Steny Hoyer

I thank the gentleman. When will the hearing on the rule be held so that our Members can know; so that if they have amendments they would like to offer, they can appear at the Rules Committee? And I yield to my friend. Mr. McCARTHY. I…

I thank the gentleman. I am pretty sure I understand exactly what the gentleman said. Therefore, those amendments will be offered on the floor and will not be incorporated in the base bill? Mr. McCARTHY. That is correct.

``No person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the age of twenty-five years, and been seven years a citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that State in which he shall be…

As a result, up to half a million Americans would become uninsured, and this bill would increase the deficit by $53 billion. There is not enough time to really explain all the nuances of the adverse consequences of this bill. I ask my…

We have one more vote. That will be the last time that the gentleman from Michigan, John Dingell, votes in this House after 59 years. He is a great servant of our country. I am pleased to yield to the gentleman from Ohio, Speaker Boehner.

I was simply going to observe to my friend from Oklahoma that that puts an awfully heavy burden on the presiding officer.

I thank the gentleman for his information. I note in his comments, with respect to next Thursday, that we do not expect to meet on Friday, which I understand, but it does not specifically reference that that will be the end of the session…

I thank the gentleman. Given that expectation of moving on it, does the gentleman expect or know whether or not we will deal with the ``train and equip'' authorization within the framework of the National Defense Authorization Act, or…

Is it the expectation of the Majority Leader that we would be considering an omnibus so that we would do the 12 appropriations bills in a single bill? I yield to my friend. Mr. McCARTHY of California. No decisions are made on the direction…

I thank the majority leader for that information, and we will expect to be considering those pieces of legislation. The majority leader has not mentioned, of course, four bills that I know the majority leader is focused on and are very…

I thank the gentleman. With respect to the Appropriations Committee and the CR, it is our expectation that the CR is scheduled to have a date of December 11. I notice Senator Cruz has made another suggestion. To clarify, is December 11…

I thank the gentleman. Let me ask further--and I know the answer to this question is that we will have to see, but I have put our own Caucus on notice, Mr. Leader-- if we may need to be here for the week after the break for the holy days…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. The gentleman and I have discussed this, and I believe he has taken the appropriate action in this instance, and we certainly support his determination. Mr. McCARTHY of California. I thank the gentleman…

We would like to work on that. As I said, no option has been given to us for that. Secondly, you are not following regular order on the legislation. What is needed now are resources. And the reason the Senate didn't act is because no…

I thank the gentleman. We are going to have to call some Members back. They already left on the representation that this was the last vote of the day. I would imagine you have some Members that are in that category themselves. Can the…

As I understand it, the DACA legislation is dependent upon this legislation. That was not filed 72 hours ago.

I thank the gentleman. And it makes health care services more available and accessible to veterans through additional resources for medical and other VA personnel. This, of course, is not a perfect bill. But then again, I don't think I…

I thank the gentleman for his response. Does the gentleman contemplate that that bill will include substantive changes in law or will it simply be restricted to additional resources necessary to meet the crisis that confronts this country…

I thank the gentleman for that information. As the gentleman knows full well, we have 3\1/2\ days next week. We have, I guess, 9 full days and 3 half days scheduled in September and the first couple of weeks in October, assuming that we…

This bill, this bill shirks that responsibility, adds $115 billion to the deficit, and will make the children of low-income working parents less economically secure--how sad. Reject this bill. Vote ``no.''

I thank the gentleman, and I appreciate his comments. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________

I thank the gentleman. I know he has this expectation also, but I hope that we would pass the appropriations bills individually in the manner that we have considered the previous bills on this floor. I note that the Labor-Health bill has…

This bipartisan legislation will continue to ensure that adults, youth, and dislocated workers can receive the assistance they need to succeed in the job market. It will focus resources on essential programs that most effectively serve…

Reclaiming my time, the gentleman mentioned his staff. I am not going to mention them by name because I would leave out somebody, perhaps, but I will say, Mr. Speaker, that Mr. Cantor's staff and my staff--no matter what the differences…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. The gentleman from Indiana raised his credit card. He apparently is going to use his vote as you would use a credit card, to incur an additional $73 billion in unpaid for debt.
