I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Speaker, it is a two-House legislature. One is led by Republicans; one is led by Democrats. The reason we don't have 302(b) is because the Senate couldn't agree with itself on 302(b)s. I talked to…

The whip continues to ignore the fact that there were very different circumstances. There were two special prosecutors with respect to Nixon and one special prosecutor with respect to Mr. Clinton. That was a radically different position…

No, the rules of the committee in terms of subpoenas and witnesses. We are following that rule. He complains about it. Madam Speaker, he hasn't answered the substantive question. They don't have an answer to the substantive question…

Does the gentleman not trust Mr. Nunes? Apparently, there is no answer to that question. Mr. Nunes is the ranking Republican and very close friend, associate, and defender of the President of the United States. He is there to hear every…

There is no such rule. There are no requirements for any committee to undertake any investigation that you have to have a rule passed by this House. And the gentleman apparently thinks that, by having an investigation and an inquiry…

Before I do that, let me say, collusion, by the way, my friend, is not a crime. What, however, Mr. Mueller did find is that there was reason to believe that there was obstruction of justice, which is a crime. He said, however, that, under…

Today, Mr. Speaker, is a sad day. It is a sad day for us; it is a sad day for this institution; and it is a sad day for America. We have lost a wonderful human being, a good and decent human being, a human being who made a difference for…

I thank the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi), Speaker of the House, for her remarks. I know Elijah felt very strongly about her and his support of her and her leadership and how proud he was that she was from the city of Baltimore…

I have the sad task of announcing what probably most of you already know. We have lost a great American, a decent American, a wonderful Member of this body, Elijah Cummings, who died early this morning of illnesses he had been suffering…

I thank the gentleman for his remarks. Mr. Speaker, in that spirit, I will ask for a moment of silence. But before I do that, let me mirror the remarks of the leader on the other side of the aisle. A moment of silence will not be enough to…

I offer a privileged resolution and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 635 Resolved, That the House has heard with profound sorrow of the death of the Honorable Elijah E. Cummings, a…

The president's rationale for doing this, both publicly and in our meeting yesterday said, look, I said in the campaign, I was going to get the troops out of the Middle East.

I think the Turks are right. They got exactly what they wanted. And very frankly, probably the Iranians got what they wanted. Perhaps the Syrians got what they wanted to getting ISIS out of their territory.

It wasn't fine. It clearly was a quid pro quo. It didn't need to be stated this is the quid and that's the pro.

Well, essentially, what I understand, I didn't hear Mulvaney say it, but I understand he said yes, there was a quid pro quo, and in fact get daring people to get over it because that's foreign policy.

I love my 1 minute. I also love my glasses, so I can read what I want to say here. Thank you very much. I rushed up from my office. I was on a conference call. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for keeping it open. I want to thank Mr. McCaul for…

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…

Read the bill, read the amendment that they offered. Eric Cantor called MTRs a gimmick. This is the gimmick of gimmicks. It does nothing for veterans' healthcare, not a single thing. You know it. I know it. Everybody in this House knows…

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…

It has nothing to do with the standard of care at the VA, managed by the administration, which, of course, has had the Presidency for the last 3 years. Whether you pay $5 for prescription drugs or $50 for prescription drugs, that is not…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, the gentleman didn't answer my question, of course.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I know that Mr. Clyburn and the Clyburn family very much appreciate his condolences and his remarks. Jim Clyburn and I have known each other for over half a century. His wife, Emily, he met…

I thank the gentleman for his question. I don't have a timetable, but I share his view that we want to move this along. As I told him, and the Speaker was on the floor, we were trying to get to ``yes'' on this. Again, we appreciate…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, let me first say, if the gentleman wants to pursue bipartisanship--I know that they all want to use the word ``socialist,'' which was egregiously misidentified in an ad that I wrote to Mr…

We brought a bill to the floor that the gentleman spoke about that prohibited pay for delay, prohibited drug companies from paying generics not to bring their drugs to the market so that drug prices would be lower for consumers. Mr…
