Again, I just--for matters of accuracy about the legislation that is in front of us, I think it ought to be clear that both sides of the aisle can agree that we ought to encourage retirement savings and we ought to be willing to look for…

In response to the gentlewoman from California, I would just say that much of what we have been doing for the past 4 weeks on the floor, including today, is trying to give a shot in the arm to our economy, to our workers, our workforce…

I just make one comment that, when my colleagues on the other side of the aisle had both Houses and the White House and the opportunity to do these reforms, they weren't done. Yet, now, when we stand with great concern because of a…

I include in the Record a letter, undersigned, representing thousands of businesses, individual employees, and retirees from almost two dozen specific groups in support of H.J. Res. 66. February 13, 2017. To the Members of the United…

We are not opposing voluntary plans. We are not opposing States setting up plans that will encourage retirement. We are not opposing that. We are just saying we want to make sure they are protected under the same requirements of ERISA that…

We are certainly willing to work with the States and would concur that there ought to be a laboratory. But again, our concern, and basically the only concern, that this resolution deals with is that they be managed in such a way that they…

I want to make note that, as we discuss this here today, there have been points made about businesses wanting this change, they want to work with the States, and they are concerned about liabilities. Well, if that were the case, we…

I guess the point that I would make again is not the fact that we are trying to stop States from doing this. In fact, this CRA does not do that at all. It just simply says we express our concern that States would be allowed as a result of…

And I rise today in strong support of H.J. Res. 66, a resolution to protect retirement savers. During the final days of the Obama administration--in fact, the final hours--the Department of Labor created a regulatory loophole that…

There were egregious failures at the local level for years.

Let me say this, as a former United Steelworker myself: ... I have to say, at the very least, that being the case, 28 States in the Union being right-to-work States, individual workers having the opportunity to choose to be in the union or…

Small business owners and entrepreneurs deserve better. Workers and their families deserve better.

American people are expecting--in fact, they are demanding--a new direction for this country.

Restoring balance and fairness to the National Labor Relations Board will play an important role in this effort.

I look forward to working together throughout the 115th Congress as we tackle the tough challenges facing our country.

We have repeatedly seen the Obama NLRB overturn long-standing labor policies and put in place new policies designed to empower special interests.

The American people are expecting--in fact, they are demanding--a new direction for this country.

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding and for introducing this legislation and sponsoring it. I rise today in support of H.J. Res. 37. We all agree that bad actors who deny workers basic protections and violate the Fair Labor Standards Act…

It's understandable that it was not sustainable under ACA.

Of course, what we desire is that people, in general, across the spectrum, be covered and have better opportunities for health care.

I appreciate the safety net illustration, that we want to have safety nets. We don't want to have safety nets forever for people.

44 years ago, because of Roe v. Wade, over 58 million children were taken from the chance to utter the words of the psalmist in Psalm 139 when he said: For you formed my inward parts; you wove me in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to…

For too long, Washington has spent education dollars by building bureaucracy instead of by advancing opportunities for our children. As a member of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, I believe we must change the status quo…

This week kicks off the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. As a car guy all my life, I never missed the world's premier automotive event, the greatest show on Earth. This year there is plenty to celebrate. Just yesterday…

``Each House may determine the rules of its proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly behaviour, and, with the concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member. ``Each House shall keep a Journal of its proceedings, and from time to time…
