Currently, there is a massive crisis on our Southern Border.

I will say yes, Congressman.

This hearing is incredibly important.

A special thanks to Mr. Glenn Stoltzfus from Pennsylvania 13 in Somerset County for joining us here this morning.

On behalf of the NYPD, the FDNY, and the city of New York, we urge the House to pass the Don't Break Up the T-Band Act of 2019.

I appreciate the cooperation between all agencies and their commitment to seeing that SBA fulfills its goals relating to this program and maximizes every dollar received to help small businesses reach their potential in the international…

The consistent inability of Congress to comprehensively address this matter has left you and the President with the inability to take the actions that are necessary, to provide what we need for protection.

As a doctor, as a legislator facing this incredible opioid crisis, watching families separated, watching children and young adults die, do you and other experts believe that the construction of additional barriers and walls will help…

Tonight I rise to address the dangerous proposal being put forth by Democrats in the ongoing negotiations to secure our border and fund the government. Talks on this issue are now stalled because Democrats are demanding a cap in the number…

Today, I join my colleagues in rising to support the dignity of human life, and no time is more appropriate to do so than when we approach the 46th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Not only was the Supreme Court's 1973 ruling a judicial…

It is with a great sense of honor that I stand before you to deliver my first address on the floor of the people's House. As legislators, one of our fundamental duties is to fully fund the government and to do it on time. But there are…

When it comes to the Great Lakes, I know I can sound like a broken record. In fact, some have recently called me here the Great Lakes guy. I am proud of that, and I am proud to support this amendment, proud to stand up for one of our…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of title I, add the following: SEC. ___. GREAT LAKES RESTORATION INITIATIVE. Section 118(c)(7)…

On rollcall No. 46, I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea.''

I would be concerned about the unintended consequences of the amendment. We don't know all the potential impacts of this amendment, from safety to capacity to local economics. While I sympathize with both these gentlemen and I pledged to…

I claim the time in opposition. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Ohio is recognized for 5 minutes.

I oppose the gentleman's amendment. This amendment has far-reaching implications, and it would shut down 9 of 15 long-distance routes. I do not believe that an appropriations bill is the place to do this. This would need to be carefully…

I would like to thank the gentleman for yielding and thank Mr. Barletta for organizing this Special Order on this important legislation. Mr. Speaker, we are here today because it is critical that we protect our local volunteer firefighters…
