I thank Representative Hartzler for coming to the floor tonight and speaking on this bill. It is interesting that legalizing assisted suicide can lead to an increase in suicide. We spend hundreds of millions of dollars in our country on…

I thank Representative Hice. Mr. Speaker, this law, the point about what is going to go on the death certificate, we have had a debate lately in our country about alternative facts, and here we have a law that says you can't say on the…

Dr. Wenstrup, I thank you for introducing this legislation and for having the courage to live the life you have lived in serving our Armed Forces overseas. I yield to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Jody B. Hice) who co- chairs our Values…

The rule thwarts investor preference and effectively, in my opinion, subsidizes Fannie and Freddie and the Federal Government.

Municipalities, universities, hospitals, and corporations are seeing their borrowing costs go up, and we can trace this directly to the dislocation caused by this rule.

I have become concerned about the significant dislocation that we are seeing as a result of the regulatory changes.

Community banks are closing or consolidating in a desperate effort to stay viable in the face of a swarm of new rules and regulations.

I don't think we can say that this rule is necessary or helpful.

The result of that attitude has been the crafting of rules that systematically take a wrecking ball to one industry after another.

If you were 9 years old and homeless, how easy would it be to complete your homework assignment?

I cannot escape the fact that we simply don't have enough low-income housing. We don't have the units.

It is a huge moral issue and deserves a solution. You can't fix it unless you fix housing.

Wouldn't lifting these secondary sanctions weaken our efforts to combat the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism?

I think the failure to have such a strategy has undermined our overall efforts.

I thank the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Sensenbrenner) for his work on this important legislation. To close, I simply urge my colleagues to support this commonsense amendment to ensure that the funds provided in this legislation can be…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 4, after line 3, insert the following: ``(9) Developing, implementing, or expanding a program to…

To close, increased access to naloxone, particularly for patients who are at high risk, has been identified as one of the most powerful tools for reducing the number of opioid and heroin-related overdose deaths. Let's ensure that 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: Page 6, line 13, strike ``and''. Page 6, after line 16, insert ``and'' after the semicolon. Page 6, after…

The Dodd-Frank Act, which was sold as a way to end too-big-to-fail and product consumers when it ends up enshrining is too-big-to-fail in law.

EPA regulations that are throwing middle-class workers in my district out of work.

I consider the Affordable Care Act, where we had the Congressional Budget Office say that is going to cost 2 million jobs.

So the gentleman from Texas will control the time, I yield back the balance of my time.

I am going to yield the balance of my time to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Gohmert), who has long been an advocate for the types of freedoms I have been talking about, religious freedom, and the first right that we have been talking…

Next week, the Supreme Court will hear the most important religious freedom case in decades. It is Zubik v. Burwell. The purpose of this Special Order is to talk a little bit about religious freedom and what is at stake here. Before I…

I would just point out that what we are looking at here is that the SENSE Act seeks to accomplish what the EPA should have done in creating special categories. Again, if you are looking at compliance costs, any costs are going to be low…
