We came together on a bipartisan basis in this Congress to authorize the Full-Service Community School program in 2015 because we know its value in the districts.

The Department of Education's mission is to promote student achievement...your budget is clearly on a different mission.

Despite urgent warnings from Congress and the public health community, it has taken weeks for the Trump administration to request these emergency funds.

This is an epidemic. You know, I speak to my grandkids, sixth grade, fifth grade, it is unbelievable what is going on out there.

Frankly, we need more resources to combat this epidemic not less.

With all due respect, the administration chose to make these cuts. This wasn't a tough choice; it was the wrong choice.

Without fail, your vision hurts our students and their families.

We really do need these answers right away, but I would like to turn to another matter on--which is impacting public health.

The hour is late, vote ``yes,'' and I yield back the balance of my time. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, we have once again been called to respond to a crisis. In the past, we have faced national security threats and natural disasters. But…

As long as I have been part of this subcommittee, we have had bipartisan agreement that foreign assistance is critical to our national security and to maintaining America's leadership role in the world.

I am still waiting for that assessment.

The administration cannot be successful in these initiatives if we under or defund the basics, which is exactly what the proposed 20 percent cut to our foreign assistance programs would do.

It is also my job to ensure that you are addressing public corruption in the Northern Triangle.

the proposed shutdown of the U.S. Trade Development Agency is one example of the lack of understanding by the administration

I am not going to vote for a bill that comes before me that does not include the poor working people that I represent.

the administration has once again signaled its ill-advised and irresponsible approach to foreign affairs by proposing a nearly 20 percent cut to foreign assistance

USAID helps the world's most vulnerable, assists in recovery from natural disasters and humanitarian crises, and supports countries' efforts to strengthen governance, rule of law, and human rights.

Despite significant progress on our development priorities, we are currently off track to meet the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.

A bipartisan majority in Congress has rejected shortsighted cuts to overseas programs, and I am confident we will do again.

Lack of progress and even setbacks to reducing illegal crops comes less from copa sino farmers than the lack of political will by the civilian and military authorities.
