I raise a point of order against section 8121 of the bill. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman will state his point of order.
Section 8121 constitutes legislation because it requires that the Secretary determine what qualifies as ``semiprofessional,'' ``a sporting event,'' and ``mixed martial arts.'' These are not terms that current law requires that the…
I come before you today not just as a Congressman from Mississippi's Fourth Congressional District, but also as a Marine veteran of the Persian Gulf War and the only Member of this body that is currently serving as a noncommissioned…
Well, Congressman, there are so many bad things about this bill. We could spend a lot more than an hour talking about it. The American people have had over 2 years to fully digest the bill that was crammed down their American throats by…
Thank you, Congressman Reed. I appreciate you organizing this Special Order tonight. It's a very important issue, not just to my constituents back in the State of Mississippi, the Fourth Congressional District, but to all Americans. So…

You recommended a five-year extension of the U.S. liability risk-sharing regime.
If I had, you know, a billion dollars and I was going to invest in a company and they had internal control problems, fiscal problems, I would want them to clean those problems up before I took that kind of an American investment.
There are two things when I talk to manufacturers. There are two things they talk about: taxation and regulation.
I would much rather spend $1 billion on roads and bridges or possibly even $1 billion into the NASA Heavy Lift program.
Once again we find that good legislation that was passed by the House has been taken hostage by the Senate. As we approach yet another deadline on the reauthorization of the National Flood Insurance Program, the Senate is refusing to take…
Aeronautics research and development, and the technologies they spin off, are critical to our national security.
Let me just note, depreciation schedules are really important for innovation, and perhaps even more important than a direct subsidy to a specific company for a specific research job.
Drones are going to really--you got the radical left in this country who decided that having a drone in the air is more of a threat to their privacy than to having a helicopter pilot in the air in a helicopter.
