I thank the gentleman for his comment. Of course, there was no budget last year until very, very late in the year. What was done was what we will certainly make sure we do very early on, which is to try to establish the numbers, which, of…
Well, of course, as the gentleman well knows, we have, Madam Speaker, passed many substantive pieces of legislation. We have sent to the Senate H.R. 1, a very broad-reaching reform bill trying to ensure voting rights and access for…
As I said, I agree with the gentleman's objective and position with respect to BDS. The committee has legislation before it and is considering it. As you know, Mr. Schneider and Mr. Nadler, I think, are the cosponsors of that legislation…
As the gentleman knows, we share views, as he has expressed, and we are awaiting committee action. When the committee acts, we will make a determination of how to go forward.
I thank my friend, Mr. Scalise, for yielding. I also thank him for not mentioning the LSU-Maryland game one more time.
What it found is six of the President's closest associates--his campaign manager, his deputy campaign manager, his foreign policy adviser, his national security adviser, his lawyer and counsel for over a decade--all committed crimes. All…
I asked the gentleman a simple question. He asked me about when the budget was coming, and I asked him when did he bring the budget to the floor last year.
It is a very interesting question, Mr. Speaker, that the minority whip asked me. I would ask, in response, a question: Does the minority whip remember when last year, when you were in charge, you brought the budget to the floor?
I anticipated this was going to be an extraordinarily hostile colloquy. Louisiana was so incredibly lucky. However, it cost me, I admit to the world, I guess. I hope I don't get in legal trouble. But the Republican whip and I had a little…
I thank the gentleman for his yielding and his comments. Let me simply add, we can honor that by our words and our actions today, and tomorrow, and every day thereafter.
Exactly. The three Jews that were mentioned were all Democrats, and the Koch brothers were not mentioned.
Why in his comment did he mention three Americans of Jewish descent but didn't mention the Koch brothers, and by the way, didn't mention the gentleman from Nevada?
I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, the House will meet at 12 p.m. for morning- hour debate and 2 p.m. for legislative business, with votes postponed until 6:30 p.m. On Tuesday and Wednesday, the House will meet at…
I thank the gentleman for his comments. I know that I speak on behalf of all the Members of the House to wish Virgil Godspeed, great success in the future, and great happiness.
I thank the gentleman for yielding. As I have expressed, the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Richmond), my friend, would like to have a moment.
The reason Tip O'Neill and Ronald Reagan were able to do something which funded Social Security and made it stable for a lot of years was because they held hands.
There has to be an agreement, or we are going to be in a position where we have gridlock again.
My view would be, obviously, we control the House now. That is a difference in the political.
I think the debt limit is a totally phony issue, absolutely dead flat phony. I think it is a political issue only.
The bottom line is the majority of the Congress does not believe we can live within the sequester caps.
I have consistently advocated for making the difficult decisions necessary not only to stop adding to the deficit, but to reverse the long-term fiscal trends that threaten our future economic prosperity.
The budget process is broken. That is not good for the Congress, it is not good for the American people.
You will not get a handle on the--meeting the needs both of national security and of domestic security without really fiscal confrontations unless we agree together.
I offer a privileged resolution (H. Res. 143) and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 143 Resolved, That Cheryl L. Johnson of the State of Louisiana, be, and is hereby, chosen Clerk of…
