Bill Pascrell

Do you think that that is a hurdle we can get around, get over, et cetera?

I wanted to highlight a concern about intellectual property...

I urge you to stay firm and not go backward.

We want to build manufacturing in this country, but not that--the sacrifice of whether it is services or anything else.

To quote a very famous President: There they go again. This is an alternative universe, through the Speaker, that you are trying to create. For years, we have been talking about how to reform SGR and how to pay for our Medicare providers…

Delaying the individual mandate will result in 13 million fewer Americans getting health insurance through the ACA and higher premiums for those with health insurance. You want it to fail. You don't want it to succeed. You forgot what you…

It is because of this Congress and the last three Presidents that we finally have come to the point of recognizing it and have stopped sweeping it under the rug.

The commitment that the President has made to expanding educational opportunities and the investments in research and science within this budget are things I strongly support.

The BRAIN Initiative is one of the investments that I think is particularly worthwhile.

I want to state for the record that today, March 11th, I was unavoidably detained in my district and missed several rollcall votes. Had I been present I would have voted: ``aye''--rollcall vote 115--On Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass…

One of the most egregious newly legal big spenders are organizations operating as 501(c)(4) tax-exempt groups. They could easily be under section 527. We created a special section of the Tax Code precisely for tax-exempt political groups…

I sincerely have the greatest respect for the good doctor. I think he is a reasonable man and a good person, but when you are explaining, you are losing. I rise in strong opposition to this legislation. After we learned last year about the…

This wide-ranging bill addresses all aspects of our preparedness frame-working.

I understand that Representatives Pascrell and King are reintroducing the WMD Preparedness and Response Act.

Ukrainian Americans deeply desire a solution to this crisis which respects the fundamental rights of their sisters and brothers in Ukraine to free speech, press, and peaceful assembly. It is my sincere hope that the United States can…

We need to get--make sure that there is a sense of urgency on this administration and future administrations about this very critical issue.

We have not done near enough to address the issues which the 9/11 Commission laid before us.

I thank both Mr. Eliot Engel of New York and Mr. Chris Smith of New Jersey for leading us through what are important things for us to contemplate, because what is applicable to Ukraine is applicable to a lot of places in this world. So I…

This is either a priority or it is not, and when everything is a priority, nothing is a priority.
