I thank my colleague from Georgia for yielding me time. H.R. 2954 includes the text of the RISE Act, a bill that I am proud to lead with Chairman Scott of the Education and Labor Committee. This bill was born out of true bipartisan…

I thank the chairman. Madam Speaker, the underlying bill includes an imperfect provision requiring retirement plans to provide a paper statement annually. The bill also directs the Department of Labor to revise its 2002 and 2020 safe…

Reclaiming my time, I thank the chairman for his willingness to continue working on this issue together. Again, I urge a ``yes'' vote on the bill.

Labor Secretary Marty Walsh needs to remember that he is a Cabinet member, not an activist. His one-sided involvement in active labor disputes is unfair and unprecedented. He is a former union president and the first union member in nearly…

This week many people will be celebrating National AmeriCorps Week. I will not be one of them. AmeriCorps has been around for almost 30 years, and in that time we have learned never to underestimate the ability of the Federal Government to…

College enrollment decreased this year by a million students. Although many claim dropping enrollment is a crisis, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity. This is an opportunity to see that Americans are making more decisions that are…

The American people are asking one simple question: Why does the Biden administration hate energy freedom in America? They have asked that question every time they have gone to the gas station and seen prices skyrocketing. Now, they are…

Today I rise to salute a dedicated public servant and friend. After working for a series of Members of the House, including Representative Bill Goodling, Rob Green first served the Education and Workforce Committee from 1995 to 2001. Rob…

I think one needs to look no further than the rhetoric surrounding student debt.

President Zelensky of Ukraine is a rock-ribbed leader who will fight and deliver for his country, and Americans are standing with the Ukrainians, who are fighting so bravely for their country. It is damning that Americans can't say the…

I thank the gentleman from Utah for yielding to me today. Mr. Speaker, I was encouraged to see George Washington University, GW, reverse its decision to censor posters highlighting the human rights abuses of the Chinese Communist Party…

I thank my colleague from Kentucky who has done a masterful job, along with Chairwoman Maloney, on this bill. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 3076, the Postal Service Reform Act. The Postal Service is projected to lose $160…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question are postponed. Amendment No…

Giving this same administration that weaponized the Federal Government against concerned parents the power to collect sensitive information about all college students, whether they accept financial aid or not is unacceptable. I am not…

Members on both sides of the aisle want more transparency and accountability in postsecondary education, but that is not what this amendment accomplishes. This amendment is a Trojan horse for violating privacy rights of students through…

It has been a year since Joe Biden took office, and the southern border has all but collapsed. A year has passed, and he still cannot find the elusive root cause of his self-inflicted border crisis. Since he is clearly having some trouble…

The Democrats' China bill will weaken the United States on the world stage. This legislation isn't about competing with China. This bill is about appeasing China. This is a bill without teeth, and it does too little to confront the Chinese…

Let me make one thing clear: Israel has never been and will never be an apartheid state. Amnesty International's latest report that labels Israel as an apartheid state is nothing short of an outright denial of the Jewish State's right to…

Washington Democrats have become desperate to shield their slim majorities in the House and Senate; so desperate, in fact, that they are willing to silence millions of Americans by orchestrating a Federal takeover of elections. Look no…

For a year, the Biden administration has struck out on every jobs report. If this were a baseball game, this administration would have been benched long ago. Economists predicted that 450,000 new jobs would be added in the month of…

I think this is a big loophole that we have here that could save the American taxpayers billions and billions of dollars.

I want to urge you to move this along because we are spending way too much money because you have signed these sole-source contracts.

Recently the Taylorsville Times, a historic newspaper in North Carolina's Fifth District, celebrated its 100th anniversary. I cannot overstate how much of an institution this newspaper is within the community. A century of production is a…

I thank my colleague from Indiana for holding this Special Order tonight and calling attention to the problems of the past year. I could use many words to describe President Biden's first full year in office, but the one that comes to mind…

I don't think we should be picking on any one company, particularly an American-owned company, here.
