We are being told by our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that we should be comforted by the fact that the Democratic committee staff did an investigation of Planned Parenthood and found nothing wrong. I think I can say very well…
I now yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Kelly), our colleague.
The facts are clear about the budget for the select panel. The resolution does not authorize or appropriate additional resources for this panel. It will use existing funds solely. Further, one of Congress' most important duties is…
This charge laid about subpoena powers is a red herring. Every House committee holds subpoena power, though the structure differs depending on the committee. Granting this standard authority to the select panel ensures its ability to…
H. Res. 461 provides for the creation of a select investigative panel of the Committee on Energy and Commerce. The resolution ensures the House exercises one of its most fundamental constitutional responsibilities: oversight of the use of…

On October 3, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau implemented a new rule to streamline disclosure requirements during the home buying process. Helping consumers better understand their mortgage terms is a worthy goal. No one is…
I repeat, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle are talking about the Ex-Im Bank because they know that when they talk about protecting organizations that sell babies' hearts and lungs, they are losing. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2…
For those who complain that this bill isn't properly named, let us not forget that at least half of the unborn children who are victims of abortion are female who would grow up to be women. Far too many supporters of abortion on demand…
House Resolution 444 provides a closed rule for consideration of H.R. 3495, the Women's Public Health and Safety Act. Over the past few months, extremely disturbing information has come to light about the activities of abortion providers…

Today I rise to congratulate Trooper J.D. Berrong, who recently won the Jimmy K. Ammons North American Inspectors Grand Champion Award. This is the first time a North Carolina trooper has ever won this competition, which recognizes the…
It seems to me that if our colleagues think that this has no impact then I don't understand why you would be so opposed to this legislation.
By direction of the House Republican Conference, I offer a privileged resolution and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 442 Resolved, That the following named Member be, and is hereby…
Last evening when I spoke on this legislation in the Committee on Rules, I mentioned that this is a very emotional issue for those of us who value life so much. One of my colleagues has already spoken to the fundamental issue of life, but…
I am expecting one more speaker that I am trying to accommodate. However, if the gentleman is prepared to close, then I will do my best to do that also. Mr. McGOVERN. Madam Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. I am going to urge…
My colleagues have asked for an investigation into The Center for Medical Progress, which released these videos. The Center for Medical Progress does not receive half a billion in taxpayer dollars every year; Planned Parenthood does. It is…
There are many more options for women's health care than the discredited abortion provider, Planned Parenthood. While Planned Parenthood is only approximately 665 clinics, federally qualified health centers, FQHCs, and rural health…
If my colleagues would like to use parliamentary terms like ``regular order,'' ``self-execute,'' or ``waivers'' to hide from debate over the gruesome practices of abortionists, that is their prerogative. They ignore what one key Planned…
