I want to say how much I admire Jennifer Wexton and the role model she has been as she has struggled with her disease. We saw her here on the floor a few minutes ago, and I commend her for her willingness to speak openly about the…

I have no further comments, and I am ready to close. I reserve the balance of my time.

This bill would rename a post office in San Francisco, California, as the Dianne Feinstein Post Office. Feinstein was the longest serving Senator to represent California and the longest serving female Senator in the history of the United…

You stated a few years ago your goal was for the Postal Service to break even by 2023.

The Fleetwood, North Carolina, post office, very small facility in a fast-growing community, is too small for the mail volume it receives.

I think my colleagues on both sides have done a good job of expressing our concerns about the status of reforms and performance of the Post Office.

To achieve this, each person must be counted so that reapportionment can proceed and give each state the proper number of representatives in the House and the proper number of votes in the electoral college.

Is it correct that FEMA delivered aid to the state then simply absolved itself from ensuring the aid actually reached the people it was intended to help?

If it is not doing that, how can it claim to be committed to helping people where they are?

So, why are you unable to provide the basic information to those suffering from disasters in a timely fashion?

I am the kind of person who believes government of the people, by the people, and for the people, and I tolerate no discrimination of any kind.

FEMA appears to be plagued by poor decisionmaking and a serious lack of communication.

I want to associate myself with your opening statement. Also, I want to thank the thousands of Americans who responded to the destruction of Helene in the North Carolina mountains by donating everything you can imagine to people there.

He describes ESG, and diversity, equity, and inclusion, DEI, as `` . . . among the most heinously anti-American management philosophies ever developed.'' This book amplifies the points we made when we passed our legislation last week. ESG…

I think it is very exciting that we are seeing this new approach to preparing people to teach by doing the things you are doing.

It is not a mystery to me it seems that we have had difficulty in the last few years recruiting people to go into teaching.

I have long believed the most important work in schools happens at the State and local level.

We are so proud to have you represent App State, and we appreciate all the support you have provided to educators, schools, and classrooms not only in North Carolina, but across the nation.

It is astounding to me that associations of higher education in this country are opposing this bill, absolutely astounding. That should send a message to the American people about what the status of higher education is right now. I yield 2…

While we worked diligently to elect a Speaker of the House, there was confusion about when Members-elect officially become Members of Congress bestowed with the powers of the office to perform their duties.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman and members. Thanks for hosting this member day and giving members the opportunity to speak before the committee.

Well, we have seen throughout the time of the Biden-Harris administration that it overstepped its bounds all of the time.

May I inquire as to how much time is remaining. The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from North Carolina has 1\1/2\ minutes remaining.

I am, frankly, surprised at my colleague for opposing an amendment that does nothing more than strengthen this piece of legislation. This amendment ensures that we do not violate our national sovereignty. I think it is the right thing to…

I think that we have an EPA that is basically out of control and imposing horrible regulations and costs on the American people.
