Sean Patrick Maloney

I am delighted to speak once again in support of S. 3938, the Export-Import Bank Reauthorization Act of 2006. This bipartisan legislation was overwhelmingly supported by this body when it came to the floor in April as H.R. 5068, and was…

on September 14, 2006, I was unavoidably detained and missed rollcall votes 442 and 443. Rollcall vote 442 as on the Scott Amendment to H.R. 2965, ``The Federal Prison Industries Competition in Contracting Act.'' Rollcall vote 443 was on…

at this point we do not have any further speakers. I urge a strong vote on this bill. It is supported by the Financial Services Committee, the Chair and the ranking member, the Chair and the ranking member of the subcommittee, and the…

the Bush Administration and Washington Republicans continue to tout the success of their economic policies. But their economic record actually falls far short of their rhetoric. This week, the Democratic staffs of the House Budget…

I yield 3 minutes to the honorable gentlewoman from New York (Ms. Velazquez), the ranking member of the Small Business Committee. I thank her once again for her leadership on this legislation. (Ms. VELAZQUEZ asked and was given permission…

among other harmful provisions, the underlying bill, H.R. 3603, will give away many public lands for private development to local governments completely for free. A bill this controversial should not be considered under suspension of the…

in this age of electronic transactions, we are all highly vulnerable to having our identity stolen and our credit ruined. Americans deserve every tool available to help protect their identities and their credit. And yet a data protection…

later today, some of our colleagues plan to offer amendments to this bill that would divert money from the 2010 Census. Many of them have good intentions and would send the money to other worthwhile programs. However, I would like to…

there are no further speakers on our side of the aisle, and I yield back the balance of my time.

the Bush economy continues to be unfriendly to America's workers. Earlier this month, we learned that employers added only 75,000 jobs to their payrolls in May, about half of what we need just to keep up with normal growth in the labor…

instead of finding, capturing or killing the man who viciously attacked our country almost 5 years ago, the administration misled our country and sent 150,000 troops to war with a country without any credible link to 9/11. Mr. Speaker, the…

I rise and would like to express-- The Acting CHAIRMAN. Is the gentlewoman opposed to the amendment?

I had an amendment with Mr. Udall which would have raised the funding amount to $3 million. I feel that the $750,000 is certainly welcomed and needed, but I regret that we were not able to achieve the additional $1.5 million. One way that…

No, I am not opposed to it. I am opposed to it because I feel we should have gotten more money. The Acting CHAIRMAN. The gentlewoman is recognized for 5 minutes.

I rise to honor the first National Women's Confidence Day. This is a joint effort of YWCA-USA CEO Peggy Sanchez Mills and superstar Queen Latifa, and I am absolutely thrilled that they are able to join us today in the gallery. Thank you so…

reclaiming my time, if we do not fell this beetle and other invasive species, they will continue to fell our trees across our country. I have an example here from APHIS of the beetle and what to look for if it goes to your States so you…

as a proud representative of New York City, an important center of the creative industries in our Nation, I rise in enthusiastic support of the Slaughter-Shays-Dicks-Leach-Price amendment. This amendment will provide a very small, but…

the Maloney-Miller amendment would direct $1 million of the overall appropriation for the Minerals Management Service to States and tribes for auditing purposes. I understand that the majority will accept this amendment, and I want to…

the President signed another tax bill that will add to the Federal deficit. And the House budget resolution that passed last night, with 100 percent of the Democrats voting against it, contains a provision to raise the debt ceiling for the…

last week's economic news underscored major flaws with the Bush economic policies. The economy is growing and productivity is high, but the benefits of growth are showing up in the bottom lines of companies, not in the paychecks of…

I am pleased to speak in the time reserved by the Budget Act for discussion of economic goals and policies and traditionally led by members of the Joint Economic Committee. If you listen to the President and his supporters on the other…

misplaced priorities in the Republican budget result in ballooning deficits and the underfunding of programs women and their families need to succeed in today's economy. By cutting funding for education and training programs that help…

if you look at the headline economic numbers and listen to the Bush Administration's talking points, you could get the impression that the economy is in pretty good shape. But when we talk to our constituents, we get a very different…

today I pay tribute along with my dear friend and colleague, Representative Henry Hyde, to the wonderful people of Italy. In the hours and days following the horrific terrorist attacks of September 11, hundreds of thousands of Italians…

I will always support our troops, and I thank them and honor them for their bravery and valor during the difficult task of fighting the insurgents in Iraq. I also commend and admire the people of Iraq for their determination and bravery in…
