I just don't want us to create a backlog before we even really get started, because you never catch up.

I think we do have to be concerned about the President's conflicting messages.

We have heard a lot about the importance or the effectiveness of sanctions. But I question just how well they work if the administration is only kind of halfheartedly behind them.

This is the final amendment to the bill. It will not kill the bill or send it back to committee. If adopted, the bill will immediately proceed to final passage, as amended. My motion to recommit is just a commonsense measure that I believe…

I am opposed in its current form. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Ms. Titus moves to recommit the bill H.R. 3971 to the Committee on Financial Services with instructions to…

We are concerned that so few students have applied for the restoration of benefits under the school closure provision.

We encourage this Committee to pay special attention to the implementation of this provision, as it represents one of the most significant contiguous investment of resources in the new law.

That has been stopped, thank goodness. And I commend our chairman for weighing in on that and thank him very much.

I meet with diplomats and parliamentarians from around the world, and they consistently, no matter where they are from, tell me how concerned they are about the U.S.'s diminished role in world diplomacy.

Our work, though, has to be backed up by USAID and the State Department. So when we see those programs being diminished, that hurts what we are trying to do.

I rise, once again, to honor, mourn, and demand action for victims of gun violence. On October 1, a gunman armed with semiautomatic weapons equipped with bump stocks fired hundreds of rounds in a matter of minutes at concert goers in my…

I, too, rise in support of this bipartisan amendment. I thank my colleagues, Mr. Brat, Mr. Poe, and Mr. Khanna, for introducing it. We want to prohibit funds from being used by the Department of the VA on studies that cause significant…

I want to also acknowledge Congressman David McKinley and Congresswoman Dina Titus for recognizing this challenge early.

We believe that education opportunities should be a lifetime benefit.

Today, Energy and Commerce's Environment Subcommittee advanced a bill that would ram Yucca Mountain down the throats of Nevadans. Among its many faults, the bill usurps the State's water rights. Now, this is unethical, it is certainly…

I too share your concern about the mixed messages coming out of this administration, not just to Taiwan but to the whole rest of the world.

I don't believe our country has a singular voice when it comes to foreign policy.

I don't see how we can move forward in a leadership role in the world with those two things, those two problems hanging over us.

We are not here to tell other people how to live, what to do, and who to be.

I believe you have said that you are opposed to that, that we should not have done that.

I was pretty appalled by some of the things he said.

I thank Ranking Member Walz for his leadership, for bringing this bill, and for allowing me to stay involved even though I am no longer on the committee. Likewise, I thank Dr. Roe for all that he has done for veterans. Mr. Speaker, I rise…

I have missed serving on this Committee and all of you personally.

We were very pleased that legislation embodying the appeals modernization framework was reintroduced in the House.

Tomorrow marks 100 days of the Trump administration. So let's take a look. What does that 100 days mean? It means hundreds of vacancies still left in important agencies like State and Defense, hundreds of hours wasted on meaningless…
