I apologize for keeping people waiting. I tend to speak more briefly than I usually speak on my 1 minute, but not because of the importance of this subject, not because of the deep feelings that I have that this is the right thing to do…

I thank the gentleman from New York (Mr. Meeks), the chairman of the committee, for yielding. I thank him for his leadership in bringing this bill to the floor quickly and effectively. I thank Mr. Wilson, who represents the minority, and…

If it hadn't been for him, we wouldn't have had the votes that day.

I thank the gentlewoman from Michigan for yielding. And the Speaker pro tem, Ms. Jacobs, how proud Madeleine Albright would be of the two of you standing here, presiding here, and giving tribute to an extraordinary woman who must have…

The Senate has passed, and we have just had read, the passage of H.R. 7108, which is the Suspending Normal Trading Relations with Russia and Belarus Act. That passed 100 to zero in the United States Senate. We expect at the end of this…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. And I would respond, this bill is about economic resilience. You can't be independent if you go bankrupt. You can't be independent if you can't operate your business. I have gone into restaurant after…

I thank the gentleman from Mississippi for yielding. I thank the gentlewoman from Wyoming for her courage in standing for the truth. I disagree with many things that the previous speaker said. I disagree with his premises and with his…

Well, I am not surprised that the gentleman, and many of the bills that he refers to, want to undermine the regulation to protect the health and welfare of the American people which those are designed to do, and most of which I think, you…

Yes. If, in fact, that was the reason for non-production, we all would have heard of the fact when we are not producing, and the stock market would have heard about that, and the companies would be lamenting the fact that they are not…

I thank the gentleman, the Republican whip from Louisiana, for yielding. On Monday, the House will meet at 12 p.m., Madam Speaker, for morning-hour and 2 p.m. for legislative business, with votes postponed until 6:30 p.m. On Tuesday and…

I thank the gentleman for that question, and I have been thinking about that because he asks that regularly. I particularly have been thinking about that question in the context of the fact that we have so much available acreage on which…

Chairman Nadler, ranking members, this is an important piece of legislation. How do I know that? Because the people have told us that. Every time they have had the opportunity to vote in America, they have voted to do this. They know that…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. First of all, this is not price control. It is limiting the purchaser on a price, but the companies are still going to charge what they are going to charge, and somebody is going to have to pay, and…

I thank my friend, the gentleman from Louisiana, Garret Graves, for yielding. I thank him for taking this Special Order for a special person. Now, I must say I am not going to have any funny stories about Don, although funny stories there…

Is it not correct, Mr. Chairman, the reason this bill is on the floor is because Republicans voted against a suspension----

Which could have easily passed to say we are against discrimination? And because 188 Republicans voted ``no,'' this bill needed to come forward because, as the chairman has just pointed out, the law is in doubt because courts have taken…

We are going to talk about hair, but this bill is about discrimination. This bill is about equality. This bill is about individual integrity. That is what this bill is about. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of this bill. I thank my…

I thank the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Neal), the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee for yielding. I thank the gentleman from Texas for joining in this effort to ensure that America speaks with a strong and certain voice…

I think that Members now know that yesterday we lost a wonderful, decent, extraordinary former Member of this body. Madam Speaker, as you know, he was from your State. His name was Vic Fazio. Some of you served with him. Most of you did…

we responded in trying to make sure that we could keep Members, staff, press, visitors as safe as possible.

I think that is much easier.

We ought to be prepared for any eventuality, such as if a new variant or virus has emerged that is deadlier.

I hope the committee will explore how proxy voting, now shown to be effective and constitutional, can be incorporated into the House's work.

What they care is Steny Hoyer stands up and expresses their views. That is what democracy is about.

Let me just say, just because we have been doing something for 200 years doesn't mean we should continue the same old, same old.
