In a radical departure from all previous COVID-19 relief laws, the bill before us today mandates taxpayer funding for abortion on demand. Today, the Rules Committee refused to even allow a pro-life amendment sponsored by Cathy McMorris…

An analysis by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget shows that approximately $1 trillion of previously appropriated COVID-19 relief funds have not been spent. Let me say that again, Mr. Speaker, about a trillion dollars…

I thank my good friend for his comments and for his leadership. Madam Speaker, one of my friends now for quite a long time has been the niece of the late Dr. Martin Luther King. Alveda King is her name. Dr. King used to be pro-choice. Very…

I thank the gentlewoman from Colorado (Mrs. Boebert) for that very passionate defense of life and the passionate and beautiful story of life. Madam Speaker, we know that Dr. John Joyce is on his way. Congressman Joyce should be here…

I thank the gentleman for his statement. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Joyce), who is a member of the Homeland Security Committee and the Small Business Committee.

I thank the gentlewoman for her very powerful statement and her leadership, which I know is going to be greatly appreciated. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Tennessee (Mrs. Harshbarger), my friend who is a new Member. She is…

I thank my friend for her statement, and I look forward to working with her going forward in this Congress. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Kansas (Mr. Estes), a member of the Ways and Means Committee, the lead sponsor of the…

I thank my good friend for his leadership on that bill and his leadership on the issue of protecting defenseless lives for many years. Madam Speaker, some Members are making their way over from our caucus, but I just want to say a couple…

Before yielding to my good friend and colleague, there are a number of Members who will be making their way over here. We do have an important caucus going on, on the Republican side, and that caucus is very intense; but we will have…

I thank my good friend for her remarks. Madam Speaker, tonight is really an appeal--an appeal to my colleagues. It is a cry for survival and justice for unborn baby girls and boys. Unborn children need the President of the United States…

I thank my good friend for his leadership and bill, which will save lives. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Iowa (Mrs. Hinson), a new Member but a Member who has secured an important post in the Appropriations and the Budget…

With just 7 days remaining in his term, today's highly partisan rush to impeach the President is being done without knowing the whole truth which takes time, effort and serious scrutiny to establish. Today's snap impeachment vote alleging…

I will begin by thanking our distinguished chairman, Eliot Engel, for his extraordinary leadership as chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee for all these years. He is a good friend. We have worked on so many issues together. I…

I thank my good friend for yielding. I thank Mr. Wilson for his great work, and I want to thank my distinguished colleagues on both sides of the aisle, Eliot Engel and Michael McCaul. Thank you for your support in helping to get this…

But we must be mindful on the 2-year anniversary that America will not sit by idly when American journalists are tortured and dismembered in such a grotesque fashion as was done to Mr. Khashoggi.

Targeted sanction seems to me to be the right tool rather than a cessation of arms sales to hold human rights abusers accountable.

If you cannot trust a regime with a bone saw, you should not trust them with nuclear weapons.

Chairman Engel has worked hard throughout his career on many incredibly important issues related to strengthening U.S. foreign policy.

The men and women of the State Department who are responsible for representing U.S. interests abroad serve as America's face to the world.

This timely bill updates existing law to account for the most recent fraudulent elections and violent crackdowns by the Lukashenko regime.

I appreciate Mr. Connolly's effort on this and I know it is heartfelt.

I would like to voice my support for that legislation which was introduced by my good friend, Karen Bass.

Mr. Khashoggi is not forgotten. This bill is an appropriate remembrance of him roughly 2 years after his death.

With a deep commitment to preserving and strengthening liberty and democracy and human rights in Europe.

I want to take this opportunity to thank Ms. Bass for her passion and leadership on this issue.
