Nita Lowey

I just want to say, Mr. Chairman, as you can see from this hearing, we all have great respect for your leadership.

I think it is important for the record to note that the money being held up is from fiscal year 2016, not fiscal year 2017.

This budget is simply insufficient to keep diseases and unrest away from our borders, and would fail to provide necessary services on which businesses and American citizens rely.

I appreciate your comments regarding interim storage sites, because as we know, Yucca Mountain is so controversial.

The Department of Energy has a critical role in America's national security and its economic prosperity.

I must say, as you know, I am a New Yorker, and I often think about, oh my, what would happen if this grid goes down?

While you no longer propose to eliminate the Department of Energy, your budget request would do grievous harm to American families by abandoning scientific innovation and ignoring the pressing threat of climate change.

We are at a pivotal moment in world history, as there is still time to protect our planet from the disastrous impacts of climate change.

these security costs during the presidential transition period and beyond are quite frankly unprecedented in New York.

I really hope the Administration will not back off from enforcing this law at a time when e-cigarettes are the most commonly used tobacco product among kids.

I look forward to working closely with you. Congratulations.

I hope the women of America are watching. Let there be no doubt about the actions of congressional Republicans and the Trump administration. They will oppose your right to make your own health decision and limit access to your reproductive…

Ranking Member Bennie Thompson (D-MS) and Representative Nita Lowey (D-NY) have authored legislation granting all TSA employees equal rights under the law during successive sessions of Congress.

I thank them all. We have been working on this bill a very long time. I, again, thank Chairman Royce for his leadership and Ranking Member Engel. Their diligent efforts to bring the READ Act before the House today is so vital, and I urge…

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, as we conclude debate on the CR, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the service of Chairman Rogers. This may be the last bill Mr. Rogers will manage as full committee chairman. I…

How much time do I have remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from New York has 22 minutes remaining.

Today we consider the second continuing resolution to keep most of the government open. To say that I am disappointed in this Band-aid approach to operating the government would be an understatement. The legislation before us is an…

I inquire of the gentleman from Kentucky if he has any further requests for time.

I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 496.

First introduced in 2004, the bill we consider today represents many years of hard work to elevate the importance of global education, bipartisan compromise, and the support of over 30 nonprofit and advocacy organizations, including…

I want to thank Chairman Royce and Ranking Member Engel for their support and their enthusiasm for this bill. Mr. Speaker, I rise in full support of H.R. 4481, the Education for All Act, which I introduced earlier this year with our…

In the face of extraordinary suffering, we are not asking for extraordinary courage from Members. We are asking for commonsense measures most Americans support. Thousands of children in Flint have been exposed to lead, yet Congress has…

I thank Chairman Calvert, Ranking Member McCollum, and Chairman Rogers for their work on this bill. Mr. Chairman, the bill before us would provide $32.095 billion for the Department of the Interior and the Environmental Protection Agency…

Before I begin, I would like to thank Chairman Crenshaw, Ranking Member Serrano, and Chairman Rogers for their efforts. And I also want to send my sincerest best wishes to my friend, Chairman Crenshaw. Andy, your willingness to work across…

The Orlando shooting reminds us there is too much that has been left undone to stop gun violence. The Republicans have voted 13 times to retain the outrageous loophole that allows suspected terrorists to legally purchase weapons--and not…
