this week I introduce the House companion to Senator Casey's Prepare All Kids Act of 2007. This bill is designed to help States expand their pre-K programs and child care services. As this chart shows, we get the biggest bang for our…

schools will be letting out soon, and American families will be hitting the road for their summer vacations. But how far will they get this year with sky-high prices at the pump? The average price of regular gasoline is hovering near…

last month, it was announced in my home district that New York City cabs are going green, as the Mayor plans to replace the city's fleet with hybrid cars by 2012. The Joint Economic Committee recently released a report entitled, ``Money in…

yesterday's Democratic National Summit on America's Children underscored the need to keep critical investments in preschool education for children today so that society does not pay a higher price later. A new Joint Economic Committee…

today we are considering funding legislation for the war in Iraq which unfortunately does not include the timelines for bringing the troops home that I and many of my colleagues have supported previously. While I strongly believe that we…

Our legislation calls for that all the residents should be covered. But remember, at the last hearing that Congressman Towns had, Agwunobi testified that we no longer needed a plan, that he wasn't going to give us a plan. They said they…

It is a scandal. An absolute scandal. And at the hearing remember the Health Commissioner testified that Zadroga did not die from 9/11? I couldn't believe it.

But I also want to build on what he said, that people are going to be watching how we treat these first responders. God forbid that we have another 9/11 attack or another terrorist attack, they are going to know that we weren't there to…

Jerry, I have his picture in my office. He found the flag, the flag that was flown around the world from Ground Zero, and they will not acknowledge that he worked there. He got awards. And what struck me about him and many others, Jerry…

I rise in strong support for voting rights for residents of the District of Columbia. I would note, Madam Speaker, that this month is Women's History Month, and it took women many, many long years to gain the right to vote. It took a…

in the last 2 weeks, we have seen a tsunami of foreclosures and turmoil in the subprime markets. The Federal regulators' recent joint guidance to stop issuance of loans that borrowers can't repay in full is a good first step, but lenders…

I join Chairman Frank and my colleague from New York in stressing that the CFIUS process is first and foremost for national security, and to give clear guidelines and predictability to foreign businesses to invest in America. The CFIUS…

Mr. Speaker and Chairman Frank, on behalf of New York City, which I represent, I am pleased that the House is considering the Brownfields Redevelopment Enhancement Act. I am proud to have been an original cosponsor of this legislation in…

for almost 4 years the administration has been saying, just give us more time, just give us more money, our plan will bring peace. And now they are saying, we need more troops, 48,000 of them. But we have already had four troop increases…
