I thank the gentleman for his comments. Mr. Speaker, the legislation we will be considering next week, I am sure, has support in a number of quarters. The majority leader mentioned, in the last line, that we will be considering efforts to…

I thank the gentleman. In addition to the CR, which is necessary to fund government, we have a crisis in America, a health crisis. We spent a lot of time talking about it last time. We won't spend a long time, but Zika continues to be a…

I thank the majority leader for that. Let me say that I would hope, given the fact that we have a maximum of eight or nine legislative days left before the end of the fiscal year, end of the September 30 fiscal year, that the CR hopefully…

I thank the gentlewoman for taking this Special Order hour. We are all sad and lament the fact that an extraordinary human being was taken from us far too early. I tell my colleagues, this picture says it all: that wonderful, warm…

I thank the gentleman for that schedule. I won't discuss any of the bills that the gentleman mentioned on the schedule, but I do want to note a couple of absences. One is, of course, the continuing resolution. As the gentleman knows, after…

Reclaiming my time, they are not blocking anything. They passed a bill 68-30. They sent it here, and it was blocked from coming to the floor. And it would have passed. If you believe, as you asked me, do I believe, should we consider…

I would be glad to yield to the gentleman. Mr. McCARTHY. I would ask the gentleman to join with me, then, in requesting that the Democrats on the Senate--the filibuster denies the bill to even come up for debate, let alone it be voted for…

I do. That is why we didn't have a lot of debate because we were asking for Mr. King's bills to be brought to the floor, as I recall. So I do believe in that. Mr. McCARTHY. Will the gentleman yield to me?

I would be glad to yield to my friend. Mr. McCARTHY. The only thing I want to clarify here is: Do you believe in debate and having the opportunity for people to air different sides?

Reclaiming my time, Mr. Speaker, that language was clearly designed, as the gentleman knows, as the staff knows, and as has been publicized, to preclude one of the agencies that delivers health care in Puerto Rico from doing so, and that…

Reclaiming my time, Mr. Speaker, is the gentleman aware that the major deliverer of health services to women in Puerto Rico is through Planned Parenthood? Is the gentleman aware of that? I yield to the gentleman. Mr. McCARTHY. Did the…

I will be glad to yield to my friend. I have a comment, but I will yield to him first. Mr. McCARTHY. Mr. Speaker, to the gentleman across the aisle, it is true, we work closely together on the big issues, and we try to find common ground…

I did vote against that. Mr. McCARTHY. If the gentleman would please explain to me what---- The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair would remind Members to direct their remarks to the Chair.

I understand the majority wants to vote for what they want us to vote for. They don't want to reach a bipartisan---- Mr. McCARTHY. You voted against that. Explain.

I could get very animated in my answer. The fact of the matter is, what the majority leader represents, in my view, is inaccurate. The Senate sent us a bipartisan bill, and because you think you needed to serve some of your most hard-line…

Well, I presume that. I presume that the majority--and I will say this, that for whatever reasons--and your party is in control of both the House and the Senate. Yes, we have the Presidency, the Democrats, but no bills have reached his…

Reclaiming my time, as the gentleman and I both know, no appropriations bills have been enacted. As I pointed out, forgetting about who is to blame--and I am sure you and I have different perspectives on that--the fact of the matter is…

The majority party rejected the bipartisan legislation that came from the Senate with 68 votes. That is more than two-thirds of the Senate. Half of the Republicans in the United States Senate passed that bill over to us, and we could have…

I regret that I rise to oppose this bill. I have historically and repeatedly worked in a bipartisan fashion to bring bills to this floor that were supported by both parties as it relates to the security of Israel. This bill comes to the…

Normally, I would be having a colloquy with the majority leader about the schedule for the week to come, but there is no schedule for the week to come, and there is no schedule for 6 weeks thereafter. We were scheduled to meet tomorrow to…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I thank him for taking this Special Order. I thank the gentlewoman from Ohio for that eloquent and passionate plea to put negligence aside, to put inaction aside, and to understand that in this House, we…

Reserving the right to object, of course, I will not object, but I do want to thank the majority leader and I want to thank the Speaker. We have all joined in this resolution. It is almost exactly like that which we passed for Ronald…

I thank the gentleman for his comments. My hope, Mr. Speaker, is that all of us will be willing to be a part of that solution, not of the problem. I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________

I thank the gentleman. Mr. Speaker, normally, the colloquy between the majority leader and myself on the schedule might be lengthier than it will be today. This week has been a sobering week, a sad week. I want to congratulate Speaker Ryan…

All of us were deeply shocked and heartbroken to learn of the assassination of five police officers in Dallas last night. Nothing can ever justify the cold-blooded murders of those who have sworn to protect and serve. Such an act does…
