If I could inquire how much time I have remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from North Carolina has 4\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentlewoman from Kansas has 1 minute remaining.

Again, we have had the opportunity here tonight and before to have a very open bipartisan process. And that is not what we have had, and that is quite regrettable. It is regrettable from not only a standpoint of this institution, but it is…

How much time do I have remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from North Carolina has 2 minutes remaining.

How much time do I have remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlemen from North Carolina has 6\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentlewoman from Kansas has 4 minutes remaining.

I have listened to the debate today, and it is a real shame that a surface reauthorization bill and a wastewater reauthorization bill have to be partisan. They shouldn't be partisan. We wanted a bipartisan process, but that is not what we…

In my past career, I have served as a senior staffer in the U.S. Senate, under George W. Bush during his administration, as a member of the State legislature, and now as a Member of Congress. It is interesting to me that--and I have never…

And I rise in opposition to the amendments en bloc. These amendments en bloc would further expand upon the majority's wish list of progressive priorities for water infrastructure, just like the underlying bill. These amendments create…

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. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question are postponed. Amendment No…

The bill before us today represents a missed opportunity to produce good, strong bipartisan legislation focused on the country's real infrastructure needs. Instead, it is one focused on an agenda cloaked under the guise of the term…

By direction of the House Republican Conference, I send to the desk a privileged resolution and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 511 Resolved That the following named Member be, and…

Our national debt exceeds $28.1 trillion. Congress year after year continues spending money with seemingly no regard for the debts we are pushing onto future generations. While it was necessary to spend a significant amount of money to get…

We are writing to you in response to the June 9, 2021 announcement by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regarding the Agencies' intent to revise the definition of the 'waters of the United States'…

While not a surprise to hear that this administration is proposing to take this action, it is no less a disappointment.

Overall, President Biden's budget proposes cutting Corps funding by more than 10 percent--a reduction of almost $800 million.

no bureaucrat in Washington should be able to dictate what our farm families, small businesses, local governments, and citizens do on their property after a significant rainfall

the fact that this administration has proposed increasing spending in nearly every aspect of the Federal Government, but then would cut the Corps budget by 10 percent defies logic, common sense, and everything else

it would appear that President Biden is talking out of both sides of his mouth

What is it Speaker Pelosi always says? Show me your budget, and I will show you your priorities.

The fact that this administration has proposed increasing spending in nearly every aspect of the federal government, but then would cut the Corps budget by 10% defies logic, common sense, and everything else.

Reliable, resilient, affordable and clean energy is critical to the daily lives and national security of the people of the Tennessee Valley and the nation.

It would appear that President Biden is talking out of both sides of his mouth--on the one hand talking about spending lavishly supposedly for 'infrastructure,' but on the other hand putting the extremely important infrastructure projects…

I want to remind the EPA that the Obama administration utterly failed to properly incorporate feedback from these stakeholders who would have to live and work under the regulation, and the result was the deeply flawed WOTUS rule.

The current rule provided much needed clarification for farmers, homeowners, small businesses, and local governments on the extent of waters covered by the Clean Water Act.

It's hard to imagine the administration's decision to initiate a new rulemaking is anything other than a plan to bring back burdensome regulations for our agriculture and business sectors.

No bureaucrat in Washington should be able to dictate what our farm families, small businesses, local governments, and citizens do on their property after a significant rainfall.
