Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I want to say to my colleague, the gentleman from Texas, I think that we do agree to part of this about the danger of currency manipulation and the millions of jobs that are lost here in our country. That is why I rise this evening to offer this motion to instruct the conferees to include in the conference report language to combat currency manipulation from the Senate-passed version of this bill. I also want to associate myself with the comments of my colleagues because these are bipartisan issues. I have worked with my colleagues across the aisle on human trafficking, and I know that my colleagues share my values and are appalled at the egregious efforts that have gone down in Malaysia to traffic in young girls. These are not American values that are being expressed at this historic moment, as countries across the world gather in Paris to protect our society, our whole humankind, from the ravages of climate change. So, Mr. Speaker, I rise this evening to support my motion. I will be asking for a recorded vote. I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. All time for debate has expired. Without objection, the previous question is ordered on the motion to instruct. There was no objection. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to instruct. The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that the noes appeared to have it.”
