It just seems to me to leave any country that wants to accede to Europe defenseless at this moment is not a good strategy.

I hope that whatever occurs in the future, that the border nations... that a new architecture for participation in some manner to maintain an edge.

I want to just make an observation, that it appears to me Ukraine was left defenseless over the last 2 decades.

He worked so hard for the men and women in our armed services and our veterans.

He had a respect for regular order, for the gavel, and for seniority, which I share.

I want to thank Chairman Mica so very much for the privilege of extending the deepest condolences of the people of Ohio to the Young family.

He was not just a vigilant patriot, though that surely would have been enough, but he really was a man of the House.

I would thank the chairman for that courtesy and just say that I would urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this particular piecemeal continuing resolution. Hopefully, others will come to their senses and we will be able to vote for a…

Thank you, Congressman McGovern. High fuel costs are an enormous burden on America's families and our military. It is also a burden on every branch of the service in which it costs us $400 a gallon to deliver 1 gallon of gasoline--fully…

Congressman Kelly, your intention is not to preclude the administration from working with us on the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund if they have a creative idea that would help us?

I thank the gentleman. LDRD is an important program for the labs to recruit and retain the top talent that is needed to accomplish their mission. I join the chair in agreeing to work with our colleagues so that the national security…

I rise in strong opposition to the gentleman's amendment. I'm not quite sure why he's doing this, but, you know, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act provided $3.25 billion in borrowing authority to modernize the electricity grid. I…

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 Georgia will be postponed. Amendment Offered by Mr. Cohen

I would just like to reclaim a couple of seconds here and place on the record that, as to the Army Corps of Engineers, the gentleman is correct. If we look back to the years 2011 and 2012, the bills terminated or suspended over 300…

I wonder, for those that don't come from your part of the country, Congressman Garamendi, talk about what it's like to face that possibility of nonrepair of the facilities that you are discussing. The Acting CHAIR. Members are reminded to…

We have no further requests for time, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I have been given every indication that this amendment is going to be acceptable to both sides, and I would urge my colleagues to support it. I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: In section 4402(a) of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (7 U.S.C. 3007(a)), as added by…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Ohio will be postponed. Amendment No. 15 Offered by Mr. Royce The Acting CHAIR. It is now…

--Just to say that the first obligation is to feed the hungry, feed the hungry. And I don't think the gentleman would want to have on his conscience any harm to the senior citizens of this country, so I'd ask you to rereview your budget…

Well, then you've seen them in the line. You've seen the senior women in the line in all these food banks, a third of an increase, sir.

I think that that is something to also consider as one looks at ways of solving this problem geographically.

Whether or not we ever build another nuclear facility in this country, or another nuclear weapon, we have this challenge of spent fuel.
