for disaster relief; is that right?
