I won't waste the Congress' time going through a great deal of debate. But as brief as I can, what the gentleman's amendment says is no matter what the result, if whole classifications of people are discriminated against based on a set of…

I share the sentiments of the chairman. Space technology is critically important. I want to acknowledge the work that was originally done by Bobby Braun, who is now at Georgia Tech, Mike Gazarik, who now is the chief space technologist at…

Early one morning, I went over and visited the ATF and met with Todd Jones, the administrator, and met a large number of his critical leaders there at the agency. They are doing an extraordinary job under difficult circumstances. The…

I want the House to take note that we have increased this account already in last night's action, so this would be duplicative. Plus, it would take away funds from the agency that we were just referring to, that is Alcohol, Tobacco, and…

When you listen to our highest law enforcement officials in the country and our national security officials, they join the Chairman's very early point. When he was saying it, no one was paying attention, I think, that cyber attacks are the…

The gentleman moved back and forth from the original allegations to today's report from the inspector general, but left out some very important points, and I want to make sure the House is operating from full information. The allegation…

The chairman and I sat through some hearings last year, listening to and learning about the hatcheries in Washington State and learning about both the treaty responsibilities and the natural hatchery programs. I think we funded it at the…

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 Oklahoma will be postponed.

I ask for a recorded vote on the last one. The Acting CHAIR. The Committee had already progressed to the next amendment.

I indicated in my remarks that we were asking for a recorded vote. Would you like to read back my remarks? The Acting CHAIR. The Chair did not see any Member seeking recognition for that purpose at the time the result of the voice vote was…

That being granted, I also think it is a great amendment and from a great Member. I thank the chairman for agreeing to it. I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman…

I support the intent of the amendment. I can't support the offset. It comes out of the general exploration account of NASA, but it would put additional strains on programs like Commercial Crew and Commercial Cargo, which are very, very…

I move to strike the requisite number of words. The CHAIR. The gentleman from Pennsylvania is recognized for 5 minutes.

I resemble some of the remarks that have been made as of late on the floor. I want to say a couple of things. One is that a lot of us like to hold onto things, but, you know, life moves on and the country moves on. There is a point in time…

I rise again in support of this amendment. I join with the chairman. I do note that this review has taken place at a number of universities, but none of these investigations have concluded and we don't know the exact facts. But we do know…

I support the chairman in accepting this amendment, but his warning about census and the need for us not to assume that we can walk out with a bill with zero for census and live up to our responsibilities--our constitutional…

First of all, in terms of the previous amendment that was withdrawn, it is very important that we note that innovation is the driving force in our economy. The World Economic Forum said: America's economy is built on innovation. So I want…

I thank the chairman for agreeing to accept it. I want to spend a second on this. There is no more important an issue facing our country in terms of national security than this question of cybersecurity, and Chairman Wolf has been at the…

I thank my colleague from Iowa for offering his amendment. I oppose it. I would hope that we would usher in the day in which the House would take up comprehensive immigration reform. The President has acted, the Senate has acted. The…

I respect your decision then, and we will proceed. Thank you. Amendment Offered by Mr. McNerney The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment offered by the gentleman from California. The Clerk read as follows: Page 7, line 17…

First of all, I appreciate the majority leader. I know for certain that he has an interest, particularly in these areas that he has spoken about, because on one day, at the end of a long week, the two of us ventured over to the National…

I will not request a recorded vote on this amendment, but I did want to speak on behalf of it. Colleagues in my home State of Pennsylvania, Congressman Meehan and Congressman Brady, have been very interested in the Veterans Courts. I was…

I also rise in support of the amendment. This is a crisis any way you look at it in my home State of Pennsylvania whether it is in the Pocono Mountains area or in the city of Philadelphia. All throughout the country, we see this epidemic…

I oppose the offset. I do not oppose the notion that we should have a more robust clemency approach in our country. I commend the administration for this, and I hope that we can find a way to provide more support. I don't agree with the…

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 California will be postponed. Amendment Offered by Mr. Bridenstine
