I want to thank the chairman and my colleagues again for supporting the amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Rutherford). The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Minnesota (Mr…

As May is National Foster Care Month, we need to remember that foster care families provide a vital service for the young people whom they take in. And the need is great. In Minnesota alone, more than 7,500 kids entered out-of-home…

Our American manufacturers can compete and win anywhere. And so we just have to have that certainty, a level playing field in order to be able to do that.

These solutions do need to be targeted narrowly to avoid inflicting harm on our consumers as well, and our job creators.

We absolutely need to target these unfair trade practices, especially by China, that absolutely has engaged in theft of American technology and innovation.

The President's decision to invoke a very little used 1962 law to impose these broad tariffs is creating a lot of uncertainty.

For eight years, the last Administration struggled to find government-based solutions to a financial crisis that hit American workers hard.

We are witnessing a sea change in the American economy, one that is boosting opportunity, supercharging growth, and restoring prosperity to our Nation.

I, along with America's small businesses and other hard-working taxpayers, have been struggling under high tax rates for years.

I have an amendment at the desk as the designee of the gentleman from New York (Mr. Donovan). The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 896, line 17, after the dollar amount…

I do believe it is absolutely necessary and critical that strong digital trade provisions also be included in any NAFTA modernization.

I urge all my colleagues in supporting this very commonsense, bipartisan, and bicameral legislation to increase employee ownership and accelerate American innovation. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

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 8, line 22, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $25,000,000)''. Page 30, line 7, after the…

I thank my colleague, Representative Joe Courtney, for his leadership and bipartisan advocacy on this issue. I also thank my friend, Mr. Pascrell, who is on the Ways and Means Committee, for his leadership, along with Congressman Reichert…

In the MTB package back in 2010, it was found to support, as was mentioned, 90,000 jobs right here in the United States, increased production of $4.6 billion, and expanded our economy by about $3.5 billion.

I strongly believe that we need to fix the broken tax code with comprehensive reform so it promotes investment, savings, and hard work.

It just seems to make sense that we should be using all the tools available as we make these important policy decisions that affect the lives of millions of Americans every day.

Strengthening protections for American innovation is absolutely critical.

This is really a tax on innovation and as the Chairman knows coming from a state with a high number of medical device companies, and Senator Klobuchar knows we need to keep this industry alive.

I don't think there's any Member up here or anyone in the public that wouldn't hope that we had a similar recovery to Ronald Reagan's.
