The payline for extramural grants approval is now in the middle teens, as I understand.

Treating this issue, as I believe it is being treated, as a divisive issue, as a pejorative issue, is unfortunate.

There is no greater advocate for children in this Congress than Rosa DeLauro.

I think there are programs that are not functioning as we want them to do so, to the detriment of our children.

A former Governor of my State--famous or infamous, depending upon your perspective--Spiro T. Agnew, once said that the cost of failure far exceeds the price of progress.

It would be wonderful if in the future annual budgets would include additional funding to be able to invest in future projects because we are just at the beginning of this, of needing to reestablish this industrial base here in the United…

If you invest in your children, if you invest in people's health, mental health, and education status, that you will have lesser costs.

When the Congress passes a bill and appropriates money, it does, in fact, authorize that expenditure by the Federal Government.

When the cost of failure far exceeds the price of progress.

Not only here, but throughout the healthcare delivery system, what the pandemic showed us, what a critical shortage we have in almost every discipline in terms of healthcare.

I was a sponsor, as you know, of the Americans with Disabilities Act. This is what is called in the act a 'reasonable accommodation.'

The equivalency that has been made here is absolutely without merit, and you go down a terrible road. I do not agree with the statements that were made. I oppose them. I said on this floor that I opposed them. But by golly, there are a…

I thank the gentleman for yielding and adopt all the remarks he made in his opening statement. This debate about IRS lends itself to being the most dishonest and demagogic rhetoric that I have seen in the Congress at any point in time. I…

I lament that the 2 minutes are no longer magic. Mr. Speaker, these rules are largely the rules that we have had for some period of time over the years, but they have important changes. Unfortunately, I view those changes as not…

We are here today to fulfill one of Congress' most basic responsibilities: to fund our government and keep it working for the people. We are not doing that very well. It is the 23rd of December, the day before Christmas Eve. The weather is…

As the Members know, the Senate has now passed the omnibus which will fund government. As the Members also know, the government will be shut down at midnight tomorrow if we do not pass additional legislation here. I have been over in the…

As majority leader, there has been no benefit of this job that I have appreciated, very frankly, more than my magic 1 minute. I intend to take it now. My friends on both sides of the aisle may be glad to know that this is the last time…

To my colleagues, based upon the present information on the Senate timeline for passing the omnibus, the earliest the House is expected to meet is Wednesday with votes at 6:30 p.m.--that is the earliest--with the votes of the week…

I have been working on this issue almost all of my career in the Congress of the United States. The previous gentleman said: Let's do it right. This does it right. This does it after years and years and years and years and years of…

I thank my good friend for yielding. I would say that we are going to miss my friend who has been a person willing to work across the aisle on principles that this bill reflects, and I thank him for that. We will miss him. I will remain…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding, and I thank the ranking member, Mr. Davis, for his support of this legislation. Mr. Speaker, the Capitol Building is the wellspring of American democracy, freedom, and equality. We don't always live…

I just want to make clear, the gentleman indicated that we did nothing. The Justices of the Supreme Court had full protection. The issue was the families and the families of Members, but it ought to be on the public record that the Supreme…

I am going to miss this 1 minute, let me tell you that. This bill was passed with a very bipartisan vote in this House this past July. I rise in strong support of the Respect for Marriage Act, which this bill has been slightly amended and…

If the gentleman will continue to yield, you represented that the Justices were unprotected. That is not accurate, sir.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. The gentleman is absolutely correct. There is a shot clock. It is September 30 at midnight. That is the shot clock. That is when government no longer is funded if we do not take some additional action. I…
