Although it was not on this list, I wonder if we might expect a budget resolution to be offered at some point in time in the future. Mr. Speaker, I yield to my friend. Mr. McCARTHY. Mr. Speaker, I thank my friend for yielding. Even though…

I certainly will yield to my friend. Mr. McCARTHY. Mr. Speaker, if the gentleman has any idea, because I know he has served on the Appropriations Committee, please offer up, like any Member can, what he would cut or what he wants to find…

I thank the gentleman. Of course, April 15 is the day set forth. Many times we did not meet April 15. Clearly, last year we didn't meet April 15 by many, many months, but I appreciate the gentleman's answers. Let me say that I will be…

I thank the gentleman for his comments. He mentioned a number of facts. Economically, I think all of us can be happy that unemployment is down. The gentleman then mentioned that there are less unemployment requests being made. Is the…

The gentleman has not answered either one of my questions, A, whether there was a single red cent available in the Defense Department for rescission, because that money has been laying there 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 years. Is there a…

Is the gentleman aware that there are $95 billion of unobligated funds in the Department of Defense? I yield to the gentleman. Mr. McCARTHY. That is great. Will the gentleman offer an amendment to the bill?

2000, as I recall, when Mr. Clinton was President. Mr. McCARTHY. Yes, 18 years ago. Do you know that the claims for unemployment are at the lowest point it has been in more than four decades? That is more than 40 years. Do you know, just…

I thank the gentleman for the information and for the bonus of a little longer-term view of what we might be considering on the floor of the House. One of the things I didn't hear on that, and perhaps I asked the majority leader about this…

On March 24, I was in Morristown, New Jersey, with former Assistant U.S. Attorney Mikie Sherrill, where we attended the March for Our Lives. The March for Our Lives was organized by students around the country to speak out against gun…

Does, in fact, the Speaker of the House have the right to remove the Chaplain? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman's inquiry does not relate to the pending proceedings. The matter that is before the House at the present time is a…

Further parliamentary inquiry. Are we in the position where the House will be unable to speak to the issue of removing the official, i.e. the Chaplain, elected by the whole House? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is no longer…

Is it correct that the Chaplain is elected by the whole House to be the Chaplain of the House of Representatives? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair is not going to respond to the matter as expressed by the gentleman. As stated, the issue…

This week, Democrats are highlighting our ``Better Deal'' that we are offering the American people. One area where this Republican Congress has given the American people a bad deal is healthcare. Because of their repeated attempts to…

When Americans pay their taxes, as millions did yesterday, they expect, rightfully, that their tax dollars will be used to benefit the many, not just the few; however, that has not been this Republican Congress' approach. The tax law…

Louise Slaughter was a scientist, and she approached her work in this House with scientific precision. She found that special formula for success: mix an extraordinary work ethic with a deep intellect and love of her community, and the…

Reclaiming my time, the majority leader and I serve in a coequal branch of government. We don't serve at the pleasure of the President, nor should we go hand in hand to the President of the United States and say: Can we do this? The…

Reclaiming my time, we go round and round on that. Obviously, when we talked about family reunification, you had an offer that you said you were making on behalf of the President that clearly undermined the ability to sponsor, by some…

Reclaiming my time, will the majority leader tell me when I voted to shut down the government? Does he have a cite there? I yield to my friend. Mr. McCARTHY. Once I finish this, I will give my friend the date. Tuesday, on the gentleman's…

Reclaiming my time, I will look at those references. I did vote to shut down, certainly, I think in--I am not sure of the January date. When we had the majority, won that vote, the majority leader came back to the floor within a few hours…

I thank the gentleman for that information. I am constrained to observe that, from my perspective, it will be the last year that we will not start creating extraordinarily more debt for our country. But that aside, let me ask the gentleman…

I thank the gentleman for his comments. The issue is, of course, not oversight. We believe that there ought to be oversight. The gentleman is correct, I voted ``no.'' The gentleman voted ``yes.'' Many of his colleagues voted ``no'' with…

I rise for the purpose of inquiring of the majority leader the schedule for the week to come, and I yield to the gentleman from California (Mr. McCarthy). (Mr. McCARTHY asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr…

Reclaiming my time, is the gentleman saying that, when we had discussions in your office and you wanted to eliminate the option to sponsor mothers and fathers by their children, was not that not part of the offer that you discussed in your…

Currently. Mr. McCARTHY. Right as of today, currently, you are only allowing 65,000 for brothers and sisters. That is not a mother, and that is not a child. Right now, today, there is more than a 30-year wait. So what we proposed is that…

I'll be glad to hear the explanation. Mr. McCARTHY. So, when someone comes here, they can petition others. They can petition their parents. They can petition their children. They can petition their spouse.
