Dwight Evans

I would continue to yield to the gentleman for an answer to a question. I am going to--since he is from the great State of New Jersey--say that I heard the President in his State of the Union address last week. And this topic is about…

I, too, thank my colleague for those eloquent words and those comments which were very succinct and provided a lot for us. Mr. Speaker, I thank the chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus for allowing me to have this opportunity to…

We had the gentleman from the East. Now we will go to the West, to someone whom I have watched. She is an educator and is always teaching. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Ohio (Mrs. Beatty), who is from the Third Congressional…

The next person I would like to yield to, my colleague from Texas gave a great lead-in for her, from the great State of California, as Dr. King stood up against the Vietnam war. She knows a little bit about standing up. If you know…

I would like to say to the chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, I appreciate this honor and this opportunity, as well as all the other Members, for giving me this opportunity to kick off the second session of the Congressional Black…

I appreciate this opportunity. I am not on the Rules Committee or the Ways and Means Committee, but I am on the Agriculture Committee. I think it is extremely important to recognize what Feeding America has expressed about this package…

In July, my colleague Representative Dwight Evans and I introduced H.R. 3170, the Small Business Development Center Cyber Training Act of 2017.

Access to capital is critical to the success of small business.

Lending to women and minority-owned businesses must be improved.

People working together from the bottom up.

So in other words, what I see, one is sort of like the projected and actual.

I want to just understand how that process works.

But it could have been higher?

The next person is a rare blend of poise, grace, and elegance. In the short period of time I have had the pleasure working with her, she has been a gentlewoman, but she has been a very powerful voice. Those who watched her in the last…

I thank the gentleman because he speaks truth to power. He does not bite his tongue. General Leave

As usual, Congresswoman Moore really gets to the point, and I have watched in the short period of time and knew her on the State level as we dealt in the legislature. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Johnson)…

As usual, I am speechless as the gentlewoman gives her comments because she definitely lets people know where she stands, and I thank her for her comments. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Wisconsin (Ms. Moore), another person…

I thank the gentlewoman from Illinois, who was very succinct, and added points that she needed to. She was very potent in what she just said. Mr. Speaker, may I inquire how much time is remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Comer). The…

If you want to make that kind of change, you are going to have to do something if you are going to get the growth numbers that we talk about as a country.

So if we are going to get there, we are at a point where we do have to do something radical. Would you not agree?

But would you not agree, if we are going to--you know, the President talks about economic growth in the ballpark of 3, 4 percent. And, obviously, we haven't been able to get there.

If we aren't able to meet the demands for trained workers, our country will not be able to compete globally.

Even though the United States is experiencing lower unemployment, small employers widely report difficulty finding qualified and skilled workers.

America's economy has improved since the economic downturn 8 years ago and most signs of economic gain are promising.

This is really a bipartisan approach and we have all got to work together.
