Today, I would like to speak about a great Nebraskan and a great American. His name is Dwight L. Clements. He died last week at 102 years old. Dwight Clements was born in Elmwood, Nebraska, and he went on to study at the University of…

I thank the gentlewoman from Florida for yielding. And I also thank Congresswoman Cammack for her powerful, personal testimony. I am glad you are here today. Thank you so much for your leadership. Madam Speaker, beneath you, right…

I told them what I knew and what I understood. They`ve accused me of lying to them and are charging me with this. We`re shocked. We`re stunned. I feel so personally betrayed. We thought we were trying to help.

The Women's Health Protection Act has a powerfully good name, but the name masks its intention. This bill would make America the most pro-abortion Nation on Earth. It in no way advances the principles of inclusion and equity routinely…

Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 241. A MEMBERS RECORDED PURSUANT TO HOUSE RESOLUTION 8, 117TH CONGRESS Aderholt (Moolenaar) Carson (Butterfield) Carter (TX) (Nehls) DeSaulnier (Thompson (CA)) Fulcher (Meuser)…

There is another issue that I am compelled to speak about regarding spending here. It is called the Hyde amendment. The Hyde amendment prevents taxpayer money for abortion, and this has remained a bipartisan compact in this institution for…

First, let me acknowledge the leadership of our committee, the chair, Rosa DeLauro, and our Ranking Member Kay Granger particularly, in this sense, for their attempt to navigate this contentious process in which there really are areas of…

A while back, I visited a small business called Craft Axe Throwing and Beer. What an interesting combination of activities, I thought. I had driven by it a number of times, but I stopped in one day. Seeing this team make a living, enjoying…

Thank you again for holding the hearing. I thought it was a very thorough, good discussion.

Thank you, Representative Rose, for your thoughtful comments, the importance of agricultural education across a variety of institutions.

I thank the gentleman from Virginia for yielding. Mr. Speaker, you might notice a little smile on my face. Honestly, as I was walking over here to speak on the bill, I was reflecting on my own life as a father. I have five children. When…

I wish to congratulate Pastor Mike Moreno and the entire congregation of Christ Lutheran Church in Norfolk, Nebraska, on their 150th anniversary. With a shared mission to share God's word, share God's love, and as they say, ``Do it now,''…

First of all, let me thank my friends and colleagues, Mr. Soto from Florida and Mr. Westerman from Arkansas, for shepherding this important measure. Madam Speaker, right outside this door, in Statuary Hall, there is a very large statue…

I think it has been a very important discussion about a wide-ranging breadth of things.

Thank you very much.

No, other than again to thank you, Mr. Chairman, for your leadership. I think it has been a productive hearing to unpack this significant portion of America's public policy of both expenditures but also impact.

A long time ago, I made the decision to stand by the people who grow our food, protect our country, and make our stuff. Now, for a moment, if we could put aside the ever-expanding definition of infrastructure, I think we could agree on a…

The idea here is to go deeper in terms of place-based strategies, fix the broken border situation.

the State Department is not representative of the American people

Yeah. We look forward to trying to give constructive input in the spirit of what we intended in the law.

But the heart of the matter that came out of that meeting of not being properly informed about the hold was, what are the metrics that we are using here to determine whether or not we are being successful?

China's development strategy, frankly, is this: It is predatory lending, it is resource extraction, and it is payment to authoritarian regimes.

An audit doesn't have to be a pejorative term. It actually helps us understand what we are achieving.

I am asking my question and trying to be in solidarity with you and the responsible community of nations to continue to basically hold China accountable here.
