Eric Burlison

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds…

Thank you for hosting this wonderful, very important Committee meeting.

Today, my heart and the hearts of my colleagues here are broken, especially the hearts of the citizens in southwest Missouri and Oklahoma, as we ache and mourn the devastating loss of Natalie and Davy Lloyd. Last month, their lives were…

I believe that employees should have the choice to remain in the union, or negotiate with their employer without a union representation, which is why I introduced the Workers Choice Act.

As former NLRB Chairman, would a bipartisan and bicameral rejection of a rule, along with a Court decision knocking the rule down, have been taken into consideration when deciding whether to pursue an appeal?

Congressman Burlison's district was awarded a total of over $30 million for the City Utilities of Springfield.

If you--if it is a new rule, we are now in, you know, we are now at May 1, okay.

I think that you continuing to serve is, if anything, a disrespect for the Constitution and a disrespect for the Senate.

How much did you spend?

you are not confirmed as Secretary. Let us move on. Despite the fact that, in my opinion, you're operating as an illegitimate Secretary

I haven't made up my mind yet but I'm not happy about this rule and he's pushing us to the brink here.

I hereby remove my name as cosponsor of H.R. 1139. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman's request is granted. ____________________

I think that this bill defies any kind of objective understanding of the reality of the situation that we are in. We are at $34 trillion in debt. It is the highest debt-to-GDP that we have experienced in the history of the United States of…

Is there the infrastructure to support it?

I thank my good friend from Texas (Mr. Roy) for yielding. Mr. Speaker, here we go again. Today, the House is set to extend the bloated and inflationary spending levels that have left our country $34 trillion in debt and fuels the…

I expect and hope that the same outcome will happen with this.

The Department of Labor's proposed overtime rule is deeply concerning for the well-being of our Nation's small businesses.

I opposed the closures and the lockdowns because it was an absolute scam and the impact to our children, I think, we will see for an entire generation.

Right now, public schools are really, in my opinion, failing to do their most basic duty--educating our children.

Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 9. ____________________

I just wanted to point out that one of the benefits of the ACA is that essentially everybody pays average.

Well, I would encourage you to not implement that rule. I think you would have an outcry from that community.

But it seems like the administration's policy is a lack of trust.

I am filing a bill today called the Workers Choice Act, and to address this issue because I mean I think that an individual... does not have that authority to do that, but this bill will give that worker back the authority.

So, in short, you believe, if you trust them in their commitment to safety, then why--I would just hypothetically ask--why would we need to implement another rule on them to take away some of those decisions?
