Well, considering the strong congressional and bipartisan support for this program, I would ask that you really take a serious look at reauthorizing and funding this program.

If that is not correct, I would like to know it. But it is my understanding that there are few options for treating opiate withdrawal in infants.

I believe it to be appropriate to fully fund this bipartisan effort that we passed in the first iteration of CARA.

It is with sadness that I rise today to honor the life and work of a young 24-year-old deputy sheriff from Edgecombe County, North Carolina, who was tragically killed during a traffic stop in his community on Sunday, March 11, 2018. Deputy…

I rise with great pride to congratulate the North Carolina Central University men's basketball team for winning the 2018 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Basketball Tournament. NCCU, Mr. Speaker, is located in Durham, North Carolina. For…

I support reauthorization of these programs. I look forward to hearing about the innovation that's taking place in the animal drugs and how we can support the health of animals and human beings, as well.

This hearing, Mr. Chairman, is so very important and so I associate my comments with the gentlelady from Tennessee that this is bipartisan, bicameral, and these are two pieces of legislation that we must move and do it very quickly.

Anytime the uninsured rate goes down, that is not a measure of success.

We all share that goal, yes.

Once again, the administration has shown how out of touch it is with most Americans.

This budget ignores the wishes of our constituents who flooded our offices with calls, asking us to protect the ACA.

Get back to me. Get back to me, please.

Since President Trump took office, the Department of Health and Human Services has done its best--in my opinion, again--to sabotage health coverage.

I rise this morning to honor and recognize a great American, a visionary, a statesman, and a friend, Mayor William V. Bell, better known as Mayor Bill Bell. Yesterday, Mr. Speaker, my friend Bill Bell ended 16 years of distinguished…

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Thank you for convening this hearing today.

Very well said, Congresswoman Adams. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Price) for any concluding remarks.

I thank Congressman Price very much for those words, I thank him for his leadership and his relationship with Shaw University, and I especially thank him for mentioning Estey Hall. For many of us, who have grown up in North Carolina, we…

I rise this evening to recognize the General Baptist State Convention of North Carolina on the occasion of its 150th anniversary. The story of this great Baptist convention is a testament to its founders, Reverends William Warrick, Edward…

I thank Congresswoman Adams for those enlightening remarks and for her extraordinary leadership not only here in Congress, but for 40 years that she spent in the classroom at Bennett College. She has been a trailblazer for sure. Mr…

As I was listening to Congressman Price a moment ago recite the names of those great men who have led the General Baptist State Convention, I could not help but to think that I, too, remember all of them. And then I glanced down at the…

How much time do I have remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from North Carolina has 9 minutes remaining.

I can't think of a more important issue to tackle.

This is something that is affecting every part of America, and it is, in fact, a crisis.

It is a breach that was entirely preventable due to a level of negligence that in some industries may be considered criminal.

It should be clear to us by all that is now not the time to roll back consumer safeguards in the financial industry.
