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

This would apply to the Biden administration.

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

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…

The cynical ploy of weaponizing anti-Semitism for political gain is as offensive as it is dangerous.

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

I think the American people want their representatives to work across party lines, and House rules should reward lawmakers who conduct themselves in that spirit.

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.

I would urge you to help encourage regular order when it comes to appropriations bills.

Congress should create House Permanent Select and Senate Select Committees on cybersecurity to consolidate budgetary and legislative jurisdiction over cybersecurity issues as well as traditional oversight authority.

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

I hope you will consider this proposal seriously, which can help us better serve the people and communities that we represent.

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

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

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

No party has a monopoly on good ideas.

This House with integrity means listening to all members.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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