First of all, this bill urges every Federal agency to return people to the offices, and then where are you? Well, we don't need the offices now, so we can save money. You can't have it both ways. If you want people to return, you are going…

First, let me say I am sympathetic to the issue that the appropriations committee needs to conduct oversight, but I will tell everybody in this Chamber and those who are watching, this matter was a subject of very serious debate and…

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…

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…

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

I adopt not only his premise that we have language in the bill that was fully debated in committee that will achieve the knowledge that we need. In addition, I would reiterate, we need to respect law enforcement-- whether it is called IRS…

I don't know that I am going to dignify that with an extensive response. I think the American public are very bright, but they don't have assets. You may smell the gasoline. You may be an expert on gasoline. I know what gasoline smells…

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…

My point is we have the right to oversight. The gentleman has the right to call them to come and testify and call others to testify on whether this program works or doesn't. We haven't given up that authority of oversight, as the gentleman…

It is so sad to hear on this floor assumptions made that have little or no basis in truth. It is so sad to hear a debate that if you are for or against something that is awful, then you are going to be against giving people who perform…

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 Florida will be postponed. Amendment No. 40 Offered by Ms. Boebert The Acting CHAIR. It is…

I don't want any misinterpretation that I adopted the gentleman's premise as to the activities of the FBI. I disagree with that.

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 Tennessee will be postponed. Amendment No. 43 Offered by Mrs. Cammack The Acting CHAIR. It…

This amendment will block all major rulemaking by the administration. That is not a policy that we ought to adopt. It would be challenging at best and harmful at worst to our country, our economy, and our people. I urge its rejection. I…

I would make an observation. I understand what the gentleman is saying. The IRS says there are $688 billion. That is not chump change, not behind the sofa cushion, $688 billion. They say that if they have the resources, they can collect a…

If you want to get tough on Putin, don't elect one of his friends President of the United States. This legislation that has been offered, as I understand it, wants to see a full sanction and prohibition on dealing with Russian oil. That…

First of all, let me address the gas stoves. That was a sidebar comment. It wasn't anything about taking gas stoves out of people's homes or out of their yard or anything of that nature. It was a political gem that has been seized on by…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. This is America's subway. This is America's Metro. Millions of people from throughout this country come here and enjoy Metro's convenience while seeing the Federal Government, seeing their National…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. I will be quick, but hopefully pointed. If the Republicans had not put a poison pill on this bill, it would pass on suspension with over 400 votes, but they did not do that. Mr. Speaker, we must…

I thank my friend for yielding. Mr. Speaker, Mr. Scalise and I have been partners in being very, very strong supporters of Israel and making sure Israel has the funds it needs to be successful, sovereign, secure, and safe. We remain in…

The gentleman is very generous. The irony, as I pointed out, Mr. Speaker, is that in the pay-for that they have used, CBO scores that as a $12.5 billion increase in the debt, not a decrease. The reason for that is, it cuts $28 billion…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. For millennia, the Jews of the world have been subject all over the world to prejudice, hate, and violence. Mr. Speaker, I have visited the Kfar Aza kibbutz over four times in the last 25 years. It was a…

We must follow this resolution with action. We must all vote for this resolution and speak with one voice; action that shows the world that America will defend its allies in Israel, in Ukraine, and around the world. Mr. McCAUL. Mr…

I believe the majority of the Republicans don't want to go down this path, but I say to the majority of Republicans: Shut them up. Let's work in a bipartisan manner. We will have an overwhelming vote as we did with the debt limit. Over 300…

I urge Republicans to work with us to pass a clean continuing resolution just as Mitch McConnell and 26 Republicans did yesterday. Now, they haven't gotten it to us yet. There is one Republican holding it up. Stop holding America hostage…
