On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This will be a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 232, nays 190, not voting 10, as follows: [Roll No…

Again, I support this amendment to require the GAO to look into ways to promote deployment of broadband to our most rural and underserved areas. It is a very worthy subject and one on which I think we can find some really broad bipartisan…

I claim the time in opposition to the amendment, although I am not opposed to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from Oregon is recognized for 5 minutes. There was no objection.

I share similar concerns to Mr. Stanton about promoting broadband deployment on Tribal lands. I have visited a number of reservations around the country, including in Arizona, as well as, of course, in my own State of Oregon and elsewhere…

I claim the time in opposition to the amendment, but I am not opposed to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from Oregon is recognized for 5 minutes. There was no objection.

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, the Chair will reduce to 5 minutes the minimum time for any electronic vote on the question of passage. This is a 5-minute…

I thank the gentleman for his comments, and I yield myself such time as I may consume. I again thank the gentleman from Utah for bringing this amendment. I guess my suspicions were right: It is merely restating what is already in the 2015…

This amendment is actually pretty simple, and Members have a clear choice today on the floor: Are you for taxing the internet or not? That is the question. As we have discussed at the Energy and Commerce Committee and again on the House…

I claim the time in opposition to the amendment, although I am not opposed to the amendment itself. The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from Oregon is recognized for 5 minutes. There was no objection.

I don't have any other speakers, I don't believe. I will continue to reserve the balance of my time.

I have a motion to recommit and it is at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the bill?

I don't disagree with my colleague from Virginia that the maps showing broadband deployment in the United States can and must be improved. That is why, when Republicans held the majority for the Energy and Commerce Committee, we held…

I support the goal of this amendment in assessing the broadband marketplace and how the government can increase competition, lower prices, and improve the quality of service. This is a worthy subject for GAO to look into, and I think we…

As yet another week goes by without a single substantive legislative accomplishments, the Democrats are still struggling with the basic principle of regular order.

Again, I would say Republicans are for stopping any kind of action that throttles or blocks even paid prioritization on the internet. We share that common view of net neutrality. But I would remind my colleagues that the legislation before…

This is not regular order, and it is certainly not a process that the Democrats should be proud of.

We are going to repeat the mistakes of the past by doubling down on failed efforts from President Obama's Green Jobs Program.

But at the end of the day, we have to put the patient, the consumer, first in everything that we do.

I am disappointed that we are starting off this way, but I continue to remain hopeful that we can get back on track.

I want to thank Mr. Latta for bringing this very thoughtful amendment to the House floor, and I want to thank my colleagues on the other side of the aisle who, I believe, agreed to accept it, if I heard that correctly. The bill would…

I appreciate that from my good friend. If it were that easy to get that list, why didn't they get it for us from the Chairman of the FCC before we went through this whole process? We shouldn't have to vote on the bill to find out what is…

I want to thank the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Burgess) for his work on this amendment, and the Democrats for accepting this very thoughtful approach. Americans are more and more concerned about the role that tech companies play in this…

It is my honor to yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Scalise), the Republican whip of the House and a terrific member of our Energy and Commerce Committee.

It is critical we work toward ensuring that all diabetics have access to insulin.
