I thank the gentleman for yielding. My friend, the gentleman from Georgia, just rose and said that this won't work. We have risen on this floor time after time after time after time and had a moment of silence followed by no action. As I…

In order for the amendment that was just passed to be passed, am I correct that you would have to vote for this bill with that amendment now? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair will put the question on the amendment and then the question…

Parliamentary inquiry. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Maryland will state his parliamentary inquiry.

The vote now is to pass the bill as amended. Am I correct? My parliamentary inquiry is, if that does not pass, am I correct that the amendment that was just voted for by so many in this House, it would be defeated if the bill is defeated…

This issue is not about a wall. It is about the Constitution. It is about this institution. It is about the balance that we say is equal between the Article I institution and the Article II institution. That is important to remember. That…

I thank the whip for his comments, and I certainly share his views. I am now pleased to yield to my friend, the gentleman from California (Mr. McCarthy), the Republican leader. Mr. McCARTHY. Mr. Speaker, I thank my friend for yielding, and…

I offer a privileged resolution (H. Res. 143) and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 143 Resolved, That Cheryl L. Johnson of the State of Louisiana, be, and is hereby, chosen Clerk of…

It is my privilege to yield to the Speaker of the House, Ms. Pelosi.

Members are advised that, with House and Senate passage of the fiscal year '19 conference report, votes are no longer expected in the House on Friday, February 15. Next votes are expected on Monday, February 25, 2019, at 6:30 p.m…

I want to thank Chairman Engel, Chairman Smith, Representative Khanna, and others for ensuring that the House expresses its views on the humanitarian catastrophe in Yemen. After the Republican leader declined to allow this resolution to…

I object. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Objection is heard. The Clerk will continue to read. The Clerk continued to read. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the amendment. The amendment was agreed to. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The…

I thank the gentleman for the question. As the gentleman knows, this bill was introduced in the last Congress in which the Republicans, his party, were in charge of the House and the Senate and the Presidency, and it did not pass the…

I thank the gentleman for his question. I am not a member of the conference committee. He quoted me in what I said. We are for border security. I am hopeful that the conference committee reports out a bill that all sides can support that…

I thank the majority leader for his remarks. Mr. McCARTHY. Mr. Chair, I thank the gentleman for the promotion.

I thank the Speaker for her retelling, very briefly, the extraordinary record of our friend and colleague, John Dingell, who made America better, who made this House better, and who believed that in doing so, it was critically important to…

My fellow colleagues, I rise with great sadness to announce the passing of one of this House's great and good Members, former Representative John David Dingell, Jr., who served in this House for almost a full six decades. His father…

I thank my friend Mr. Scalise, the Republican whip, for his comments. It is a testimony to the love and respect that John Dingell enjoyed in this House from both sides of the aisle. As I said earlier, Madam Speaker, there is no one in this…

The spirit of John Dingell was so present in that remark. Now, John Dingell apparently was not always right. He wanted to repeal the Senate, but then he wanted to replace it. Mr. Chair, John Dingell, I will tell you, I was with him…

My answer, however, is the same to the gentleman, Madam Speaker. We have a process. The bill has just been introduced. It will be referred to committee, and the committee will have it under regular order to consider. I cannot predict what…

We want to move on a bipartisan basis. The good news was that this resolution, although it failed to have a two- thirds vote, did have a bipartisan vote with more than 20 Republicans voting for it, which I appreciate. Of course, the…

I share the gentleman's view. I hope the conferees can reach an agreement that will be agreeable to the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, both the House and the Senate, and the President.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, it is hard to respond to that last speech. A bill came from the Senate unanimously, Republicans and Democrats, that would have opened the government. We would have voted for that bill, all…

I thank my friend for yielding. On Tuesday, the House will meet at 12 p.m. for morning-hour debate and 2 p.m. for legislative business following 1 minutes. The House will recess to allow for a security sweep of the House Chamber prior to…

As the gentleman knows, the conference committee has either met or is meeting. It is my understanding that Chairwoman Lowey is going to have a press conference after the first initial meeting, so that we are in a conference. That is good…

As I pointed out, additional items are possible to be added. We said that last week. We did add one. It was noticed on Monday, and we voted on it today. In effect, we met the 3- day rule, not the 72-hour rule, but that was a suspension…
