Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I bring you greetings from my Air Force Research Lab in Rome, New York.

AFRL is doing a lot of active R&D programs in quantum information science and principally around clocks, sensing, communications, and computing.

I appreciate that you are constantly evaluating new routes and new service options for Amtrak and for your riders.

It looks like that Amtrak relies on the credit card of the American taxpayers in order to stay in business.

The head of the Transport Workers Union even described these bonuses as an affront to Amtrak workers.

I find it unacceptable that your organization is paying out these lavish bonuses even in the face and to the criticism of your own workforce.

the credit card days are coming to an end.

It sounds like a really attractive job, because, as I understand by your criteria, that so long as you tried, you received your bonuses.

Americans demand that their elected leaders step up and do the work of the people. Madam Speaker, 3 weeks ago, this body did exactly that. It passed the Limit, Save, Grow Act to avoid a debt default and to put in place commonsense controls…

What plan do you have to hold the leadership of the Department of Education accountable for this lapse?

What accountability are you enforcing in your organization among your leadership?

I believe that children and parents and families deserve a choice in their education, and I would support a model where the resources follow the child and not the institutions.

I find this odd, given DOE's recent IRA and IIJA windfall.

I am deeply concerned, as I know are many of the Members of this Subcommittee and others in Congress, regarding FBI misuses of its authority.

There must be no repeat of the egregious violations of law and policy committed during the investigation of alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election campaign of former President Trump.

I thank the chairwoman for yielding. Mr. Chair, within just a few years, our Nation will task the first women with the awesome responsibility of commanding our nuclear submarines. These submarines will serve on the front lines of any…

50 years ago, Syracuse University made a commitment to high school students to help prepare them for college. It also made a commitment to educators to help them continue to grow in their profession, and it made a commitment to the…

The redefinition of these waters of the United States rules is really only about one thing, and that is Government overreach. When faced with a crisis, the Government is given a broad mandate and loves very vague rules. Just recently, we…

I am equally honored to stand here with the gentleman and fellow veteran, Mr. Mast, as well as my New York colleague, Mr. Meeks. Mr. Speaker, America has always stood up to bullies. I am a veteran of the Cold War. For half a century, our…

This month marks the 60th anniversary of the loss of the nuclear submarine the USS Thresher, SSN 593. On that fateful day, on April 10, 1963, 129 sailors and shipyard workers went out on an engineering trial. They encountered engineering…

On April 5, Mr. Obernolte and I sent a letter to the Secretary of Energy, and we're requesting more information about the rampant culture of stock trading and total disregard for the conflict-of-interest laws.

And through no fault of their own, because of our energy policies, this goes is sliding further and further away.

we're living in the greatest economic time in history.

You can't lie to the American people about the economy. They live it every day.

Regarding amendment No. 20 on H.R. 5, had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 159. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment in the nature of a substitute, as amended. The amendment was agreed to. The Acting…
