I am struck by the silence of the world at large and wondering if they are showing good judgment.

if we don't know what we are doing here in Syria, which is now we are in the third year, it is really an indictment of, to some extent, the administration, to some extent, frankly, the leadership of the CIA.

Thank you very much. I would like to add my voice to the others here in speaking about this wonderful man, John Dingell, who, I'm sure, is quite embarrassed as we talk about him because he has a great deal of humility, which is rather…

Education is the key to prosperity in this country. Families know that. That's why they save up for college for their students, but the cost of college has become so expensive that they've had to borrow money. The interest rates now are…

I just want to see us address that and address the economic disaster that our fishermen are experiencing.

Our industry is being absolutely decimated, as I know you are all aware.

H.R. 1410 would bring some common sense to this situation and clarify that no tribe may conduct gaming on lands taken into trust after April 9, 2013.

H.R. 1410 keeps the promises that the tribes of Arizona made to the State of Arizona and the voters of Arizona that there would be no additional casinos for the duration of the negotiated and voter approved tribal-State gaming compacts.

I am opposed in its current form. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Shea-Porter moves to recommit the bill, H.R. 1406, to the Committee on Education and the Workforce with…

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This will be a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 200, noes 227, not voting 5, as follows: [Roll No. 136] AYES--200…

Thank you. I ask unanimous consent to insert my statement in the Record opposing the GOP's awful Mother's Day gift--more work and less pay for working moms. Happy Mother's Day. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of…

Thank you very much for having this moment, an opportunity to talk about Boston and also to talk about the country and to talk about Boston's neighbor, New Hampshire. On that day, like so many others, I had a family member whose…

Today, the House proved that if it really wants to, it can move quickly. Today, we made it easier for air travelers, and I'm very happy that we did that. But the sequester is still there, and it is still impacting schools. I have a little…

This week marks the 50th anniversary of a terrible submarine disaster. The USS Thresher, the first in a new class of subs designed to answer the Soviet threat in the Cold War, left the world's greatest shipyard, the Portsmouth Naval…

DOD notes that, "The U.S. Government has enduring national interests in the Arctic, including security, economic, and scientific interests," and that "it is clear there is a current and continued future imperative to provide a sovereign…

I thank you, Congresswoman Maloney, for the chance to speak about the damage that the Ryan budget would do to women and to families. There are a couple of points. The new Ryan budget and the cuts to discretionary programs and the cuts to…

I think doing this and doing it quickly now is appropriate, and I want to thank everybody for working in a bipartisan manner to honor the men and women.

On rollcall No. 60, had I been present, I would have voted ``no.'' ____________________

I also encourage you to look at the Balancing Act, which I offered with other members of the Progressive Caucus, as an alternative to the dangerous sequester cuts.

Sequestration cuts are bad policy and bad for the American people.

The cuts to the Department of Defense budget are destructive and indiscriminate.

It has been said that Al Qaeda's strategy is to draw the United States into an extended global conflict that validates the narrative that the United States is permanently at war with Islam.
