these actions to empower women economically will help communities thrive, help economies grow, help opportunity expand.
I don't think the FCC has either used all of its own tools or cooperated strongly enough with other law enforcement agencies.
I thank the gentleman from New York for yielding to me. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong opposition to H.J. Res. 2, the disgraceful so-called balanced budget amendment. You know, it has been said again and again on this side of the…
I think we need to be more thoughtful about the data we are asking states to collect when facing a shortage of providers.
A more comprehensive approach is needed. We need to be thinking about the full spectrum of providers and their roles in solving this crisis.
In my opinion, the reporting required under this bill is overly prescriptive and burdensome and may take the limited resources states have for Medicaid GME and offer reporting that will not tell us very much.
I worry that asking States to make complicated changes to their Medicaid programs in less than a year sets them up for failure.
Many of us are very angry about Russian influence in the 2016 Presidential elections and Russian influence over our Presidential elections.
I hope that you might commit to returning to Westchester County perhaps to do a forum on this and some other things.
We must do more to turn the tide of the opioid epidemic, and we cannot hope to do that if we fail to recognize the importance of Medicaid.
These centers are a smart public health investment. They offer real time, lifesaving assistance while at the same time saving hundreds of millions in federal dollars.
The investments we make in these efforts pay huge dividends--that USAID's work advances American values, promotes economic prosperity, and improves lives around the globe.
This week, Congresswoman Brooks and I introduced the Poison Center Network Enhancement Act, a bill that will reauthorize the Nation's poison center programs for an additional 5 years.
The real-world impact of those cuts would be absolutely devastating. Tens of thousands of people will lose access to lifesaving medicines and potentially starve to death.
This Congress rejected it--bipartisan rejected it and we improved the amount and then the administration the second year... sends us another proposal for the same draconian cuts that we rejected.
I hope that you can increase whatever aid we can give to the civilian population in Syria.
I have no shortage of disagreements with this administration but I'll give credit where credit is due.
As we work to end the opioid crisis, we need to ensure that results drive decision making.
I've been extremely disappointed by the administration's draconian 33 percent cut to USAID and also to the entire international affairs budget.
Healthy and more productive societies, governments that respect the rule of law and transparency, countries that are strong fair leaders in their regions--all these help us to advance our interests around the world.
The goal of the RESULTS Act is to ensure that Federal grants intended to treat mental health and substance abuse disorders fund activities that are backed by sound evidence.
This bill says that American assistance for reconstruction should be available in areas controlled by Assad only if the regime stops indiscriminate use of weapons.
I have to say, in my view, we need to consider additional sanctions against Russia for its ongoing attack on American democracy.
I think we need to do whatever it takes, and if the administration won't do it, it's up to us.
