The Public Record
I thank Mr. DeSantis for bringing this important amendment as we strive to hold Iran accountable. There are many other bad activities Iran has been involved in directly impacting the United States, our allies in the Middle East, and around…
I present this amendment on behalf of Mr. DeSantis of Florida. Section 401 of the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act of 2010 requires the Secretary of the Treasury to prescribe regulations to prohibit, or…
As the designee of the gentleman from Florida (Mr. DeSantis), I offer amendment No. 52. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title)…
I ask my colleagues to support this amendment offered by Mr. DeSantis of Florida, which has been part of a very effective effort on behalf of Mr. DeSantis advocating for a more effective foreign policy, especially in light of a deal…
I thank Mr. Hardy and Mr. Clay for their comments and for their support of this legislation. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of my bill, H.R. 3070, the EEZ Transit Zone Clarification and Access Act, which would clarify the Federal laws that…
This legislation ensures that those who are in need of the most assistance are not unfairly impacted by this new policy shift.
Why does it seem like no one at an airport security checkpoint has been delegated with that awesome, yet shockingly absent, power of common sense? Why is the 80-year-old granny in a wheelchair being harassed? Why is the U.S. military…
A political commitment is one that is the official policy of the United States Government that we are fully committed as a government to implementing the deal on its terms.
As a nation, supporting our veterans must always be one of our highest priorities. These brave men and women who willingly and selflessly put their lives on the line while defending our country deserve the highest quality of life and care…
This is National Police Week and National EMS Week, which is when we pause to reflect and honor the service and sacrifice of the brave men and women who have lost their lives in the line of duty while serving to protect us. We also pay our…
I thank the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Ratcliffe) and Mr. Thompson as well for both speaking in favor of this legislation, H.R. 1887. Plum Island is not for sale. The whole purpose of this legislation is to prevent the sale of Plum Island…
I have lost more people I have known in the service due to PSTD, than I have in combat.
The growing heroin and opioid crisis has especially hit home in my district in Suffolk County, New York. There was a 2015 report issued in New York State that showed that, out of all 62 counties in New York, it was my home county that was…
A lot of the opening statements that we hear from the VA representatives are telling the Committee about everything that is working, to create this picture of the VA as if it is perfect.
The rapid rise in drug abuse across America, specifically the sharp increase in heroin and prescription opioid abuse, has severely impacted our local communities and has become a major issue across our country. Tragically, 78 people each…
It is a top priority of mine to ensure that all veterans on Long Island and across the country receive the proper treatment and care they deserve, which is why I fully support the adult day health care program.
I introduced bipartisan legislation, H.R. 2460, which would ensure that 70 percent or more service-connected disabled veterans are able to receive adult day health care at no cost to the veteran and their family.
It must always be a top priority of Congress to ensure that all veterans receive the proper treatment and care they deserve.
H.R. 2460 will fix this disparity by authorizing the VA to enter into agreements with State veterans homes to provide adult day health care for veterans.
This legislation will end this reckless practice once and for all, while increasing accountability and transparency at the VA.
As we come toward the end of our hour remembering and celebrating the women who have come before us and who serve today, trying their hardest to create more opportunities going forward, I would like to mention eight young ladies from the…
There are a lot of people here in this Chamber who all find different issues that interest them that they focus heavily on and move the ball forward in a very positive way. The one thing that I have experienced during my time serving…
I thank the gentleman from Texas. I would imagine anyone who was wondering what Women's History Month was all about should just listen to your remarks as you pay exceptional tribute to some amazing women from your home State of Texas who…
As Mrs. Brooks departs, I think of Cathy McMorris Rodgers' words in that this has been an inspiring hour. I just think of these three women who are standing before me and what they have accomplished. Gosh. I now yield to the gentlewoman…
I thank Mrs. Brooks for being here. Hopefully, for all of those young girls who come home from school and, as part of their routine, they are watching C-SPAN right now, looking for inspiration on what to do with their life--high school…
