You are telling me we are borrowing money, we are sending it to our adversaries.

Even if you take out China in that calculation, this will greatly enhance our adversaries.

This is a very elementary question. You either support USAID money going to China or you don't.

I mean, I just gave you that research, and this is research and documents that were done by the Obama administration.

But if China doesn't do anything, then what we do is pretty much for naught.

Even the Wall Street Journal calls this monetary alchemy.

Do you support a probe of Federal funding going to the Wuhan Institute of Virology? Yes or no?

Yes or no, these SDRs will benefit Burmese generals with millions of dollars in foreign aid following their military coup and slaughter of innocent people. Yes or no?

I can tell you, Secretary Yellen, the money will all go to Lebanon.

Yes or no, if sanctions are removed from Iran, U.S. taxpayer dollars could be used--could be sent to the Iranian regime with SDRs, right?

Taxpayer-funded foreign assistance for Palestinian people must be conditioned on changes by the Palestinian Authority

The payoff to progressives package before us today has little to do with the ongoing pandemic. This bill, which is the most expensive single bill in history, only allocates 9 percent of the $1.9 trillion price tag to actually defeating…

I have no further speakers and at this time, and I am prepared to close. Mr. Speaker, Republicans believe everyone should be treated equally under the law. But H.R. 5 is a radical approach that will have serious, unintended consequences…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 219, nays 211, not voting 1, as…

I thank the distinguished gentlewoman from my home State of Pennsylvania for yielding me the customary 30 minutes. Mr. Speaker, the rule before us provides for the consideration of two pieces of legislation. Let's just look at both pieces…

I am deeply troubled by last week's attack on our Capitol, and I pray for the families of Officer Sicknick and Officer Liebengood. As I have been saying all summer long, violence and rioting has no place in America. The criminals…

Let me be clear about something. The violence and the rioting in our Capitol last Wednesday was tragic. It was undemocratic, and it was unacceptable. I unequivocally condemn this criminal behavior that occurred in this building. Our great…

In closing, while I support this bill, I think Congress must do more to secure our borders. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
