I thank Ms. Titus, and I thank the chairman for bringing the bill to the floor. I rise in strong support. Mr. Speaker, it is with great honor every year that I have the opportunity to introduce this resolution and to support it on the…

I am constrained to say that the gentlewoman mentioned the progrowth administration. We had some 98 months of growth following the worst recession she and I have experienced in our lifetimes under the policies of the Bush administration…

A moment of silence is not enough. I did not respond to the invitation of the gentleman from Texas to come and stand here. I lost a young woman at Great Mills High School in my district. I visited with her parents, I went to her funeral…

Am I not correct that you called for the yeas and nays and that you interrupted the vote while it was in progress? From a parliamentary perspective, is that the power of the Speaker to interrupt a rollcall vote for the purposes of…

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 183, noes 163, answered ``present'' 1, not voting 80, as follows: [Roll No. 206] AYES--183 Abraham Allen Amodei Babin…

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…

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…
