It has now been more than 2 months since across-the-board sequestration cuts were enacted, devastating so many important programs that Americans rely upon. Instead of working together to find compromise to fully reverse these automatic…

At this time, I yield such time as she may consume to the gentlelady from New York (Ms. Slaughter).

Poverty is all around us, Mr. Horsford, whether it's in my district or in your district or in any of my colleagues' districts. Poverty is persistent, and it's all across America. It's within the shadows of this Capitol. When I drive home…

First, let me thank Mr. Waxman for yielding time and thank him for his extraordinary leadership on our committee. Let me also thank Mr. Latta and Mr. Matheson for working together to try to get this legislation to the floor today. Mr…

Well, let me thank you, Mr. Horsford. I have a few points that I want to make. Do you have an idea of how much time we have remaining so I can allocate my time? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Nevada has 26 minutes remaining…

Mr. Horsford, I think the question that has been raised by the gentleman is a very pertinent point. We have seen over the last 18 to 24 months some very deep cuts in our Federal budget. There are some who believe that discretionary…

As we have no further speakers either, Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

I thank the gentlelady for yielding time, and I thank her for her leadership on this issue and here in the Congress. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to the rule for H.R. 1911. I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this rule to…

I want to associate myself with each word that she uttered a few minutes ago. She is exactly correct.

The Affordable Care Act has provided young adults with access to health insurance through their parents' plans, and that is a good thing.

The House Labor HHS Appropriations Subcommittee has proposed an 18 percent cut.

Funding from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration--and we call it SAMHSA--has helped my State enormously.

Did I understand you to say that it is had a $168 million impact on your agency?

Sequestration--we must repeal the sequester now. Americans have lived under these budget cuts for over 2 months, and one thing is clear: sequestration is hurting Americans; it is hurting constituents in your district and in mine, damaging…

Let me thank you, Mr. Horsford, for yielding time this evening, and thank you for your leadership not only here in the Congress but in the Congressional Black Caucus. You have come to this Congress, and you've done so much in such a short…

Let me thank you, Mr. Jeffries, for yielding me this time, and thank you for your leadership here in the House of Representatives. Since you have arrived here in the House, you have just done extraordinary work. You've taken the time to…

It is clear from today's testimony that we can do more to support domestic steel production.

We must develop and support policies that disincentivize foreign steel producers from circumventing existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders.

There is no question the American people, Mr. Horsford, want a strong economy, they want jobs created, and they're expecting us in this House to do it on a bipartisan basis. We have failed to do it, and we must do it.

Let me thank you, Mr. Horsford, for your leadership and thank you for convening this opportunity tonight for us to come to the floor and talk about a subject that is so personal and so important to every American. {time} 1930 I also thank…

I want to thank the gentleman for yielding time and thank him for his leadership on the committee and what he has done for education in this country. Madam Chair, never have job-training and educational opportunities been so crucial for so…

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, and thank the three witnesses for their testimony today.

I am just having difficulty...understanding how one can, with a straight face, suggest that the Affordable Care Act is in fact killing jobs.

I thought we were going to be talking about a positive impact on jobs because the evidence seems to me to be indisputable.

Let me thank the gentleman for yielding time this morning. Let me associate myself with the last comments made by Mr. McGovern. He is absolutely correct; the American people are beginning to feel the impacts of sequestration. My friends on…
