I am prepared to close, if there are no other speakers on the other side, and I reserve the balance of my time.

In the interest of accuracy in this debate, I would like to reiterate that we doubled the standard deduction for all Americans--not just selective groups, but all Americans. We doubled that standard deduction, therefore, helping the middle…

I would just add that there will be a chance here in a few moments to answer the concerns that the prior speaker had, and I reserve the balance of my time.

I might add that Nebraska, the State that I represent, actually is considered to be a donor State, as well, and there is great support for the SALT cap in Nebraska. Madam Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Arizona (Mr…

Just to add emphasis to the reason why we are here: We appreciate those around the community and, actually, probably around the country who want to help, certainly, victims in need, and I would hope that we would adjust our tax policy…

Completely agree, Ranking Member Gibbs.

Without proper enforcement of the Jones Act, we instead cede this work to foreign vessels which do not comply to the same safety standard as U.S. vessels.

Thank you for the opportunity to present my written testimony to be included in the hearing record in support of H.R. 1146.

I didn't think we would do that and just leave individuals behind. So that is why we doubled the child tax credit, that is why we doubled the standard deduction and have spread the benefits out across the spectrum.

I think we need to ask ourselves the question which part of the chart do we feel is driving our daily lives more, and our financial situations?

How do we ensure that the coming green energy revolution helps all workers, even those who right now are working in the fossil fuel industry?

Thank you for your leadership in the fight to stop climate change.

Let me be very clear, many Nebraskans have been harmed by the heavy hand of the Federal Government.

It concerns me greatly when we see an increase in premiums to levels that are--I never even thought imaginable.

Let me be clear: That is not an attack on the ACA; that is a companion to the ACA by providing our members with another insurance option.

This is not a partisan issue. This is not a political issue. This is an issue of hardship.

I have dedicated my entire life to helping farmers and ranchers, and I just honestly couldn't believe what I saw during the summer of 2018.

Again, this amendment just asks the Comptroller General to assess our current situation for aviation and pilot needs. Canceled flights have been a major problem for communities with the smaller airlines, and certainly we want to prevent…

I thank the gentleman for the time, and I certainly urge passage of this bill.

There are a lot of Nebraskans, especially in the agriculture community, who are buying their health insurance through the individual market.

When enforced, the Jones Act works as intended.

The prolonged downturn in the worldwide energy markets has greatly impacted OMSA members.

I urge support of this amendment and the underlying bill so that we can help children. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Florida (Mrs…

I support this amendment, the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program, that is designed to serve families with young children living in communities at risk of a range of negative outcomes. Today, HHS allocates money for…

I claim the time in opposition to the amendment, even though I am not opposed to it. The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes. There was no objection.
