I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Ohio will be postponed. Amendment No. 69 Offered by Ms. Jackson Lee of Texas

Today, along with the support of my colleague, Representative Eshoo, I am offering this amendment to help an estimated 250,000 ailing veterans of the first gulf war, over one- third of those who served. It will bring the modest budget for…

Within the next 24 hours, the House will have the opportunity to end U.S. military involvement in Libya. And we should do so for the following reasons: First, the war is illegal under the United States Constitution and our War Powers Act…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Page 9, line 6, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $3,600,000)''. Page 33, line 18, after the dollar amount…

the congressman is saying that there was a mistranslation or perhaps a problem with the translation.

if there is a willful miss characterization of what Congressman Kucinich said, then what you're saying, Anderson, is fair.

It's important that the international media are now in the country because you need to see things firsthand.

I'm here on a fact-finding mission. I'm here to listen to all sides.

I want to thank Mr. Rooney and thank my colleagues. I think this has been a very important debate for this country and for our Constitution. I am opposed to this war and I want to end it. I think Mr. Rooney's bill is a powerful step in the…

I would beg to depart from the remarks of the distinguished gentlelady from Texas because there are those of us who oppose this bill in principle, and we believe we are fighting for justice as well. I want to state that if you believe the…

I want to thank the gentleman and also associate myself with his remarks just now. We were told this is about protecting civilians. It has become a cover for regime change. And just because we can change a regime with military power…

What? We don't have enough wars going on? A war in Iraq, a war in Afghanistan? We need one more war? We have to wage war against another nation which did not attack us? We have to wage war against another nation which does not represent an…

The right to protect civilians has morphed into the so- called right to change a regime and the right to destroy civilians. The situation is positively Orwellian, and it is all going wrong. Even early supporters of the war are changing…

We've been in Afghanistan for 10 years at a cost of over a half trillion dollars and in Iraq for 8 years at a long-term cost of at least $3 trillion. Those who told us the war in Libya would last days now want to extend it for another year…

Just briefly, and I thank the gentleman for yielding because, you know, this question about whether or not the government controls GM's decision, that's the focal point here.

It's a chance to conduct oversight, but it's also a chance to take stock of a critical and successful government intervention.

Those 1.5 million... are in trouble and the PBGC is in trouble because the corporations who had made a commitment to fund those programs didn't keep their end of the deal.

Those 1.5 million... They are in trouble and the PBGC is in trouble because the corporations who had made a commitment to fund those programs didn't keep their end of the deal, isn't that right?

Does Congress normally provide top-up support for insufficient pensions that PBGC has taken over?

I want to thank the chairman.

We are talking about people who produce cars, people who make steel, aerospace products.

The return on investment for the public from the restructuring of the domestic auto industry was extraordinary.

this question about whether or not the government controls GM's decision, that's the focal point here.
