I want to make a comment that I know the CR will be the vehicle. I know Mr. Tom Cole made a comment--and I have talked to him about it--with which I agree. I am disappointed, our side is disappointed, and I think some on your side with…

Well, I know how much you look forward to these colloquies. I yield to the gentleman from California. Mr. McCARTHY. Mr. Speaker, it is the highlight of my week. I look forward to the next Congress. I do enjoy working with the gentleman…

I thank my friend, Mr. Engel, and I thank the chairman, Mr. Royce, for bringing this bipartisan bill to the floor. I thank them for their efforts on behalf of our country, on behalf of the security of our country, and on behalf of ensuring…

Anne, as the Speaker so well said, serves us all. Shuwanza does as well because their job, as the Speaker has so well stated, is to help make this institution work in a democratic nation to make our citizens proud. Very frankly, if they…

I thank the majority leader for that. Let me say that I would hope, given the fact that we have a maximum of eight or nine legislative days left before the end of the fiscal year, end of the September 30 fiscal year, that the CR hopefully…

I thank the gentlewoman for taking this Special Order hour. We are all sad and lament the fact that an extraordinary human being was taken from us far too early. I tell my colleagues, this picture says it all: that wonderful, warm…

I thank the gentleman for that schedule. I won't discuss any of the bills that the gentleman mentioned on the schedule, but I do want to note a couple of absences. One is, of course, the continuing resolution. As the gentleman knows, after…
