I thank the gentleman for yielding the time. Madam Speaker, I rise with concern about H.R. 6087, Improving Access to Workers' Compensation for Injured Federal Workers Act. It was mentioned that it is fine if healthcare practitioners are…

They give reasons. They say, look, education matters. Patients want physicians involved in their diagnosis and treatment decisions. I think that is true. They say that increasing the scope of practice of nurse practitioners or physician…

I thank the gentlewoman from Texas for yielding me the time. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition tonight to H.R. 7790, the Infant Formula Supplemental Appropriations Act, a bill that just continues the majority's reckless spending spree…

But we are out of time now.

We desperately need one.

I rise with concern about some of the wording in the preamble. I think this is the reason why we should actually go through the normal process, not a suspension process for something as critical as this resolution. Clearly, I have no…

I thank the gentleman from Virginia for yielding me time. Mr. Blumenauer and I have jointly led and sponsored this bill for four Congresses. Although we disagree about recreational marijuana--he supports it; I oppose it--as a physician, I…

I just think these should go to ethics advisory boards and let the chips fall where they may.

Why don't we lend them money? Why do we lend the money to go to a 4-year college to study something in the humanities that may or may not bear any fruit and not lend the person who just learned a skill to get started in being a vibrant…

I am a strong advocate for the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program. I am very glad that the administration in this year's budget did not include the phase-out language.

This project, this is just a great--giving parents choice in a failing school system is a good idea, not a bad idea.

I think we have to look at ways of doing more with less in the government, not doing the same with more.

We have inflation at historic highs. That is not economically positive.

The administration should have made it a priority to address supply chain shortages long before now.

I just want to thank Dr. Schrier and agree that research is very, very important in agriculture and is going to keep us the leading country in the world in our agricultural sector.

I am not sure when this was written, but I am sure you are aware that the GDP actually contracted 1.4 percent last quarter.

A majority of Americans simply disagree that they think the economy is in good shape.

I believe this crisis could have been averted if the administration had acted on supply chain issues last fall.

I'm frustrated by the Biden Administration's lack of urgency prior to last week to address this issue.

We surpassed 100,000 overdose deaths this year, a 28 percent increase. The amount of fentanyl seized at our southern border--seized--is over 100 million pills and 11,000 pounds. Now, as a physician who has administered fentanyl, this is…

This problem is further explained in a one-pager that is attached to this testimony.

Today the House majority will likely pass the faulty Health Appropriations bill, which eliminates the protection of the Hyde and Weldon amendments. This will happen despite polling that consistently shows nearly 60 percent of Americans…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 366, nays 46, not voting 18, as…

Today, the House debated several bills to address the health and safety of children and newborns, including those that would ban crib bumpers and mandate stability standards for furniture that could fall on children. Unfortunately, this…
