I thank my friend for yielding. Over the past 2 years, I have been a part of efforts, good-faith efforts, to write the strongest possible fast-track bill. But the process the legislation has gone through recently, with Ways and Means…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Chair, I simply want to commend him for offering this amendment and offer my enthusiastic support. In various ways, we ensure that the Federal Government doesn't pay substandard wages, doesn't do…

The administration has been very clear that it strongly opposes provisions in this bill that would restrict the development of high-speed rail. Moreover, the California congressional delegation has overwhelmingly opposed these restrictive…

I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Al Green), another outstanding Financial Services member.

I claim the time in opposition to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.

We are coming to the end of several days of floor debate on the 2016 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations bill. I want to, again, express my appreciation to Chairman Diaz-Balart, subcommittee members from both sides…

This amendment is well- intentioned, I realize, but I think it is an overreach and certainly not appropriate for this appropriations bill. Records of license plate information can serve as a helpful clue to investigators. They can produce…

Here we go again with, once again, a reprisal of the amendment offered last week and rejected. The amendment offered tonight separates that amendment in two: tenant-based Section 8, project-based Section 8. The argument does apply, I…

If there is an air of familiarity about this amendment and what the gentleman has just said about his amendment, listeners may want to tune in and remind themselves of virtually this same amendment being offered last week. I should begin…

This amendment would suspend enforcement of rules governing the size of billboards for religious organizations and service clubs. These rules have been in place for a long time--since 1975. As I understand it, the gentleman is seeking to…

This amendment is a new twist on an amendment that the gentleman from California has been offering over the last few years. The net result, however, is the same. It would stop the development of California high-speed rail in its tracks, so…

I do this, though, simply to express some concerns about this amendment and others like it that we have heard over the course of this debate. I do have some concerns about limiting flight path options for the FAA in a piecemeal fashion…

In considering this amendment, it is important to be very clear about what the amendment means when it refers to enrichments. This refers to improvements to a transit project like a sidewalk, paths, plazas, lighting, and signage, things…

I want to commend my friend from Minnesota for offering this amendment. Every worker is entitled to receive pay, fair pay, for the hours they work. We know, unfortunately, there are employers, as the gentleman has stated, who refuse to pay…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Pennsylvania will be postponed. Amendment Offered by Mr. Newhouse

I too want to commend my colleague for offering this amendment. I understand his intent. There are significant capital needs on the busy Northeast Corridor. It is Amtrak's busiest and most successful corridor. It is a fundamental flaw of…

I wish to claim the time in opposition. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.

I do oppose this amendment. On the face of it, it simply restates existing regulations, but I fear there is another motive at play, that is, an anti-immigrant agenda. Let me explain what I mean. This amendment feeds into the widely held…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Alabama will be postponed. Amendment No. 4 Offered by Mr. Engel

I intend to strike the last word so as to give the speakers more time.

Could I inquire how much time is remaining? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Price) has 45 seconds remaining.

I thank the gentleman. I yield the balance of my time to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Joyce).

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Texas will be postponed. Amendment Offered by Mr. Schiff
