Nita Lowey: “I am pleased to yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Jackson Lee).”

I would address my friend from New York. Thank you for expressing the real needs of New York, and I do hope you will vote for this bill. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Clyburn), the majority whip.

I am delighted to yield 5 minutes to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Waters), the chair of the Committee on Financial Services.

And I claim time in opposition. There are many things in this en bloc that I oppose, and I could speak to each issue, but I want to reserve my comments for the attack on climate change. Most of us, even my friends across the aisle, agree…

we cannot allow a return to a familiar and unstable status quo which repeatedly increases violence and animosity while rendering a final resolution of the conflict impossible.
