Across the river from the Eiffel Tower, in the middle of a major traffic circle in Paris, one can see a majestic statue of his brother-in-arms, George Washington, raising his sword high in a triumphant salute. Lafayette and his French…

I want to thank the chairman and the ranking member for bringing this resolution to the floor. It is sad that we bring this resolution to the floor, and it is sad that too often we see the results of terrorism around the world. Mr…

It is why, no matter what historians in the future call ISIS or ISIL or Daesh, they will surely be using only the past tense. It is why the people of France and America and all who cherish the freedom to think, to speak, to worship, and to…

Given that there is no logical distinction to explain why these other laws should apply to tribes but the NLRA should not, the only plausible explanation is that this legislation is a precursor of other legislation and says, once again, we…

I thank the gentleman. Mr. Speaker, what we do not support is taking away protections from American workers, Native and non-Native alike, who work in commercial enterprises owned by tribes. All of our people deserve the chance to earn a…

I thank the gentleman from Virginia for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I want to also say to my friend from Tennessee (Mr. Roe), he and I are good friends and have done a lot of work together, but on this we disagree. I want to say, Mr. Speaker…

I thank the gentlewoman. I am sorry I don't have more time. Madam Chairman, this is a bill about jobs. The amendment is about killing jobs, as he wants to kill the Bank, the gentleman who sponsored this amendment. That is all it is. Every…

First, I would say I was moved by the remarks of the gentleman who just spoke, and I know we all join him in his sentiments. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an individual who has made a remarkable impact on higher education in…

I thank the gentleman. I need 10 minutes at least to respond to that assertion. There is no party with whom I have served over the last 35 years that has been any more into self-flagellation of the United States Government, the American…

It is a Senate bill and a House bill that are exactly the same. If they had been passed alone, they would be on the President's desk right now. Once again, we need to help American exporters; but more importantly than that, we need to help…

But I will tell you that I disagree with the gentleman's basic premise. He talks about the rule. The rule is not the issue. I am against this rule. Its substance, that is what the gentleman from Oregon was talking about. He was talking…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. As a former majority leader, I want to tell my friend that the enthusiasm of the Members for late nights has a very short fuse, but I appreciate his efforts. Mr. McCARTHY. Well, I do thank the gentleman…

I thank the gentlelady. I thank the gentleman from Maryland for yielding. I thank him for his outstanding leadership as ranking member of the Budget Committee on fiscal stability and fiscal responsibility and his willingness to lead in…

I listen to this welfare-state rhetoric. The American public ought to know that 147 Republicans voted to reauthorize the Export-Import Bank just a few years ago under the leadership of Mr. Cantor and myself. It was not until the…

Reclaiming my time, I thank Mr. Fincher, I thank Mr. Lucas, I thank Ms. Waters, I thank Ms. Moore, and I thank Denny Heck. Vote for this motion to put a bill on the floor that the majority supports. That is democracy.

I thank my friend for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I will say to my friend from Texas, there were 3 years to do exactly that. It wasn't done. I thank the gentleman from Tennessee for yielding, and I thank him for his courage and Mr. Lucas'…

It is hard to answer that presentation because, in my view, it conflates two issues. I have been on this floor willing to deal with the other side on a regular basis to bring down our debt and to apply discipline. Part of applying…

I appreciate the majority leader's admonition, but the government was shut down because we wouldn't repeal the Affordable Care Act. In other words, the government was taken hostage because we wouldn't repeal the Affordable Care Act. We…

That is a nice theory, nice rhetoric. We don't have an agreement on a number of things the gentleman says. What we do have agreement on, I presume, is that the gentleman, the majority leader from California, wants to see a solvent nation…

No, I didn't refer to you---- Mr. McCARTHY. So what you heard from me--and let me say my own words once again, and I will be very clear about it. I said we will deal with this next week. I also said we are having bipartisan discussions. I…

I thank the gentleman for that information, and I want to join him. He and I both had the opportunity to speak to participants in the Hackathon that is going on as we speak. Mr. Cantor and I were cooperative in this effort as well, and Mr…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I have been here for some period of time, and I have heard a lot about caucuses. But I would like to see us do what the gentleman from Indiana says, although I disagree with him on his conclusion. I…

I join my friend, Mr. Forbes, in opposition to this amendment. This amendment would harm America's national security. Under the program that it seeks to eliminate, the Pentagon reserves capacity on roughly 60 U.S.-flagged commercial ships…

That is the answer I expected. That is the answer I have been getting. And, very frankly, that is the answer this House has been getting. I know some of my Republican friends are very frustrated by that answer, and I know all of our side…

I thank the leader. I hope that optimism is realized and that we do have the opportunity to consider a highway bill. I would urge the majority leader to urge those who are working on a resolution that the pay-fors, which are difficult, as…
