I have had the pleasure of passing the Genocide and Atrocities Act which CCF was very much a part of.

I think it also goes a long way to helping to build a Burma in which these kinds of brutalities and genocide and human rights violations are unthinkable.

With countries like China and Russia working to undermine democratic values and respect for human rights, American leadership is more important than ever.

The Burmese military should not receive one cent of U.S. foreign military financing until it takes action to end and atone for egregious human rights abuses.

Our subcommittee is striving to promote increased diversity and inclusion in the financial services sector.

There is a need to do, I think, outreach and education in STEM at the undergraduate level.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, if we, indeed, defeat the previous question, we will allow consideration of H.R. 962, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. I introduced this legislation because the Constitution…

I thank--thank you, Mr. Chairman, for organizing this hearing and thank you to our witnesses for their time.

I want to thank my good friend and colleague, the gentlewoman from Indiana, Jackie Walorski. We are classmates and came in to Congress almost 7 years ago. I am so grateful to her for pulling this Special Order together tonight to talk…

So we can have a bit of a colloquy here. I can say that it does happen. Next week, in Missouri's Second Congressional District, I have invited a guest. She will be traveling from Kansas City to share her story. She was, in fact, a…

I am eager to work with this committee, Madam Chairwoman, this year to advance accessible and affordable housing for those who need it most in the St. Louis region and across the country.

Can the ruling of the Chair be challenged? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair has not issued a ruling.

If this unanimous consent request cannot be entertained, I urge the Speaker and the majority leader to schedule the Born-Alive Act on the floor immediately so we can stand up and defend the sanctity of life. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The…

Again, seeing no objection on either side of the aisle, can the Chair advise what is required pursuant to section 956 of the House rules to allow my motion for discharge of the Born- Alive Act to be considered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The…

A parliamentary inquiry, Mr. Speaker. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman will state her parliamentary inquiry.

I ask the Chair to rule on the motion of unanimous consent. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman has sought unanimous consent and has not been recognized for that purpose.

I understand the guidelines the Chair just cited. However, seeing no objection from leadership or committee members on either side of the aisle, does that constitute clearance and allow the Chair to entertain my motion under the rules of…

Further parliamentary inquiry, Mr. Speaker. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman will state her parliamentary inquiry.

This bill, Mr. Speaker, does not impose any restrictions. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman will suspend. The gentlewoman is engaging in debate. ____________________

I thank the ranking member very much for his voice on this issue and so many others, and I thank my dear friend from California, Karen Bass, for her leadership. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge my colleagues to support the Put Trafficking…

I thank the vice ranking member for yielding. And I thank my friend and colleague from California for his leadership and support on this legislation. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge my colleagues to support the FIND Trafficking Act. The…

We were sent to Congress to lead, but this partial government shutdown is not leadership. It speaks to a bigger problem in Washington: the reluctance to reach across the aisle and serve in the best interests of our constituents. Playing…

I unexpectedly had to return to my district this morning and was unable to attend the vote series. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 26, ``nay'' on rollcall No. 27, ``yea'' on rollcall No. 28, and ``yea'' on…

I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 500. personal explanation
