As a former uniformed police officer on the streets of one of our largest cities in America, our next speaker knows firsthand the challenges of our first responders. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Arizona (Mr…

Our next speaker is another former member of the Armed Forces who has seen combat face-to-face and knows what crisis we face today. I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from New Jersey (Ms. Sherrill).

You can't have it. While we enjoy a little levity, we understand the gravity of this situation. People will die today as a result of this virus. We have come together as Democrats and Republicans from every region of this country to…

I thank the gentleman for his comments. Mayors deal with this problem every day on the street face-to-face. They know how critical this problem is. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Rhode Island (Mr…

The House has now spoken in a clear voice and approved this bipartisan bill. If there are any developments that would require Members to return before our scheduled return date of March 23, 24 hours' notice will be provided. I want to…

I doubt that there is a person on this floor who disagrees with the premises that Mr. McCaul just stated. Soleimani was a bad person. I said during the course of debate on the Slotkin amendment, which referenced exactly that premise, that…

I claim the time in opposition to the motion to commit. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Maryland is recognized for 5 minutes.

I want to assure the gentleman that it is our view that nothing in this legislation will preclude the President of the United States from acting, either on the basis of national security or the security of our people, either from threats…

Somewhat like the recitation of the Mueller report that has been quoted--the Mueller report, of course, found substantial reason to believe that there was wrongdoing. It was projected by the Attorney General and others that the Mueller…

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 10 a.m. for morning- hour debate and 12 p.m. for…

I am pleased to be able to tell the gentleman that, this morning or late last night, we sent a response to your offer, and the committees now have that in their possession. I see they are shaking their heads that they may not think that we…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I will give a relatively short answer. First of all, there is nobody in this House on either side of the aisle--certainly none of the proponents of this legislation--who want to in any way limit the…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. The previous speaker, Mr. Green from Texas, said that it is time, that it is past time. But it is never too late to do the right thing. I am pleased that this will be a bipartisan vote. This is about…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I thank Representative Speier, Representative Maloney, and all of those who have been such warriors on this issue for such a long period of time. They are keeping the faith. This constitutional amendment…

On Monday, the Trump administration released its budget proposal for fiscal year 2021. It was titled ``A Budget for America's Future,'' but its vision for that future is bleak. Its vision of the future is the true American carnage that…

I thank the gentleman for his comment. First, let me talk about the prescription drug bill. We did pass a bill that was a compilation of six bills that had five Republican supporters when we voted on it. So there was a bipartisan bill. Let…

Starting a State of the Union with a shout of ``four more years'' reminds me more of a rally than a State of the Union. Clearly, neither the Speaker, nor any of us in any way diminished people that he introduced; some of whom I severely…

I thank the gentlewoman from the Virgin Islands (Ms. Plaskett) for yielding. I lament that, as Miss Gonzalez- Colon pointed out, she will not be able to vote on the final passage of this bill. I lament that Puerto Rico is not a State. If…

None of those individuals should take anything that was done personally. In fact, almost every one of those individuals was honored by people on this side of the aisle and that side of the aisle acknowledging them and honoring them with…

I would simply say, if we reach a consensus in the Congress--we are a coequal, separate branch of government--and whether Obama was President or whether Mr. Trump is President, I am for the Congress acting on that which it agrees. Is it…

I thank the minority whip for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I will say that 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 Monday next. On Tuesday and Wednesday…

The answer to the gentleman's question is yes. And indeed--as I think the gentleman probably knows--the leaders of the relevant committees, Mr. Neal and Mr. DeFazio--Mr. Neal on the funding side, Mr. DeFazio on the substantive side of the…

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 lay the…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, this 15- minute vote on the motion to table will be followed by 5-minute votes on: Ordering the previous question…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I have not been on the floor to hear all of the debate, but it is interesting to hear how proworker the debate is from a party that has been responsible for opposing workers' protections, workers' wages…
