I thank the gentleman for yielding. I would simply observe, as I observed the other day, that we all want to make sure that our Justices are safe. Let me say, Madam Speaker, there is a very important reason for that. We want to keep all…
What I said was, in Trump's last year, refineries in the U.S. reduced their capacity by more than 800,000 barrels. That didn't have anything to do about leases. That had to do with an economic decision, which probably made sense because…
I thank the gentleman from Louisiana, the Republican whip, for yielding. Madam Speaker, on Monday, the House will meet at 12 p.m. for morning hour and 2 p.m. for legislative business, with votes postponed, as usual, until 6:30 p.m. On…
I thank the gentleman for his question. I think it is a very relevant question. I am hopeful that we can move that as early as possible. I want to tell the gentleman the reason he thought that it might be moved this morning was because…
I thank the gentleman for his question. He has mentioned this before. I am talking to the committee whose jurisdiction this bill is in to consider what they want to do with it, and I am waiting to hear back from them.
I thank the gentleman for yielding. This is an emotional debate. It is an emotional debate because we lose, on a daily basis, family members, neighbors, friends, and fellow citizens to a bullet or multiple bullets--killed by gun. I do not…
This week, a champion for STEM education, and a dear friend of mine, will retire from his long-time role as president of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, more affectionately known as UMBC. Over the past 30 years, Dr. Freeman…
I thank the chair and the ranking member for bringing this bill to the floor. I am honored to bring this resolution to the floor every year. It authorizes an event, as you have been told, that I am proud to support every year. This will be…
How many more times, how many senseless, tragic deaths must occur until we abandon moments of silence and substitute lifesaving action?
How many more times will our Senate Republican colleagues express outrage at horrific shootings like the one today in Uvalde, Texas, and then sadly block meaningful bipartisan background check legislation, supported by 9 out of 10…
Mr. Chairman, we need to be the agents of God to answer the prayers of the grieving.
I thank the chairman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, before I start making my remarks, the gentleman who just spoke is a member of the Republican Party. The Republican National Committee passed a resolution telling the American people--and they…
It was not, when they attacked anything. You ought to visit the Speaker's home. She has protestors in front of her home all the time. All the time, Mr. Speaker. Legitimate political discourse is demonstration; it is speaking out. And as a…
I thank the distinguished gentleman for his very generous comments and congratulate him for his leadership in so many different ways, not only on this subcommittee, but also on the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, which he…
I thank the Republican whip for yielding. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, the House will meet at 12 p.m. for morning hour and 2 p.m. for legislative business, with votes postponed until 6:30 p.m. On Tuesday, the House will meet at 9 a.m. and will…
I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, we have had this discussion before. I am going to take a little bit of time to--because if you just listen to the Republican whip, you would think that America is bereft of production of…
On just that point, the gentleman mentioned this the last time we had a colloquy and pointed out that the drilling and processing of petroleum products are the cleanest in the world. You made that point last week, and you have just made it…
It is unfortunate that at a time of war that we spend all our time blaming our own President. It is unfortunate that when the Europeans put themselves over the objections of numerous administrations in a place where they had dependence on…
We cannot be exporting bad forest management policies to the rest of the world.
if we need to buy fertilizer, and we need to buy oil, and we need to buy coal, or we need to buy some other source, we expect to have that taken out of the land or the mine and given to us, and we, in turn, pay for it.
the problem is the resource that we get from that rainforest is oxygen, which allows us to live.
we take the oxygen, but we do not pay for it. So, this is not charity. This is not foreign aid.
