I thank my friend for yielding. This is an unprecedented moment for this country, and it is important that this Congress respond in a way consistent with this threat. We have differences about this bill. There are things in it that many of…

I do share the concern about Congress reasserting its authority.

I wonder if you might comment. This may have been covered before I arrived, it has been a busy day.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I stand in strong support of Representative Lee's resolution to repeal the 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force against Iraq. The Constitution is unambiguous; it is clear: Congress has the power…

I thank Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley and Chairwoman Maxine Waters for their leadership on this legislation and for advocating for consumers. The credit reporting system in this country is not consumer focused and is in need of a major…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 134, line 25, before ``in an area'' insert ``or works''. Page 135, beginning on line 5, strike ``the…

I appreciate my friend's expression. We served together my first 6 years on the Financial Services Committee. And if the event occurs that we need to pursue this relief in another fashion, I would look to forward to working with him. But…

It does seem to me do we not only good fiscal policy but good policy in general for us to make these sorts of significant investments.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I want to thank Congresswoman Susie Lee and Chairman Bobby Scott for their leadership on advocating for America's students. In the economy that we are in today, some kind of postsecondary training…

the federal government does have a role--can have a greater role, I think, in supporting that.

we just haven't provided the support at a scale equal to the need in many of these communities.

We ought to consult the Constitution, which clearly vests that authority in this Congress. We ought not fear that authority and outsource it to the executive branch. We ought to embrace that authority and be willing to make that decision…

I appreciate the gentleman's concern. I think we may simply have a disagreement as to whether or not there is a legitimate Federal role in ensuring that this information is readily available. I understand the point about States, but I…

You raise an excellent point. The issue is, we could mandate, if you would choose to, that States provide information on a website that is easily discernible. The problem is that while wells and other sources may be tested--I don't know if…

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, add the following section: SEC. 19. HOUSEHOLD WELL WATER TESTING WEBSITE. (a) In General.--Not…

I urge my colleagues to adopt this. Just to be clear, I support the underlying legislation, obviously. The amendment simply requires that we provide an opportunity for people who are potentially going to be affected by PFAS, particularly…

One community I represent is Oscoda, a small town in the northern part of my district. It was once the home of the Wurtsmith Air Force Base. Even though that base closed more than two decades ago, the Oscoda community is now dealing with…

I thank my friend, Mr. Engel, for yielding. I am troubled by aspects of this debate. I think it is fine that we have different views, but to hear some on the other side characterize the position of those who support this resolution as…

This is a sad day for our country and for our democracy. The President has abused the powers of his office, betrayed the public trust, and undermined America's national security by pressuring a foreign government to interfere in our…

I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I thank my friends, Mr. Suozzi and Mr. King, for offering this resolution, and particularly Mr. Suozzi for his leadership on this issue. Like many Members who have spoken, I am proud of my own Irish…

I will take help from anyone who will step up and help tell this story to the American people.

Let us not be afraid of a movie. We should be afraid of the story that that movie tells.

This is a chance to get real protection to the president's desk signed and put into law and not just a get well card to people who are facing poisoning or communities that are facing poisoning, but something tangible.

Yesterday was World Diabetes Day. Diabetes is a disease that affects millions of Americans, including my own daughter, Katy, who was diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic when she was 8 years old, almost 20 years ago. We have to do more to make…

I thank Congresswoman Speier for her leadership on climate issues in general and specifically on electric vehicles. Mr. Chairman, we are suffering the climate crisis right now. In my home State of Michigan, climate change is changing our…
