if it's accurate that what you're doing--destroying little, innocent, unborn lives and selling their body parts for profit--if that's not against the law, then we damn well better change the law and make it against the law because we're…

Since the start of the Syrian civil war, hundreds of thousands of people have fled taking refuge in neighboring countries.

it is very disappointing that we have to have a hearing like this about an organization that every year brutally kills hundreds of thousands of unborn, innocent babies and sells their body parts and does that for profit.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, the passage of an annual National Defense Authorization Act to lay out our Nation's defense and national security priorities is one of our most important duties as Members of Congress. This…

I thank the gentleman from Utah for yielding. I rise today to speak on behalf of H.R. 558, which names the post office in Springboro, Ohio, after Richard Chenault. Mr. Chenault was born in Xenia, Ohio, on December 26, 1925. He was married…

A few years ago, a so-called doctor in Philadelphia by the name of Kermit Gosnell was killing babies-- literally. He ran an abortion clinic there, and as can happen in these houses of horror, some of these innocent, unborn children were…

This measure recognizes those realities and reasserts our support for an Israel that is treated with the dignity and respect that it deserves.

I want to commend you for bringing this legislation before the subcommittee today.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, tomorrow is September 11, a solemn day in our history when thousands of Americans lost their lives in the worst terror attack in our history. It is disturbing that we happen to be debating…

I would like to take a moment this evening to offer my appreciation and sincere best wishes to Mark Wellman, my chief of staff for the last 4 years, who is leaving us at the end of this week to accept an appointment as a professor of…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Before I get into my prepared remarks, I have to respond to my good friend from Georgia's comments about the Affordable Care Act, which many have come to start referring to as the ``Unaffordable Care…

I thank the gentleman. The REINS Act forces government to think before it acts. It protects the American people by ensuring that those that they elected get a say in major regulations--not all regulations, just regulations that would have…

But when you say that that doesn't depend on trust, that just strains credibility, I think, to say there is trust on both sides involved in this.

This administration, the President specifically called ISIS, famously, the JV team. That clearly wasn't true.

Two weeks ago, on July 13, this Chamber overwhelmingly passed H.R. 2499. This legislation provides greater assistance to our veteran entrepreneurs by making Small Business Administration, SBA, loans more affordable for veterans. It…

At this time I have no additional speakers, and I reserve the balance of my time.

To close. Mr. Speaker, I again want to thank the gentlewoman from New York (Ms. Velazquez), our ranking member on the Small Business Committee, for her cooperation and her hard work in making sure that we resolve this sticky issue and that…

If this is such a good deal, why is Israel so opposed to it?

President Obama declared al-Qaeda to be 'decimated,' 'on the run,' 'broken apart,' 'on their heels,' 'very weak,' and those are all quotes, by the way.

Why would the Iranians spend so much time and so much effort in developing I.C.B.M.s, intercontinental ballistic missiles, if they don't intend to acquire and build nuclear weapons?

This is I think just a terrible deal, and I hope that we look very closely at this.

Snapback sanctions are a delusion.

wasn't that one of the big things that they insisted on? They insisted and we succumbed to this--the whole idea of lifting the arms embargo, which will give them the ability to acquire additional technology, I.C.B.M. technology from Russia.

As we look back some 70 years in commemoration of the end of World War II, it is a good time to reflect upon one group of unsung heroes who went above and beyond their service to preserve the freedoms we enjoy today. The Flying Tigers…

I thank the gentlemen for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank Congressman DeSaulnier and Congresswoman Lee for their leadership and drawing attention to this issue and for helping to bring attention to this story of injustice. The story…
