On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 220, nays 210, not voting 3, as…
Discussions of lower carbon emissions must include, and enhance, the use of biofuels.
Taking care of our rural communities and ensuring that they have what they need to thrive benefits the ag economy, but it also benefits the rest of the country.
I also would like to recognize Ranking Member Thompson for any opening comments he would like to make.
I think that we need to continue to make sure that we are recognizing and promoting the biofuels as something that is a part of our entire ag economy and part of that carbon emissions reductions.
I am a little concerned about some of the efforts the Majority has that don't recognize that biofuels have been an important part of the role in reducing our greenhouse emissions.
I thank the Representative from Texas for yielding to me. Madam Speaker, this bill has gone through several versions just this week--possibly just today--too many for even the bill's sponsors to keep up with. During one of the several…

I thank the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern) for yielding me the customary 30 minutes. Mr. Speaker, it is hard to ignore the feeling that this is one more example of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle trying to…
Requiring banks and Federal credit unions to disclose personal details about their customers' accounts is an extreme invasion of privacy, and it would have terrible implications for community banks and credit unions in my district and…
With all respect to my colleague from Massachusetts, the fact still remains that when the minority leader did try to participate in this Commission, the Speaker rejected the two nominees that the minority leader had offered. Mr. Speaker, I…

And I thank the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern) for yielding me the customary 30 minutes. Mr. Speaker, H. Res. 716 provides for the consideration of four bills, including an irresponsible extension of the Federal debt limit and…
It is unfortunate that, yet again, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have chosen to operate without input from the minority. Voting for increasing the debt ceiling without proper consideration in the House is simply…
I just want to remind my colleague on the Rules Committee that I stated very clearly that I was talking about House Republicans. But I do want to point out that no Republican in the Senate voted for this debt limit extension in addition to…

This amendment would prohibit the President, Vice President, and Cabinet members from contracting with the Federal Government. The amendment adds broad new language to the criminal code and could discourage people from entering Federal…
This is not the bill for this amendment, and it certainly should go through the process and be given the consideration and discussion due true ethics reforms instead of amendments that simply target the former President and his…
I thank the gentleman from Colorado for yielding me the customary 30 minutes. I will just say, it has been a long and bumpy road to get here so I am happy to finally be here on the floor with the rule. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such…
