The Biden Administration has mismanaged this program, and unfortunately, our request to bring in Secretary Yellen today was denied.

The biggest economic challenge we face right now continues to be President Biden's inflation crisis.

I appreciate that. Hopefully, we can work together to get that brought to the floor and express that support in unison and that would send a strong message. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________

That wasn't the opportunity that we asked for, and I think the majority leader knows that the minority leader put a number of issues on the table that he wanted included in that review, and those were rejected. They were rejected by the…

I rise for the purpose of inquiring of the majority leader the floor schedule for next week, and I welcome the majority leader back to the colloquy. It is good to see him spry. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr…

I was ready to get the vaccine. I've always felt it was safe and effective.

Especially with the Delta variant becoming a lot more aggressive, and seeing another spike, it was good time to do it.

Three-hundred-plus-million people vaccinated so far in this country--or doses delivered in this country.

These are provisions, Emergency Use Authorization especially, that helped save millions of lives.

The vaccine ended this pandemic.

We doubled yet again our commitment to the NIH.

That is why in the Secure and Trusted Communications Network Act, Congress took a bipartisan action to help smaller carriers remove untrusted equipment.

Every company on this list has ties to the Chinese Communist Party with the Chinese Government having ownership in many of them.

Our bill, H.R. 3919, which is the Securing Equipment Act, stops the threat of China from infiltrating our networks.

He will probably be moving around even faster. I will not challenge him to a race. I am not quite where he is yet, but I am working to get there. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________

I rise for the purpose of inquiring of the House majority whip the floor schedule for next week. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Clyburn) my friend, the House majority whip.

Paying people not to work is causing real damage to our economy.

I think that will follow, as you see, many Governors, half the Governors in the country now have decided to end, on their own, that enhanced unemployment, and that is getting people back to work in those states.

So, clearly, we want to address this crisis.

We're focused on growing our economy and increasing supply--supply of workers, expanded investment--and for bringing back jobs to America.

Some in Congress used this crisis to spend trillions of dollars on things that had little or nothing to do with COVID.

Inflation has been defined as 'too much money chasing too few goods.' It also happens to be a nearly exact description of the Biden economic plan.

Speaker Pelosi and the House of Representatives should not be covering up for China's lies and potential crimes.

If this is a manmade virus, then this is exponentially worse than Chernobyl.

If this virus did, in fact, leak from the Wuhan lab... everyone in this country... deserves to know what happened.
