The gentleman, my friend, the majority leader, with whom I work in a constructive way on many, many items mentioned earlier about how children may lose their health insurance or some of our less well-off citizens who rely on Community…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding, and I rise in support of this legislation. Mr. Speaker, millions of our fellow Americans in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands are looking to Congress and the administration to work…

I thank the gentleman for his comments. I would ask him, Mr. Speaker, will the supplemental that the gentleman mentioned--which is, as I understand, approximately $29 billion, which will take care of forest fires in the West; $16 billion…
