Debbie Dingell

You're wasting the time of the Congress. You've told us how you're going to repeal and replace. Where is the replacement? It is not to be seen. Where are the steps that you should be taking about jobs and opportunity for the American…

This, I will tell the gentleman, is his time. He has led in the matter. I am prepared to accede to his leadership. Mr. LaTOURETTE. I think we need to hear from you, Mr. Dingell.

We have no further requests for time, but I would like to say a couple of words. Mr. LaTOURETTE. As do I. The gentleman is the dean of the House. You go first.

At this time I yield through my good friend from Ohio to my friend from Indiana (Mr. Visclosky).

Again, through the kindness of my good friend from Ohio, I yield to the distinguished gentleman from Massachusetts.

With thanks to my good friend for his kind comments, I yield to the distinguished gentlewoman from Maryland through the distinguished gentleman from Ohio.

At this time I yield to, through my good friend from Ohio, to the distinguished gentleman from Virginia, Mr. Mel Watt.

At this time I yield to my dear friend from California (Mr. Schiff), through my distinguished friend from Ohio.

I want to thank the Chair for the kindness that you have shown me, and I want to express my particular thanks and good wishes to my dear friend, Mr. LaTourette, before this matter, and now, through the distinguished gentleman from Ohio, I…

Of course, but they didn't relate to the matters that you have brought before the House at this time. You can't explain what's in this bill, and nobody here knows what it does. {time} 1610

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Michigan will be postponed. {time} 2210 Amendment No. 13 Offered by Mr. Chaffetz

I take pride in announcing to the House that our good friend and colleague, Mr. Markey of Massachusetts, is joining a select group of Members who have cast 20,000 votes in this great body. I know, Mr. Speaker, that the Members wish to…

I would observe, we saw the district of Gabrielle Giffords had crosshairs put on it. As a lifetime rifleman and shooter, I know what crosshairs signify when you put them on somebody, and I know what happened. One other quotation: ``If…

I beg you, the safety of your constituents, of our people, is at stake. And I hope you will work with me to pass this legislation so that we can make our consumers not only trust the system but also to know that it is going to work to…

This is an amendment which is to deal with a very important injustice done to marines by the Department of the Navy... people in the Marine Corps are being hurt, injured, poisoned, given cancer and other things by the way the Department of…

H.R. 4040 is a superb piece of legislation. Is it perfect? No. But it's as good as can ever be achieved in this place. It shows that the House of Representatives can work together, and in a 51-0 vote we have established that the Commerce…

I just want to say a word of gratitude to the gentleman from California for the fine work he has done on this matter and how much the country owes him for his labors on this. I also want to say a word of praise for both Mr. Hill and Mr…

Madam Speaker, I will submit for the Record a letter from Peter Orszag, Director of the Congressional Budget Office. That office notes several things. First of all, one, this bill actually saves money for the Treasury; two, it is fiscally…

I would just note that my good Republican colleagues have ignored one fact that is important, and that is that every time that there is an inclusion of anybody over the level of 200 percent of poverty, it is on an express waiver granted by…

I want my colleagues to take a careful look at the remarks just made and the poster just presented. Every one of those statements is false. There is no treatment in this for illegals. There is no treatment in this for their parents. This…

New Hampshire doesn't have the ordained right. And -- and the fact of the matter is, it doesn't reflect the diversity of this country.

The legislation before us is really very simple. The issues before us are not procedure. Rather, they are: Are we going to take care of our kids? For this Congress, this is perhaps the greatest opportunity we will have.

This is a great loss to the country. Our friend, Guy Vander Jagt, was a distinguished Member of this body, a great public servant, and a friend of most of us here.

I applaud the work of the three committees that have brought this legislation to us... This is an extraordinary bill. It prevents individuals from employment discrimination. It would make it unlawful for employers, employment agencies…

I support H.R. 4568, the ``Proficiency Testing Improvement Act of 2005,'' which requires the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to update the federal program to test the proficiency of individual laboratory…
