Mike Johnson

To do this so quick, so close to election day is just irresponsible, in my view.

Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud in American elections.

There is a bipartisan consensus that voting by mail, whatever its impact, is more easily abused than other forms.

If enacted, we are concerned that the changes proposed by the majority will result in our Nation conducting elections only by mail.

I am grateful that President Trump instituted an early travel ban from China despite China's efforts to deceive the rest of the world about the effect of the virus.

Looting and more violence in our Nation's streets does nothing to solve any of these problems.

My prayer is the same as yours, Mr. Chairman, that God will heal our Nation and help us to see one another as He does.

George Floyd appears to have been the victim of murder, and I personally don't believe that a close review of the video can lead anyone to any other conclusion.

We believe the mandate for the Federal Government is quite clear. It is in the Constitution itself.

I just believe, and I know you do, our local chambers are going to be critical players as we begin to rebuild the economy.

I want to associate myself with the remarks of Congressman Pence a few moments ago. We do have a catastrophic revenue collapse.

The small businesses are the backbone all of economy, as we all know, and as we add this additional funding.

It has worked as we all had hoped. It has been a critical lifeline, as you know, saving millions of jobs.

I respectfully ask that you incorporate approximately 1.5 miles of levee in Shreveport, Louisiana into the Red River Below Denison Dam Project.

My legislation would provide a clean reauthorization for the pilot programs for fiscal year 2021 and through fiscal year 2025.

I respectfully ask that the committee incorporate approximately 1.5 miles of levee in Shreveport, Louisiana, into the Red River Below Denison Dam project.

I respectfully ask that you keep in mind two priorities in particular.

Coastal Louisiana leads the Nation in waterborne commerce.

Twenty percent of the Nation's waterborne commerce travels through Louisiana waters.

The importance of these waterways and management systems to Louisiana and the entire Nation cannot be underestimated.

As a Representative for Louisiana's Third Congressional District, I would like to thank you all for your continued focus on the health of our Nation's waterways.

I can assure the witnesses and those who are following this hearing that diversity on the bench, diversity on the pipeline, or in the pipeline to the bench in terms of clerks, and also diversity in law school admissions in the universities…

I am profoundly sorry for the harassment that you experienced.

Meaningful change is not easy, it does not happen overnight, but with commitment and dedication, it is achievable.

Their direct and continued engagement is critical for further progress on this issue.
