I don't know the status of those bills. I will check on the status of those bills. Let me say, Mr. Speaker, there is a tragedy occurring at our border. There are people in grievous circumstances and in unbearable danger in their home…

I have advised Members that, obviously, we have a lot of work to do and that we have scheduled a number of workweeks, committee workweeks--which, by the way, I think have been very successful. We started those in June of last year, and I…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, this is not a partisan issue. Very frankly, the CR that was brought to the floor the other day would have said we are going to pay the debts of the United States because we don't welch…

I thank the gentlewoman from Connecticut for yielding, and I want to congratulate her for the job that she has done not in only passing 9 of the 12 appropriation bills that are over in the Senate, which, unfortunately, have not been…

Is it appropriate on the floor of the House to tell the truth? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is not stating a proper parliamentary inquiry.

How pleased our friend would be that Nikema Williams is presiding, his successor. He was one of her mentors. Madam Speaker, how proud you must be to preside at this critical time in our history. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman from…

I have an amendment at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Page 2, after line 5, insert the following: SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS. (a) Congressional…

I thank the gentleman for making that point, although I am somewhat sorry because I was going to make the same point. But I am going to make another point. First of all, let me say to those who may be watching, the gentleman who just spoke…

As everybody knows, I had the delightful opportunity of serving on the Appropriations Committee as an active member for 23 years. I am on leave, and I may be on leave forever, who knows, but I care a lot about these bills. These are the…

I repeat my admiration for the chair and the work that she has done and the staff has done. I thank them very much. I might say that the ranking member, who is speaking on this bill, is, A, a dear friend of mine, and, very frankly, a…

I have a motion at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Hoyer moves that the resolution be laid on the table. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to table…

Democrats want to talk to people who were in the room with President Trump.

I thank the gentleman for his comments. As he knows, the President of the United States has strongly expressed support of those who are seeking freedom and liberty in Cuba. He said that shortly after the demonstrations occurred. He has…

If you mention Jerry Lewis from California, our Jerry Lewis probably wouldn't be the first one you would think of. You would think of Dean Martin's sidekick. When I first met Jerry Lewis some 40 years ago, I guess, now--how long has Jerry…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, it is appropriate that my colleague from Maryland, the distinguished Anthony Brown, is presiding, having served in Iraq and served in the U.S. Army for a 30-year stint. Mr. Speaker, I want…

I think the gentleman can explain it. I think, frankly, your party is hoist on its own petard. We brought to this floor, with Mr. Katko and Mr. Thompson agreeing on the process, offering to the House an equally divided five-and-five…

I thank the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Scalise), 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 10:30 p.m. On Tuesday, the House will…

I thank the gentleman for his comments. He is certainly accurate that the Hyde amendment has been in our bills for a very long period of time. What I think is not completely accurate is that it has been a bipartisan support, has enjoyed…

The legislation we passed said the Speaker would appoint all the members. These Members were not kicked off; they never got on. Liz Cheney was asked whether that was the appropriate thing to do, and her response was--you had her quote: ``I…

Well, I clearly know we don't share that view, but it was referenced that, well she may have told the truth but she ought to stop telling the truth. And that was one of the references that were made as you replaced her as your third in…

Clearly, when you were in charge, you didn't look at some of the incidents that happened while you were in charge that were similar in nature. Very frankly, I think those incidents ought to be looked at, but not by this commission because…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. You had an opportunity to support the police and you voted with those who wanted to defund the police. All of you had an opportunity, just a few weeks ago while we had a bill on the floor, to support, to…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. We have brought them to the floor. We are going to continue to bring them to the floor, and we hope Republicans support them. We created 3 million new jobs; more jobs in our first 5 months than any…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Your side had an opportunity to support the Capitol Police. Your side had an opportunity to support law enforcement. Your side had the opportunity to increase the capability of the Capitol Police to…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. It was not radical spending in 2020, because Trump signed the bills. Trump left, and it became radical spending. That is situational ethics, Mr. Speaker. I will leave it at that.
