Dan Kildee

I am opposed. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Kildee moves to recommit the bill H.R. 985 to the Committee on the Judiciary with instructions to report the same back to…

We would certainly hate to see the entire housing market impacted by our inability to move and agree with you to get a longer-term reauthorization.

I think many of us on the committee and in this room know what happens when there is uncertainty in these markets.

But the President, in putting forth a budget proposal that requires additional deep cuts to discretionary spending, is being reckless.

Spending less than 3 percent of GDP on our domestic programs that provide support for public education, job training, medical research, nutritional assistance and so much more, frankly is unacceptable.

A budget is a statement of our nation's values. I believe we should be making investments in policies that grow our economy and create good-paying jobs, protect public health, and provide more opportunity and economic security for working…

I am proud today to have Dr. Mona Hanna- Attisha, the daughter of Iraqi-American scientists, the physician who helped expose the Flint water crisis, as my guest at the joint session and the address by the President tonight. Simply put, Dr…

I thank my friend for her incredible leadership on this issue. Rather than working across the aisle with Democrats to grow our economy, to rebuild older communities, to create new jobs, Republicans are, again, focused on attacking women's…

National Security Adviser Michael Flynn's resignation is no substitute for answers to the serious questions that remain over President Trump's questionable connections to Russia, to Vladimir Putin. Federal investigators believe that Flynn…

Republicans are moving ahead with the repeal of ObamaCare--but years later, after all the talk, they still have no replacement. Six weeks into control of this Congress and of this government--all branches--there is no plan. From today's…

It is important that the growth of the last 8 years is not put at risk through wholesale repeal of the legislative framework.

The new Administration enters with a tailwind of economic growth at its back.

This is not who we are. The executive order that the President is executing does not reflect our American values. It is not consistent with a clear statement in our Constitution that we do not discriminate on the basis of national origin…

I thank my friend for yielding. Madam Speaker, like many of us this past Saturday, I marched in Washington with millions of women across the country claiming their human rights and claiming their basic individuals rights. Madam Speaker…

I was really disappointed that, on his first day in office, President Trump took action through executive order to make it more difficult for hardworking families to own a home. With this executive order that the President signed, again…

Last night, President Obama delivered his farewell address to the Nation. Today, I rise to thank President Obama for his steady and his strong leadership over the past 8 years. He has served this Nation with dignity, with purpose, and…

I thank my friend from New York (Mr. Tonko) for yielding and for his work advocating on behalf of the people of my hometown, Flint. I also want to thank colleagues on both sides of the aisle: Leader Pelosi; our whip, Mr. Hoyer; the Speaker…

I thank my friend and colleague, the ranking member, for yielding and for her work on behalf of my hometown of Flint. She has been one of the strong advocates. Mr. Speaker, no piece of legislation that I have yet seen in the 4 years I have…

I thank my friend and colleague for her leadership and for yielding. Let's just be clear. We know what this is. This is yet another attempt to fund with Federal taxpayer dollars a Republican messaging effort to attack Planned Parenthood…

We need to make sure that we are pursuing scientific research to fight diseases like diabetes, like Alzheimer's, and like multiple sclerosis, a disease my wife, Jennifer, has been fighting for 18 years. {time} 1545 We are one of those…

My hometown of Flint--I am sure you have heard me talk about this before--continues to suffer in this crisis. One hundred thousand people, citizens of that city, still can't drink their water, which has been exposed to high levels of lead…

I thank my friend, the ranking member, and Chairman Royce for their work on this really important piece of legislation. For 5 years--for 5 long years--the world has witnessed this terrible tragedy unfold before our eyes. Nearly half a…

Again, I thank my colleagues. I hope and pray that I have strong bipartisan support for this effort. It has surely been demonstrated by my friends who have spoken. This is one of those issues that should and ought to transcend some of the…

This amendment is something, obviously, I have been working on for some time. It would bring urgently needed aid to my hometown of Flint, Michigan. For over a year, the Flint water crisis has been public, and we have not yet been able to…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of title I, add the following: SEC. 1__. ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE. Section 219 of the Water…
