There is a better way. We can do better than this. Women deserve better. But in your last comment, you touched upon the issue of sex-selected abortion, and I wonder if in your earlier comments you talked about policies, such as the…

It's a very important part of this overall discussion, to talk about the consequences of where all of this leads. And in a country like China, which has imposed this brutality upon its own people, the women who have come here undercover…

If the gentleman would yield for a moment, I think it's important, an important tangent. It's not tangential. It's an element of this discussion because it shows once we give up on this basic fundamental human right, once we let go of our…

As we're winding down here--we only have a few moments left--I think perhaps we can talk about some good news as well as some common ground. Because everybody listening to this and this important dialogue, this highly sensitive dialogue…

Again, I thank the gentleman for your poignant words, your passion, your deep belief in this. So I think now is the time to let the healing begin. Let's put the past behind us. Let's look forward, marching arm-in-arm with the new civil…

This Friday, hundreds of thousands of people will gather in Washington for a peaceful march, exercising the most American of values--the right to assemble and the right to freedom of speech. Among the people who will come are multitudes of…

Amendment XXIV: Section 1: ``The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress…

Many people see the administration's public commentary in the aftermath of Benghazi as misleading.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Before my colleague Dan Burton leaves the Chamber, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for your thoughtful reflections here. I should tell the Speaker, as well as everyone who might be watching, that we were…

I don't care to be lectured to about the need to be bipartisan, particularly in such an intolerant and uncivil tone.

Last year, an intense debate was under way in Congress as to how to respond to the turmoil in Libya. The imminent slaughter of the people of Benghazi by former dictator Qadhafi led the United States to sustain a NATO-led coalition to stop…

Americans can tolerate ingratitude, we can tolerate insult, but we cannot tolerate the senseless killing of the official representative of our country and those who served with him, three others.

The governing structures of Libya must respond in the strongest way. They should publicly state their condemnation and commitment to restoring order.

Democracy is not an election, it is the understanding of the protection of the inherent dignity and rights of each person within the structures that bring about the just rule of law.

I would like to thank the leader of the Ag Committee for his important leadership on this issue and many, many others. Mr. Speaker, just like in Nebraska where we're hoping for rain, I'm actually hoping for a long-term farm bill…

I thank the gentlelady from Minnesota for yielding, and thank you for your stalwart and courageous stand for life tonight. Women deserve better than abortion, and of course celebrating an extraordinary organization such as Priests for Life…

I thank the gentleman from Florida for the time and for your leadership on this critically important bill. Mr. Chairman, in the push and pull and give and take of the congressional appropriations process we have had many important debates…

I thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, this weekend back home in Lincoln, Nebraska, at a small business, a shop owner named Mary and another woman were engaged in conversation. She looked up when they were done and saw me…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for convening this hearing today to focus on the U.S. policy toward Nigeria.

I inadvertently missed the vote on rollcall No. 442. My vote would have been ``yes.'' ____________________

I thank the gentleman from Alabama again for his leadership on the overall appropriations bill here and for his particular sensitivity to this issue. With that, Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time. Amendment Offered by Ms…

I wish to enter into a colloquy with the gentleman from Alabama, Chairman Aderholt. First, I want to commend his leadership on this appropriations bill concerning the security screenings of children by the Transportation Security…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Page 30, line 25, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $17,319,000) (increased by $17,319,000)''. The Acting CHAIR…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made available by this Act…

I'd like to thank both the chairman and the ranking member of the subcommittee for the opportunity to discuss an important problem in our Nation's nuclear security infrastructure and for their support of this amendment. The amendment would…
