That is a step in the right direction.

I am all for one HIO. I am all for licensed veterinarians looking at them.

I submit for the Record an exchange of letters between the Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Committee on the Judiciary on H.R. 698, the House companion bill to S. 330. Mr. Speaker, I urge support for this bipartisan commonsense…

At this time, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Texas, Dr. Burgess, the vice chairman of the Health Subcommittee.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of another bipartisan bill. S. 252, the Prematurity Research Expansion and Education for Mothers who deliver Infants Early Reauthorization Act, or the PREEMIE Reauthorization Act…

I stand in support of another bipartisan bill this evening. The HIV Organ Policy Equity Act, or the HOPE Act, would lift a ban dating back to the 1990s on acquiring HIV-positive organs so that the Department of Health and Human Services…

At this time, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Maryland, Dr. Harris, one of the leaders on this issue.

Did you express any concerns about readiness to CMS?

Average Americans deserve a waiver from Obamacare, too--it's only fair when the exchanges are such a mess.

We're now hearing reports that the administration was repeatedly warned that the site was not ready for an October 1st launch.

So only 2,000, not millions the administration has claimed. So if it crashed with only 2,000 users, is volume really the issue, as the administration claims?

At this time, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Illinois, Danny Davis, the cochair of the Sugar Reform Caucus. {time} 1645

I am pleased to yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Collins).

May I inquire as to the time remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Pennsylvania has 6\1/2\ minutes remaining, and the gentleman from Minnesota has 7 minutes remaining.

In conclusion, again, this is reform. It is not a repeal of the sugar program. It is a very modest reform, simply going back to what the Secretary had before 2008 with the ability, the flexibility to allow sugar imports, when necessary, to…

At this time, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Dent), a leader in sugar reform.
