In this Chamber, we've heard over the last several days numerous speakers who have spoken quite eloquently about the impact of sequestration on their communities and their constituents across this country; and I daresay there are many…

On this coming Friday, March 1, we are going to see budget cuts that will devastate Federal workers, programs, agencies, and private sector contractors. This pending $85 billion in cuts for this fiscal year alone was intended to be so bad…

I am pleased today that we've been able to bring forward H.R. 667. Former Chairman Hall was here today, and we had an opportunity to do this in the last Congress. So hopefully, in honor of these two gentlemen, real tremendous patriots and…

It seems so fitting that we're here today to recognize Neil Armstrong. And I want to thank Mr. Hall both for his leadership of our Science Committee and the opportunity that we've had to work together. He is a good friend. I look forward…

I'd like to inquire of Mr. Hall as to whether he has additional speakers; otherwise, I'm ready to close.

I thank the gentleman from Connecticut for your leadership, and I share in your absolute sorrow, and to honor the memory of the 20 children and six educators who lost their lives in this really horrific attack at Sandy Hook Elementary…

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise for the purpose of a parliamentary inquiry to inquire as to whether it is not the case that during these pro forma sessions legislation may be considered by unanimous consent. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The…

Parliamentary inquiry. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman will state her inquiry.

Should it not be possible to consider legislation and to complete work on behalf of the American people including middle class tax cuts, which we all agree upon should be extended, jobs legislation, the Violence Against Women Act, the farm…

When we put that term out there, you don't use that lightly. So we want to make sure that we have everything in place before we use that.

As far as our indications, this individual was by himself. We have nothing else to indicate that he's with anybody else or anything was going on.

It's still open. That's where -- we're starting to eliminate more things and start to narrow down what it might be.

We've partnered with them. They're a friend of our community. We work with them. We don't have issues with them.

He was shot between eight and nine times during the shooting. A lot of extremity shots. Shot in the neck and the cheek area.

At that point, began to give him commands as far as dropping his weapon and putting his hands up.

Can you believe it--Republicans are on their planes, trains, and automobiles headed out of Washington for a month when they haven't provided tax cuts for middle class Americans and for small businesses. That's right, Mr. Speaker: absent…

You know, they say that he who pays the piper plays the tune; but unfortunately in today's campaign finance system, it's just like one Johnny One Note, and it's about millionaires and billionaires. I rise today, Mr. Speaker, to speak on an…

On my way home from work, I stopped at the local grocery store, and I stopped at the bank. My bank is located conveniently between my grocery store and the gas station, only minutes from my home. I thought about the last 4 years and the…

I thank the gentlelady from New York, and join her in opposing the rule and the underlying bill. This is the way it's supposed to work. Passed by the House, passed by the Senate, signed into law by the President, and upheld by the United…

The Republican majority is pursuing an unprecedented and a partisan constitutional confrontation today, and it's unnecessary. The contempt resolution that's before the House is both disgraceful and it really is demeaning to this House…

Our country continues to recover from the worst recession we've faced in generations. This progress is being made despite the best efforts of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle who stated that their singular goal is not creating…

From an early age, my parents instilled the importance of obtaining a quality education. They cultivated a love of learning and made it clear how important an education is to success in life. They could not have been more right. Higher…

While I do not believe I did anything illegal or ever thought I was doing anything illegal, I did an awful, awful lot that was wrong, and there is no one else responsible for my sins.

I wanted to say first, thank you for the jurors, and their incredibly hard work and their diligence. They took their job very, very seriously. All I can say is thank goodness we live in a country that has the kind of system that we have.

While I do not believe I did anything illegal or ever thought I was doing anything illegal, I did an awful, awful lot that was wrong. And there is no one else responsible for my sins.
