First of all, I would say words are important. That is why we all debate, because we think words are important. But having said that, I share the gentleman's view, as he well knows, with reference to the BDS movement, which I think is…

My friend mentioned there are essentially four components of the bill to which he referred, three of which are noncontroversial, as the gentleman knows, and one of which has issues with respect to its constitutionality. Without resolving…

Clearly, if we get an agreement--and that, of course, is the big if, but, hopefully, we can. If we can do that, then we will want to move as quickly as possible.

If you put patients before politics, you will vote for this bill because patients care about prescription drugs, but they also care about access to affordable, quality healthcare. Now, you sent a bill to the President--or you didn't really…

I thank the dean of the California delegation and a good friend of Ellen's for yielding. Ellen was one of my closest friends in the Congress of the United States. I think Ellen and I voted the same about almost every time the lights were…

I thank my friend from Louisiana, the Republican whip, for yielding. On Monday, there will be no votes expected in the House. On Tuesday, the House will meet at 12 p.m. for morning-hour debate and 2 p.m. for legislative business, with…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. The good news is, we just passed a bipartisan bill with 34 Members from my friend's side voting in favor of that bill to give very, very substantial relief and an additional $3 billion to take care of…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. He had a lot of facts and assertions in his comments. First of all, let me correct: He adopted the President's number. The President's number was wrong. It bore no relationship to reality. He picked it…

I thank the chairman, Mr. Pallone, for the extraordinary leadership he has shown on this issue and so many others, and for his being an original drafter and sponsor of the Affordable Care Act. Sitting here, I was listening to speaker after…

Will the gentleman yield? I would like to tell the gentleman why that happened in Maryland.

As the gentleman knows, and I thank him for his observation, the bill to which he refers has essentially four parts, including a provision with reference to the MOU for Israel's assistance package, which we strongly support. We strongly…

I thank the gentleman for his comments. Of course, what the gentleman didn't say is that the last Congress had the most closed rules of any Congress in which I have served, the most closed Congress that we have served in, according to…

I thank the gentleman for his comments. I think the viewers and the Members of Congress are probably glazed over right now with these numbers, but I will tell the gentleman, there was not a single open rule in the House that was presided…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. On Tuesday, Madam Speaker, 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 Wednesday and Thursday, the House will meet…

I appreciate the gentleman's comments. I won't respond to his initial comments. Obviously, we have a disagreement on the impact that the administration has had on preexisting conditions and on the section to which we are referring. But we…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. The point of reciting the dollars that were included just some weeks ago to the administration is to point out that they had clearly significant sums with which to operate now, and we will see what funds…

The overwhelming majority of scientists in the world, not just in the United States, believe that climate change is one of the major crises confronting the global community. We went to Paris, and the world community got together and…

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…

Yesterday morning, a number of us met with President Trump at the White House to discuss the importance of investing in twenty-first century infrastructure.

I want to congratulate you for your leadership, and I want to also thank you for your leadership in our meeting with the President yesterday.

That is why it is one of the three core components of the Make It In America plan I've been proud to lead.

The shooting that targeted the Jewish community in the San Diego area this weekend was a heartbreaking reminder of the new challenges facing our country and the world in the 21st century. In centuries past, purveyors of anti-Semitism…

Yesterday was the last day of the session of the General Assembly in Maryland. Sadly, the day before, on Sunday, the longest serving speaker of the house of delegates--as we call our house of representatives--died on Sunday, and I rise to…

I thank the gentlewoman from Minnesota (Mrs. Craig) for yielding and I thank my friend, Mr. Meadows, for his comments, for his support of this effort, which is, as he said and as Congresswoman Craig said, very much about giving young…

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…
