This is a time of sadness, of wrenching pain, of anger, and of determination. It is my solemn duty, Mr. Speaker, to speak on this floor today about a courageous, talented, and generous young man, Itay Chen. His family is in the gallery. I…

We have less than 3 weeks scheduled in the remainder of this year for us to act. We have less than 3 weeks to secure aid for Israel and Ukraine before we return to our districts in December. They cannot afford that time. Each day we wait…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. This bill perhaps will pass this House. It certainly will not pass the Senate, and it will not see the light of day on the President's desk. We spend our time here arguing a bill that violates the…

I have great respect for my friend from Missouri, and it seems to me that this is a very serious matter that she has raised. It is also my belief that it ought to be considered in the context of the Financial Services Committee and…

I will not characterize it as rightwing or leftwing, but what the gentlewoman does not talk about, of course, is the donor base of the Republican Party and the interests that exist that do not want this transparency. Mr. Chair, I yield…

The gentleman indicates that he came from the private sector. I am sure he was very successful in the private sector, as he has been in public life. In the private sector, one of the things that we admire is the ability to innovate…

The proposed rule promotes transparency by requiring Federal contractors to disclose their greenhouse gas emissions and climate-related financial risks. This transparency enhances accountability and helps the government and the American…

I rise as the designee of the gentlewoman from Connecticut, and I move to strike the last word. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Maryland is recognized for 5 minutes.

I don't want to prolong this debate, but to hear about election denial from the other side of the aisle is extraordinary, and it is extraordinarily inconsistent with the performance of the former President who lied regularly. Mr. Chair, I…

This is another unserious amendment. We have had over 50 of these. Every one that has been put to a roll call vote has lost, and this one will, as well, I hope. Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.

This seems to be the substance of the Republican response to all the issues that the gentlewoman raises. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.

Again, I thank the gentlewoman for her observations and concern because, obviously, the conclusion that she makes would be of concern to all of us. I simply suggest that this is not the proper place for us to give the analysis and assess…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from New York will be postponed.

I have a credit card in my pocket. It is a piece of plastic, and I am sure that 150 years ago or 100 years ago somebody said: Well, that plastic is not money. Nonetheless, very frankly, most of us no longer carry significant sums of money…

Reclaiming my time, Ms. Boebert. There are no funds in this bill to do that, so this is just an opportunity for you to stand and perhaps speak about an important subject. I understand that. Nevertheless, there are no funds in this bill to…

We had this discussion a little earlier on Mr. Barr's legislation. This is before the Supreme Court. You are making a representation that this is unconstitutional. You are going to find out the answer to that probably by early summer of…

First of all, our economy is doing better than almost any economy in the world. I have had numerous debates, Mr. Chair, or discussions with the majority leader in the last Congress. He kept talking to me about American energy. I kept…

I understand that, but what you have said is that none of the funds in this bill can be spent for that objective.

I claim the time in opposition to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Maryland is recognized for 5 minutes.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Pennsylvania will be postponed. Amendment No. 19 Offered by Mrs. Ramirez The Acting CHAIR…

Reclaiming my time. Let me ask something. As I understand it--again, not having the information that he has available to him--one of the reasons those exemptions are given is because of the fear that there will be a substantial price hike…

Thank God for that. Let me say that in the concept of what we are doing, this is necessary, forgetting about any of the other issues. I understand what he is saying. I disagree with him, but I appreciate his position and why he is saying…

This program has been a very successful program. It has been a successful program for the little guy--the small business. The pilot program has proved to be very successful and has been operating over three Presidential administrations…

This is another time when we retreat from oversight. We talk a lot about oversight on the Committee on Appropriations. We talk a lot about oversight in the authorizing committees, that we need to find out what the people are doing, what we…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Kentucky will be postponed. Amendment No. 39 Offered by Mr. Bean of Florida The Acting…
