On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This will be a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 212, nays 192, not voting 29, as follows: [Roll No…

May I inquire how much time is remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from New Jersey has 14 minutes remaining.

I have no additional speakers. I yield myself such time as I may consume to close. Mr. Speaker, I go back to the dishwashers and clarify some of the facts here. Republicans are throwing around a lot of numbers that I believe are not true…

The vote was closed before 92 members could vote. Had I been present, I would have voted NAY on Roll Call No. 283.

In closing, I urge all my colleagues to support this bipartisan bill. It is important that we get at junk fees, and this is one of those bills that comes out of our committee that will accomplish that goal. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the…

I have no additional speakers and am prepared to close. Let me just say, Mr. Speaker, that this act to promote resilience in the supply chain is obviously very important in what we learned, the lessons we learned from the COVID pandemic. I…

I will close by saying that, again, this is important in terms of our competitiveness globally. I ask all our colleagues to vote in favor of this bill on a bipartisan basis, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I ask that we support this important legislation on both sides of the aisle, and I yield back the balance of my time.

This is a very important bill for mothers' safety to prevent stillborn infants. I urge all my colleagues to support this on a bipartisan basis, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I will close by just saying this is a piece of legislation that many of us have been working on for some time, so we are pleased to see that it is finally seeing the light of day. I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support…

I urge support for this bill on both sides. It is obviously an important consumer safety bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I urge everyone to support this bill. I think it is pretty obvious why this bill is so important. I want to thank the sponsor again, Mrs. Trahan, for bringing this up because it will save lives. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my…

I urge all of my colleagues to support this bill. Obviously, we have to prevent more tragedies like what occurred. I ask unanimous support for this legislation. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

I have no additional speakers, I am prepared to close, and I reserve the balance of my time.

I claim the time in opposition to the amendment. The CHAIR. The gentleman from New Jersey is recognized for 5 minutes.

Apparently, Republicans don't realize that sometimes things can be a win-win. Back in April, the Department of Energy finalized efficiency standards for distribution transformers, critical components for the electric grid. Because they are…

The amendment amends the Energy Policy and Conservation Act with vague language that would likely be impossible to implement. Additionally, this amendment is clearly designed to target environmental and clean energy groups. If this…

I am prepared to close and yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Chairman, I just want to call out the problems that I have heard on the floor today from the other side of the aisle. Republicans have claimed that they care about…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 212, nays 195, not voting 23, as follows: [Roll No. 184]…

First, as I have already said, the Department of Energy must already ensure that energy conservation standards are economically justified, so this amendment is totally unnecessary. Instead of being helpful, this amendment adds duplicative…

Let me say, Mr. Chair, again, the standards that have been established by the Department of Energy have broad support. The rule has broad support from all corners. I just don't understand how my Republican colleagues can say all of a…

I am honored to have an opportunity to highlight the legacy of our colleague and my friend, Donald Payne, Jr. Last week, New Jersey lost a great public servant far too soon. Many knew Don for his trademark bow tie, big smile, and friendly…

Mr. Smith really laid out all the great accomplishments of Don Payne in terms of what he accomplished here, which was so much as a Member of Congress, but I just want to talk a little bit about the man. I think that many of us know Don for…
