Steve Stivers

Our service members and veterans have protected the United States at immense personal cost to themselves and their families.

I would like to thank the gentlelady from Illinois for yielding me time. I'd like to thank her as chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Insurance and Housing for the Financial Services Committee for her incredible bipartisan effort that she…

On rollcall No. 225, I was unavoidably detained during the vote. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea.'' ____________________

I would like to thank the gentleman from Michigan for yielding me time. I would also like to thank him for his leadership on this effort, as well as the ranking member, the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Ruppersberger). I rise today in…

I urge my colleague to consider supporting this important legislation by including it in the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act.

The goal of this bipartisan legislation is to help the Department of Defense shape its policies and practices of the TRICARE benefits to account for the specific health care needs of children.

This bill allows us to take another critical step in ensuring that all veterans are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.

I would like to thank the gentleman from New Jersey for yielding me time. I would also like to thank my fellow Ohioan, Ms. Fudge, for her hard work and support on this bill, and I would like to thank Ms. Moore from Wisconsin for her hard…

I have no further speakers. I urge adoption. I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Stivers) that the House suspend the rules and concur in the…

I ask unanimous consent that all Members have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and to add extraneous material to the bill. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from Ohio…

I yield myself as much time as I may consume. I rise today to urge the House to concur in two minor amendments made by the Senate to H.R. 886, introduced by the gentleman from Arkansas (Mr. Womack) and passed by the House last December…

I've served for 26 years in the Ohio Army National Guard and had the pleasure of serving with many brave men and women over the years, including a tour of duty in Operation Iraqi Freedom. As a member of the armed services as well as a…

Because government has spent money we don't have and borrowed money we can't pay back, our national debt now stands at $15 trillion. My daughter, Sarah, who is 2 years old, now has $50,000 as her share of the national debt. Congress and…

We all want to make sure that we don't drive jobs out of America and we don't make it harder for companies that need to manage their risk to do so.

This failure and Congress' inability to pass appropriations legislation in regular order shows that the Congressional budget process needs reform.

You know our current budget process here in Washington is broken.

I think that the bill that Chairman Dreier and Representative Whitfield sponsored would fix the process, although not be a panacea.

The current budget process is completely broken.

I would like to thank the gentleman from California for yielding me time and for his leadership on this issue. I want to voice my support for the Access to Capital for Job Creators Act. This is straightforward legislation that provides a…

That is why we strongly support the Stivers-Fudge bill, which recognizes that inter-affiliate swaps do not create systemic risk.

It is imperative that we move forward with this legislation and I respectfully request that the other Members of this Committee support this bipartisan effort.

It has been said, ``A journey of a thousand miles begins with a small step.'' Today, with a looming national debt of over $14.2 trillion, we need to take dramatic steps to decrease spending, but we can make a difference by taking small…

Sometimes small steps can make a big difference, and often the best legislation comes from our constituents. That's the case with legislation that I have introduced called the DEBT Contribution Act, which gives Americans simpler ways to…

Knowing that this report cost the taxpayers $10 million, I have higher expectations.
