What was struck down was Section 4, which is the formula that decides which States, which counties, which cities are included in Section 5.

Section 2 has been very effective down through the years, and those of you who have been involved in litigation, you know what I mean.

The burden of proof is on the Member to prove that she is not guilty of the offense for which she is charged.

I had spent thirty years in a courtroom before coming to Congress, and, you know, in a courtroom, the rules are so much different than the rules for ethics for Members of Congress.

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

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…

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 include in the Record the following letters of support for the Senate Amendment to H.R. 5746. National Urban League, New York, NY, January 13, 2022. Dear Representative: As President and CEO of the National Urban League, and on behalf of…

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.

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.

Again, how much time do I have remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from North Carolina has 4 minutes remaining.

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.

I have a motion at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the motion. The text of the motion is as follows: Mr. Butterfield of North Carolina moves that the House concur in the Senate amendment to H.R. 5746 with an…

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…

As we consider legislation to address the opiate crisis, we must pay special attention to communities that have been historically marginalized.

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.

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

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

I would like to offer my unconditional support for the Lumbee Recognition Act, which is S. 1364.

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