I thank the gentleman for that scheduling information. As the gentleman knows, we have, as I calculate, 12 legislative days left to go in July and the beginning of August, of which 3 of those days we will be coming in at 6:30. As a result…
Well, I did hear the response, and apparently I accurately characterized it. I think that's a shame, Mr. Majority Leader. Mr. Boehner said that we were going to be an open House, that we were going to consider matters, and that everybody…
Why is it a waste of time? Because the Republican majority knows that it will not pass the United States Senate, and it would not be signed by the President of the United States. It's a message bill. It's politics as usual. It is spurring…
I thank my friend. Repeal it and replace it. For the 31st time, we have a repeal with no replacement, no alternative, no protection offered by my Republican colleagues--not one. You could, of course, introduce legislation that would say…
Well, I'm sorry I'm a little late. I always try to come by to say hello to former Members. One never knows when one is going to be a former Member. So in the expectation that that will be, at some point in time, where I will be, I want to…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. On November 1, 2009, our Speaker stood on this floor, outraged about the process. We, too, are outraged about this process, and let me quote the Speaker: We will not stand for this. And I would ask my…
Tomorrow will mark, as I said a little earlier, 100 days since the United States Senate approved its bipartisan compromise highway bill in the United States Senate. There were 74 Senators who voted for that. Essentially half of the…
I offer a motion to instruct conferees on H.R. 4348. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Hoyer moves that the managers on the part of the House at the conference on the disagreeing…
On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question will be postponed. General Leave
I yield myself an additional 30 seconds. The gentleman hasn't mentioned any of those. I am pleased that he hasn't mentioned those. I hope that the House Republicans have now decided that's not going to be the litmus test for whether or not…
