One of the finest members with whom I have served in the Congress over the last 40 years was Bob Michel.

I support the MTR as a way to retain the minority's voice in the legislative process, but I refuse to condone how it has been used by Republicans this Congress to infer Democrats, or any Member of this body, are not sufficiently opposed to…

I think all of us as leaders, as Members of the Congress of the United States, when we get through this toxic, partisan battle...

What does this process do? It literally hides language from the Members of Congress.

I strongly support restoring safe, transparent, and accountable congressionally directed spending in the 117th Congress.

I couldn't ask for a better partner in this process than our ranking member, Tom Cole.

Unlike some of my colleagues, I do not believe we should eliminate the MTR, which I view as an important tool for the minority party in an otherwise majoritarian institution.

My proposal simply puts in procedures in the House rules to let us execute this power.

I have no doubt that all my colleagues, on both sides of the aisle, oppose bigotry and hatred in any form, including anti-Semitism.

this House with integrity means listening to all members.

no party has a monopoly on good ideas.

I urge you to re-politicize it. Tibetan freedom is a truly bipartisan cause that brings Democrats and Republicans together.

Not doing so sends a signal that the human rights of the Tibetan people are not a priority for the President or the U.S. Government.

I urge Congress to ensure that Chinese consulates abolish their racist visa policies and stop the surveillance and intimidation of American citizens.

Speaker Pelosi reminds us all the time that if we don't speak out against human rights abuses in China, then we have no moral authority to speak about human rights abuses anywhere else in the world.

In light of new threats to interfere in the reincarnation process and the increased human rights violations, U.S. policy toward Tibet needs to be updated and strengthened.

the human rights situation in Tibet continues to deteriorate.

We continue to call for his immediate and unconditional release.

These violations of linguistic rights in Tibet are also being implemented in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia.

Why a country as big and as powerful as China is paranoid and frightened of this peaceful monk is beyond comprehension.

this bipartisanship shows overwhelming support for the human rights of Tibetans.

Make no mistake about it, Chinese authorities are engaged in a systematic effort to eliminate the distinct religious, linguistic, and cultural identity of the Tibetan people.

That is a huge miscalculation. None of us are going anywhere. We are going to continue to focus on this issue.

This program seems eerily similar to Uyghur forced labor abuses that have been well documented by this Commission.

the bottom line is there is hunger in this country, food insecurity, is exploding. This is a humanitarian crisis.
