Last week, the Las Vegas Review-Journal, which is the largest newspaper in Nevada and is one of the largest in the Southwest, was sold to a group of unknown investors. We know little about the details of the sale except that the paper was…

As the Representative from Las Vegas, one of the world's greatest tourist and business travel destinations, I, too, rise in favor of H.R. 158. This bill strengthens the Visa Waiver Program to help ensure that potential terrorists are not…

I have been pretty astounded that Mr. Campbell could come representing the FBI... and not be able to cite a single case.

How you can use the 10th Amendment argument to say that Federal regulation gives you more states' rights is kind of jabberwocky to me.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Like the others you have heard from this morning, I commend those who have worked so hard on this bill. But, like them, I, too, have reservations about the final product. It continues to underfund our…

I thank the gentleman. Mr. Speaker, when the new Speaker took the gavel last week, he promised us that the House would run differently in that Members on both sides of the aisle would get a chance to bring forth amendments and that the…

I thank my colleague for yielding. I rise in support of the Brown-Titus-Rice amendment to establish a national travel infrastructure strategy and advisory committee, and I urge all of my colleagues to do the same. I represent the heart of…

I am concerned that this practice of moving people into jobs with less responsibility but the same amount of money is occurring at other levels as well.

Without congressional action, Medicare premiums and deductibles will increase in 2016 by 52 percent for an estimated 7.5 million American seniors and people with disabilities. Because these folks will not be receiving a Social Security…

I think some of those veterans are going to the private sector not because they want to but because they have to

we are just moving around the deck chairs. We are not saving the ship, I am afraid.

I thank the ranking member for yielding and for her leadership on the VA Committee. Mr. Speaker, I rise in reluctant support of this bill, S. 2082, the VA Expiring Authorities Act. As my colleagues have outlined, this legislation will…

As a member of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, I rise in strong opposition to H.R. 1994, the so-called VA Accountability Act of 2015. We all agree on the importance of accountability for those who care for our Nation's heroes, but…

I have no further requests for time. I simply urge my colleagues to support the passage of H.R. 675, as amended. I yield back the balance of my time.

I, too, rise in support of H.R. 675, as amended, which serves to provide an increase in the benefit payments for our veterans, as well as for their families and survivors. I thank the chairman and Ranking Member Brown for their help and…

I have no further speakers at this time. So I would just simply urge my colleagues to support passage of the Ruth Moore Act of 2015, H.R. 1607, as amended, and to provide support to the victims of MST who have so bravely served our Nation…

We all agree that we should provide veterans the tools they need to successfully transition from Active Duty to civilian life. Yet, far too many servicemen and -women are struggling to provide for themselves and their families once they…

Sheriff Ralph Lamb, who passed away on July 3, was one of those larger than life characters who dot the landscape and lore of the Old West. A rancher from humble Mormon beginnings, he embodied the independent cowboy spirit. He was John…

I thank the ranking member for yielding me the time. You know, my Republican colleagues have made no secret about the fact that they want to strangle the EPA and undermine its vital environmental work, but they make little mention of how…

It is time that we gave them this recognition.

They deserve the opportunity to be buried in a national cemetery.

This week marks the second anniversary of the Blue Lightning Initiative, a DHS and DOT program to equip airline personnel with the tools to identify and save victims of human trafficking. I represent Las Vegas, which attracts more than 42…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Page 45, line 15, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $1,000,000) (increased by $1,000,000)''. The Acting CHAIR…

This amendment is about standing up for states' rights and protecting businesses, doctors, and patients who are acting legally under the medical marijuana laws of some 41 States and territories, including Nevada. Congress needs to catch up…

Asian American and Pacific Islanders' achievements in art, technology, business, and education serve as a reminder that our Nation's success is built upon the foundation of diversity. This is particularly evident in my district, which is…
