Today I unintentionally missed one rollcall vote. Had I been present, I would have voted: ``nay'' on rollcall No. 62--H. Res. 1052, providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2799) the Expanding Access to Capital Act, and providing for…
I thank the members of the Energy and Commerce Committee on both sides of the aisle for this reauthorization act. The time flies. When we put this together 5 years ago, it was bipartisan, as well. Our fire heroes run into burning buildings…
I unintentionally missed one rollcall vote. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 57, H.R. 7102, the Native American Entrepreneurial Opportunity Act. Stated against: Mr. McCORMICK. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 57…
Let me remind everyone how we got here. State and local taxes were always deductible--State and local taxes-- since the Civil War, before we even had a tax code, until the House Republicans and Mr. Trump stole the deduction in the 2017…
The IRS announced it had recovered $485 million from only 1,600 millionaires.
That fact should surprise no one, since it was Republicans that stole away that middle-class tax help in the first place. This is a very critical issue, Mr. Speaker. I hope we address it sooner rather than later. The SPEAKER pro tempore…
The testimony today should upset a lot of us, that science, research, and industry has come so far to create lifesaving medicines, yet gravely ill patients might be denied access because of shortages.
In the wake of the COVID pandemic, we recognized the dire need for America to fix our supply chains.
We want to bring safe, plentiful, and less expensive prescription drugs to Americans.
Similarly, the cost of insulin is now capped at $35 for millions of Americans, thanks to the action that we took.
Americans received terrific news last week that the Medicare has begun its historic negotiation to lower the price of 10 popular drugs.
The enhanced Child Tax Credit enacted by Democrats in 2021 slashed childhood poverty in half. I repeat: in half. It is not hyperbole to call it one of the most successful policies ever passed by this Congress. And it is a tragedy its…
Protecting the privacy of the American people must be our priority. I strongly urge my colleagues to support this commonsense measure. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
I strongly encourage my colleagues to support this commonsense measure today. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
I hope the committee will honor my request for an Army Corps study on how they can help make the raceway system operable.
I encourage the committee to work with my office to explore ways the Army Corps could perform cleanup, while the non-Federal sponsor remains financially responsible.
I want to thank you, Chairman and Ranking Member, for the opportunity to testify in support of my Water Resources Development Act priorities.
I am requesting the committee support a comprehensive study by the Army Corps of Engineers to examine measures to improve flood mitigation, river navigation, and environmental sustainability on the Passaic River.
Flooding is a recurring problem in my State, with severe consequences for communities in the Passaic River Basin.
I want to thank you for your time--I know it has been a long day, it will be a longer day, I've got to run back to my committee--and consideration of my request.
I hope that the committee will support my request for a study of Berry's Creek to devise solutions to these issues.
I can't say enough--and in 25 years that I have been in this Congress--of an agency that has been more responsive than the Army Corps of Engineers.
