This is, indeed, a bipartisan problem that must have bipartisan solutions.

I want to first thank the person in my office who worked far harder than I did. I just took her phone calls and talked to Mr. Pallone and talked to Mr. Shimkus from time to time. Mary Frances Repko is one of the hardest working staff…

This is why I am proud to cosponsor the Information Technology Modernization Act that was recently proposed by the Obama administration and introduced in the House by my colleague from the State of Maryland, Congressman Steny Hoyer.

I want to thank Ranking Member Eleanor Holmes Norton for her untiring advocacy on behalf of Metro and all those who ride it.

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 241, noes 183, not voting 9, as follows: [Roll No. 227] AYES--241 Abraham Aderholt Allen Amash Amodei Babin Barletta Barr…

I rise for the purpose of inquiring of the schedule for the week to come. Madam Speaker, I thought I saw the whip. I am prepared to yield to someone to tell us the schedule for the week to come. Pending someone telling me about the…

I did not hear and, therefore, was not able to ask for a recorded vote on the motion to rise. The Speaker did not articulate that so the House could hear it, and I request a vote on the motion to rise. Now, the Speaker may tell me we are…

I thank the gentleman. Mr. Speaker, it appears that no one is going to be able to tell me what the schedule is for the week to come. I will tell you that that is unfortunate. I hope there is a schedule for the week to come because there is…

Reclaiming my time, it seems what the gentleman is saying is that people vote not to discriminate, and then some time a little later on, they have an epiphany that perhaps discrimination is okay. Perhaps that is what the gentleman said.

I thank the gentleman for his comments. But let me make an observation. I wish the gentleman would stay in the well because he might want to respond. I did not accuse the Republican Party of discriminating. I will not, at this point in…

If I could just finish my sentence, I will certainly do that. I talked to the Parliamentarians. Interestingly, the presiding officer did not ask: Does any Member want to change his vote? Because once that, as I understand it, is intoned…

I thank the gentleman for his comments. And the gentleman will observe, I have neither mentioned the names, nor did I impugn their integrity or their motivation. What I said and what I will repeat is, initially they voted for an amendment…

I ask for a recorded vote on the adoption of the amendment. Which amendment is the Speaker talking about? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair has put the question on the amendments reported from the Committee of the Whole.

On the motion to rise, yes, sir. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair has put the question on the adoption of the amendments.

I didn't hear the Chair request change. But I do know that, from my own personal observation, not one of those Members who apparently changed their vote--because it kept changing on the board-- came to this well and had the courage to…

The parliamentary inquiry is: How can the vote change when no one comes to the well to change their vote? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair may not yet have made a request for changes.

I saw no one come to the desk to change their vote, Mr. Speaker. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Does the gentleman have a parliamentary inquiry?

I want to raise a parliamentary inquiry, initially, with reference to the fact that Mr. Ryan, our Speaker, has told us that, if people were in the well, the vote would be held open. I was standing in the well. No one came or no one had the…

I like Mr. Diaz-Balart. But if I get sick, I hope it doesn't take 90 days for the emergency responders to come to my aid. February 22 is when the administration said we needed this money. Almost 90 days later, we are talking about…

I thank the gentleman for protecting us from ourselves. That seems to be somewhat paternalistic, of course. As I understand it--and I was not there, but it wouldn't have mattered whether I was in the Committee on Rules--it was not done in…

Representative Vern Buchanan of Florida, who supports the President's request, said last week--not Steny Hoyer, a Democrat--but Vern Buchanan, a Republican: ``All Members of Congress should take this virus seriously and put aside…

I thank the gentleman from Massachusetts for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to this rule. This is not consistent with what the Speaker and the other leaders of the Republican Party have said they were going to do. It is…

Ladies and gentlemen, we ought to reject this rule, and the American people ought to reject this rule. The American people ought to say: bring the issues to the floor and let the House work its will. That is why they elected us, not to…

I thank my friend, the ranking member and former chairman of the Judiciary Committee, and, if I could say, in a bipartisan bill, maybe the next chairman of the Judiciary Committee, with all due respect to my friend Mr. Goodlatte. I thank…

I thank the gentleman for that information as to the schedule. As I am sure he knows, I will want to ask him some questions about things that are not yet scheduled and, of course, the next week we will take a recess. {time} 1130 As the…
