I remain concerned pandemic aid is set to become endemic aid and that various issues caused by this Administration's own actions and, at times inaction, have caused my colleagues and their mouthpieces within the media to think emergency…

Now, where we diverge is the reality that this one title will cost taxpayers nearly $1 trillion over the next 10 years.

Where we diverge is how to preserve the program for those in actual need without regulatory loopholes and fuzzy interpretations of the law, both of which exploit the very intent of the program.

I say to the gentleman that I am prepared to close. Mr. Davis is my friend, and I want the world to know that. I reserve the balance of my time.

At this time in the interest of time, I yield 30 seconds to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Allred), my friend from Dallas, who represents the 32nd Congressional District.

May I inquire about how much time each side has remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Ms. Clark of Massachusetts). The gentleman from North Carolina has 6\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from Illinois has 2\1/4\ minutes remaining.

I want to remind my friend from Arizona who just spoke that this bill sets uniform national standards for States that choose to require identification to vote. The bill gives States the flexibility--flexibility--to choose whether to…

I would ask my friend from North Carolina to refer to the bill section that refers to voter ID. It simply says this bill sets uniform national standards for States that choose to require identification to vote. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1…

Mexican criminal drug networks are mass producing illicit fentanyl and fentanyl-laced fake pills using chemicals sourced largely from China and are distributing these pills through U.S. criminal networks.

It is long past time for Congress to give the Lumbee the respect they deserve.

The Congress has an opportunity to do the right thing and fix an historic wrong by passing the Lumbee Recognition Act.

Now is the time to do the right thing and to get this done.

I would hope that that twenty-percent number would become zero percent.

Anytime an office, you know, denies the request, there should be some inferences.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Again, thank you so much for this important and informative hearing today.

This bipartisan bill will help patients with chronic wounds stay healthy in their homes and avoid future complications.

We are the only industrialized nation with a maternal mortality rate that is on the rise.

I can feel your passion. And I just want to thank you very much for all that you do for the underserved communities all across the country.

For years I have said that the 1965 Voting Rights Act was written between Selma and Montgomery. The Voting Rights Act leveled the playing field and transformed southern electoral politics. Since the Shelby decision, the right to vote and…

This is an issue that we should be able to embrace on a bipartisan basis.

Thank you for the incredible work that each of you does on the Commission.
