I am proud to stand with my colleagues on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee today in support of this bill, which is the result of a lot of hard work over many years and includes a number of important wins for my constituents…

I thank the gentleman for yielding and I thank Ranking Member Engel for his leadership in this. I, too, rise in support of H.R. 6197. It is a bill that will combat the illegal wildlife trade by authorizing rewards for information on…

I thank the chairman, and also to my friend from Florida who sponsored this legislation. I too rise in support of H. Res. 401. It is a resolution urging countries around the world to outlaw the dog and cat meat trade, and to recommit to…

Can you, very specifically, provide to the subcommittee a detailed justification or the project worksheets under which PREPA is requesting reimbursement for power restoration in Puerto Rico?

I want to thank the gentleman for yielding. I thank Chairman Royce and Ranking Member Engel for bringing this legislation, but especially my colleague, Congresswoman Frankel, for being such a champion for women's rights and issues not only…

I say again that we are most impressed by the two people whose names are on this Federal building, and I urge my colleagues to support the designation. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

I, once again, urge passage of this legislation and all the bills that we have brought before you today from this subcommittee. I want to thank our chairman, Mr. Barletta, for working with us across the aisle on these bipartisan bills. Mr…

I thank my colleague, Mr. Butterfield, for sharing with us that amazing life story. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to support passage of this bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I thank our colleague Mr. Cuellar for helping explain why it is even more important for us to name this building for Judge Kazen. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

current policy is so bad and relations so abominable that the OAS recently unanimously passed a resolution condemning our behavior.

Our relations with Latin America over the years, at best, have been benign neglect, and at worst have been shoring up either with troops or resources, governments that practice state terrorism.

I share in your skepticism about this so-called agreement and some of the vagueness of the terms.

Our President is not a master of the English language, much less any other one.

He used the same language as North Korea and China used about the joint military exercises and called them provocative.

I don't think we should give the arsonist too much credit for putting out the fire.

I thank Congressman Kihuen for yielding and for his leadership on this issue. Earlier this evening, we heard from the distinguished Member from Illinois, who continues to push the ``Yucca or bust'' policy of the last 36 years. He claimed…

As you know, I represent Las Vegas. I am not sure we can take bets on the Soap Box Derby in Las Vegas, but I would say the odds are in favor of somebody from your district winning if it does occur. We have no other speakers, and so I just…

I want to thank Chairman Royce and the ranking member Engel too for making this a priority for this committee.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I rise in opposition to this rule and the underlying bill which, much like the Republicans' tax measure, comforts the comfortable and afflicts the afflicted. It will have devastating impacts on SNAP…

That is in Washington. It is not in Oregon. If you don't even know where Hanford is, I am not sure you really understand what took place there. I would just say: The law of the land, that is a great argument. You forgot about that argument…

I would say again, please keep in mind that this has an opportunity to pass. It will really solve the problem. It will not turn the clock back to an old way that has failed, that is faulty science, bad politics, and even worse policy. Mr…

Also, contrary to the sponsor's comments, the area around Yucca Mountain is not some desolate area. It has iconic wildlife, endangered species, and Native American artifacts. Also, the proposed facility sits above the water table and on an…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Chair, today we must decide if you are going to double down on policies that have been an abject failure for the last three decades or if you will chart a new course that doesn't repeat the same…
