I guess I should say that, I don't know, maybe because I don't want Mr. Walden to retire or maybe because it is only September, I am not ready to say good-bye yet, so even though some wonderful comments have been made by Ms. Schakowsky, I…

I have no additional speakers, and I reserve the balance of my time. {time} 1400

Let me just thank my colleagues and urge support of this legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I will do the same. I urge support of this legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Once again, I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from California (Mr. McNerney). Mr. McNERNEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 1289, the PHONE Act. As we stand here today, two new, fast-moving wildfires, the…

I have no additional Members that wish to speak. Mr. Speaker, I enter into the Record a letter to the Speaker and the minority leader from the American Public Power Association, Edison Electric Institute, and the National Rural Electric…

I thank the gentleman and understand that he continues to have concerns, and I know I may not be able to address them all today, but I commit to working with my friend from Mississippi and my Republican colleagues to try to further address…

Yes, Mr. Speaker, it is absolutely my intent and the intent of the Energy and Commerce Committee that these bills be implemented in coordination with the Secretary and the Department of Homeland Security. In fact, the sole reason we are…

If the months of the Trump administration undermining science, now we have a number of polls that show that the majority of Americans have reservations about getting a COVID-19 vaccine once it becomes available.

Since January, President Trump has consistently placed politics over science in the nation's COVID-19 response, undermining the independence and integrity of our public health agencies and scientific experts.

What we continue to see from this administration is political calculations and not science guiding its decisions.

I urge each of us to put politics aside in order to deliver one unified, life-saving message that Americans can trust that the FDA's vaccine approval process and that it will be driven by the science and will result in a science-based…

My fear is that the Trump Administration might force the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to approve a vaccine before proven to be safe and effective, in an effort to boost the President's political fortunes.

I wanted to reference some parts of this. With regard to the League of Conservation Voters, they specifically say that, with regard to H.R. 4447, they urge support for the legislation in general and specifically ask that we reject…

I will be speaking in opposition to this bloc of amendments. My colleagues on the other side of the aisle have argued that this legislation picks winners and losers, and that amendments such as these might help level the playing field. But…

I intend to speak in opposition to the amendment, so I reserve the balance of my time.

I have amendments en bloc at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Ms. DelBene). The Clerk will designate the amendments en bloc. Amendments en bloc No. 3 consisting of amendment Nos. 12, 13, 28, 30, 51 and 91, printed in part B of House…

The fight, obviously, that we have all been doing for healthcare and other things needs to go on because there are many people that want to kill it, and we know that that would be a tragedy.

President Trump has not put forth a plan at all, although he has promised it for four years every two weeks.

My Republican colleagues have no plan to cover the preexisting conditions or to protect the American people.

It is indefensible that the Trump administration has refused to establish a broad open enrollment period

I am very concerned that the Supreme Court holds the future of healthcare for millions of Americans in its hands.

The ACA has been a lifeline for millions during the pandemic, but its future hangs in the balance because of this Republican effort to repeal it.

President Trump continues to support the Republican lawsuit that is now before the Supreme Court to strike down the entire Affordable Care Act (ACA) in the middle of a pandemic that has claimed the lives of more than 200,000 Americans.

Millions of American families are justifiably anxious and concerned about both their health and their financial security.
