All of us are hearing about the current programs--PPP, EIDL--not meeting the needs of certain heavily impacted small business industries.

I thank the gentlewoman from Florida for yielding and for organizing this important Special Order hour. As a Gold Star son who lost his father in the Vietnam War, I empathize with and salute the honorable men and women who don a uniform…

I just want to call attention to those effects and ensure that we do look after those who will suffer from incremental costs.

And I have to say I am saddened that some of my colleagues would seemingly put their faith in the word of the Iranian foreign minister over that of yours.

I think we can do better, and I think we should be attracting the best and the brightest to public service.

To my colleagues who are arguing for lower taxes, we all want lower taxes. We also need better roads and bridges and airports and electrical grid.

I stress welcoming talent from all over the world. And that is why I am a significant advocate and supporter of proposals throughout Congress to afford more visas to foreign-born entrepreneurs who wish to develop their companies in the U.S.

I am quite encouraged that our Committee is having this conversation today because most of us have foremothers and forefathers who came to America, bringing the very same ambitions and seeking the very same opportunities and possibilities…

I have a motion at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Phillips of Minnesota moves to reconsider the vote on adoption of the motion to suspend the rules. Motion to Table Ms…

And yes, I will demand action on behalf of our state.

Yes, our communities need 21st century infrastructure to compete.

We need a comprehensive approach to address surface transportation in our State, and all of our States.

As traffic fatalities surge statewide, we need a comprehensive approach to address surface transportation in Minnesota.

Yes, Congress has been complacent on this issue for far too long. And yes, I will demand action on behalf of our State.

I believe that the 2001 AUMF must be repealed and replaced with a new authority that accommodates our current security environment.

Multi-decade authorizations with little to no oversight from this Congress is as dangerous as it is unacceptable.

I wholeheartedly support repealing the 2002 AUMF, and the 2001 AUMF applies to Al Qaeda and its affiliates.

the relief provided under section 1112 under the CARES Act, quote, a lifeline to your borrowers.

Congress should be making it easier for Americans to vote, not harder. That is why I am pleased to support H.R. 1, especially in the face of reprehensible efforts all around the country to disenfranchise legal American voters. I also…

I think it is fair to say that we all agree we want to see Americans' wages go up.

It is an honor to Chair this Subcommittee and to provide a platform for listening to and supporting small businesses across America.

the idea that we would be talking about an increase in the minimum wage is kind of ridiculous to me.
