Bill Pascrell

The reality is that this Act is working.

You would think that if my colleagues on the other side cobbled together all of the time they spent trying to undermine the ACA, they would have been able to come up with an alternative to this law.

Make no mistake about it. That is what this is about.

I thank the ranking member and my brother in the Law Enforcement Caucus, David Reichert, from Washington. I want to thank my colleagues who have joined in a strong show of bipartisan support for the COPS program, Ms. Herrera Beutler and…

I thank the ranking member and the chairman. I am not going to vote for this piece of legislation--not even close. Everyone talks about how we must maintain the roads. If you listened over the last 45 minutes, all of these infrastructure…

Neither party has the wherewithal to deal with the problem. I believe our model must receive serious consideration as the clock counts down on the trust fund's expiration. Our legislation has the support of both business and labor. I am…

My amendment would direct the Department of Defense to conduct a study on blast injury mechanics covering a wide range of primary blast injury conditions, including traumatic brain injury, in order to accelerate solution development in…

I want to thank Mr. Reichert for all the work he has done on this legislation to bring it to the floor this evening. We are talking about H.R. 2146. Law enforcement officers face physically demanding work day in and day out. Current law…

I thank both Chairman Ryan and Ranking Member Levin of the Ways and Means Committee for allowing the bill coming to the floor today, and I thank my good friends Representatives Paulsen and Reichert, my co- chair, for presenting this bill…

I thank the gentlewoman. Anyone who listened to the gentleman from Washington State, Congressman Reichert, if they have any doubt as to the significance, not only of this piece of legislation and the other three pieces of legislation that…

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, currently the IRS has not ruled on the tax treatment of State payments, instead allowing any dispute, as Mr. Paulsen just pointed out, to be resolved via what they call a private…

I thank the ranking member. I rise in strong opposition to this budget. There is football and then there is fantasy football. Mr. Ranking Member, you were being very charitable when you used the word ``scam.'' This is a real lemon by any…

To me, when we get the taxes, this budget assumes that revenues remained unchanged from our current law. Someone needs to have a conversation with the chairman of Ways and Means, because he seems to be unaware. In fact, he stated…

As the United States continues to work with Japan to promote peace and prosperity throughout the Asia-Pacific region and the broader global community, it is my hope that Prime Minister Abe's visit next week will lay the foundation for…

Unfortunately, the bill has never been enacted.

Most of the past trade deals haven't been good for American workers.

I voted against fast track then. I must vote against it again now because it unnecessarily cedes congressional constitutional authority to negotiate trade agreements.

This is not a question of trade agreements versus no trade agreements.

I have heard better stories in the Bada Bing Club in New Jersey. I am listening to the accounts of all of these poor people. Let me tell you what we are talking about here. Do you see this big chart? That is 99.85 percent that get nothing…

After sitting through 13 hours of our budget markup, I could tell you that this $294.8 billion goes a long way in making up for the devastating cuts that the other side of the aisle has inflicted on the middle class. It is also important…

I have got to say this to Chairman Brady and to our leader, Mr. Levin: you guys did a great job in keeping us together, and I think the words that I will take away are what Dr. Burgess said about this being a collaborative effort. Mr…

Every day hundreds of thousands of federal, state, and local law enforcement officers put their lives on the line to keep our communities safe. Unfortunately, the grave risk that our law enforcement officers face was tragically confirmed…

Thank you. Two hundred billion dollars more have been reported out of Ways and Means. And tomorrow, we are going to report out another $300 billion tax cut for Paris Hilton, Ivanka Trump, and others fortunate enough to be left a nice…

Thank you, Mr. Ranking Member. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, there is a stark choice to be made, there is no question about it, as I am quoting from the gentleman from California. Mr. Chairman, this is the stark choice. Look at…

On today, March 16, 2015, I was unavoidably detained in my district and missed the three rollcall votes of the day. Had I been present I would have voted: ``aye''--rollcall vote No. 113--H.R. 647--Access to Life-Saving Trauma Care for All…
