Amendment XXII, section 1: ``No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person…

I thank the chairman for his leadership on this. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the Taxpayers Right-To-Know Act. This bill is a bipartisan and bicameral effort to provide more information about Federal programs and their…

We're talking about the lives of troops. We're talking about the security of this country.

But in a time of sequestration, at a time when our warfighters and their families, et cetera, are suffering reductions, for this type of dollar amount to be held over and attempted at least to be hid from us is unconscionable.

As I read that, it just goes back to simple truth that a bureaucracy will protect itself.

I stand in support of the rule and the underlying bill. Why? Well, the 21st Century Cures Act is a transformational piece of legislation that will allow us to discover and develop new lifesaving cures and treatments for some of the worst…

It's an important thing to consider.

We look at regulatory issues and the high cost of regulations that go on.

Are you concerned that the DEA's policies are warping priorities by prioritizing asset forfeiture rather than seizure of drugs?

What are the privacy concerns with DEA essentially treating these sources as independent contractors and asking them to perform specific tasks?

I've had concern, longstanding concern, with civil asset forfeiture issue and asset forfeiture in general.

I thank the gentleman for his efforts tonight to call attention to this. Mr. Speaker, I am thankful for the opportunity we are afforded here to speak of the impact of the Bible in our lives as well, and, more importantly, the impact the…

In closing, I want to remind my colleagues why this legislation is so important. We all agree our Nation's overtime rules need to be modernized and worker protection should be strengthened. That is not what we are debating today. Small…

I would just respond to my friend and colleague, the gentleman from California, that I appreciate the passion that he displays. None of us want to be grinches. My concern, however, is that at Christmastime it won't be the fact that they…

I want to thank Mr. Joyce for his leadership on this amendment and his bipartisan efforts to ensure resources to protect and restore the Great Lakes ecosystem. In April, the House joined together to unanimously pass Mr. Joyce's amendment…

I thank my friend from Michigan, and I rise to support his amendment which establishes a permanent use of priority funds for the Great Lakes navigation system. Mr. Chairman, the 2014 WRRDA bill included a temporary provision to set aside…

Today I rise to recognize a remarkable couple, Matt and Sheryl Mohr from Hudson, as Angels in Adoption from Michigan's Seventh Congressional District. I had the privilege of visiting with Matt and Sheryl yesterday, and their love and…

I appreciate your efforts to move forward on this and try to find a suitable answer to make sure that resources are cared, we want that, but also that personal choices and personal liberty and the opportunity for doing something with your…

As employers and workers move to adopt the new plan designs prospectively, underfunded legacy liabilities must also be addressed.

I certainly think that members on this panel would love to hear directly from them and then come directly to you.

I am going to say from the outset, I certainly appreciate my good friend. I want to join, as I have all along, in support for my good friend and colleague from Flint in making sure that we do something about what has gone on there, the…

I claim the time in opposition to the motion to recommit. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Westmoreland). The gentleman from Michigan is recognized for 5 minutes.

I would like to make the gentleman from Missouri, my friend, aware that I have no further speakers and I am prepared to close. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.

I thank my friend and colleague from Missouri. I appreciate his concerns, appreciate the list. But in that list, I didn't hear anyone that would have to live directly under the new regulations that are being proposed or people that would…

I am awaiting additional Members who would like to speak to this issue, but, in the intervening time, let me just say again I certainly, having majored in forestry and land management early in my academic career, love pictures of nature…
