I will yield to anybody on this floor who will say: Mr. Hoyer, you are wrong. Apparently, there is nobody on the floor who is going to suggest that the will of this House, as represented by a majority that would vote on this bill, would…
I thank the gentleman. We now leave for another month the Export-Import Bank, which is responsible for the creation and retaining of jobs in America. We all talk about jobs in America, but the Speaker has said, again, that the failure to…
I thank Mr. Polis from Colorado for yielding. I rise in opposition to this rule. This is our last day in session before we leave for 5 or 6 weeks. We then will have 13 days before the end of the fiscal year. We have a number of things that…

Just to make it clear, the mistake was the sheriff's. He should not have done what he did. It was a tragedy. We all agree on that. Very frankly, we don't think that he was compelled to do so by the sanctuary law that San Francisco had in…
I thank the gentleman for his information with reference to the two bills that will be considered next week. We are coming now to the end of the scheduled work period, and we will be going into the August break. We just passed a bill, Mr…
