I rise on behalf of the 5.3 million Americans living with Alzheimer's disease as we observe Alzheimer's Awareness Month. Families affected by this illness know firsthand Alzheimer's takes more than just memories; it takes the lives of…

I plan to withdraw this amendment, but I would like the opportunity to briefly explain. The Saltonstall-Kennedy Act of 1954 imposed a special duty on fish and fish products imported into the United States and required that 30 percent of…

I would like to thank Chairman Neugebauer for yielding me this time. Madam Chair, it is an honor to stand alongside my fellow Granite State colleague in support of her amendment. Our State of New Hampshire has one of the highest…

Granite Staters are fed up with Washington's wasteful ways. The government's irresponsible spending has led to billions of your dollars being wasted to fund projects that already exist. Instead of ensuring that the most truly in need…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I am happy to rise today in support of, and as a cosponsor of, H.R. 37. Mr. Speaker, back in April 2012, President Obama signed into law the JOBS Act, a bipartisan piece of legislation…
