I thank the gentleman, a good friend and great colleague, for bringing this RAPID Act forward because I strongly support it. I want to just reflect. Go out of these hallowed Chambers and go into the private sector, and think about going…

I am a cosponsor of the Electricity Security and Affordability Act. We have heard a lot of rhetoric on the floor about what is going on, but I want you to understand something. In Pennsylvania, over 40 percent of the electricity is…

I thank the chairman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of this act. It is really just common sense, is it not? And I think it best exemplifies how America handles crises. They adjust. They make an adjustment. This…

On rollcall No. 51, the Grijalva Amendment No. 1, I was inadvertently detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``no.'' Amendment No. 3 Offered by Mr. Labrador The Acting CHAIR. The unfinished business is the demand for a recorded…

This inconsistency makes absolutely no sense and leaves the VA off the hook. In other words, this bill holds VA facilities accountable to the same standards as other medical facilities located in the same State. This just makes sense. Now…

This is appalling that we are even at this point in talking about this providing health care for women. I am really shocked. If we are not providing the best possible medical help for expectant mothers and their unborn child, that is not…

This just makes so much sense. At a time when America looks at this institution and says why don't you just work together to get rid of some of this overregulation, this overburdensome, adding cost to almost everything that we do, we can…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I am actually a new car dealer and have been a new car dealer for many, many years, since 1970, at a store my dad started in 1953 after coming back from the war. So I have got to tell you…

I thank the gentleman, and I rise in strong support of H.R. 3350. This is a piece of legislation that protects the people, not a political party, not politicians, not Presidents who don't keep promises. This is a letter I got from Melissa…

Sometimes the truth hurts, and for a quarter of a million Pennsylvanians, the truth really hurts because they are losing their health care plans. Mike McKean and his father own and operate Titan Tool Company. It is a small business in…

First, I do want to thank the chairman, the ranking member, and also Representative McCollum. Mr. Chairman, our amendment is on the Asian carp. It is a very invasive species that really has a devastating effect on the Upper Mississippi…

3 years ago, I was elected-- and so were a lot of my classmates--in what we termed a very fair election. I think the issue that we all need to be concerned about right now is that it is truly unique in America that everybody is treated…

I thank the gentleman. Madam Speaker, the word ``hypocrisy'' has been thrown around a lot tonight. I got to Congress about 3 years ago, and my understanding was if you were Republican, you hated women, infants, children, veterans, and…

In the United States, a child is diagnosed with cancer every 36 minutes. Cancer remains the leading cause of death by disease for children under 15. Now, each September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. I would just like to…

I thank the gentleman from Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, we have heard from a number of Members tonight. I think this is a day that we really have to reflect back and look at mixed messages. Back in 2009 at a NATO summit in Strasbourg, France…

Thank you, Mr. Bridenstine. At this time, I would like to yield to the Member from Mississippi 1, Mr. Alan Nunnelee.

I thank the gentleman from Texas. At this time, I would like to yield to Jim Bridenstine, who represents Oklahoma 51.

I thank the gentleman from North Carolina. Your comments are very timely and very needed. At this time, I would like to have Mr. Steve Stockman from Texas 36 address the situation.

I thank the gentleman from Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I now would like to yield to my friend from North Carolina, Mr. Richard Hudson.

Now, one of those red lines says: ``The Second Amendment to the Constitution must be upheld.'' But the Treaty contains only a weak, nonbinding reference to civilian ownership and fails to uphold the fundamental, individual right to keep…

I thank the chairman. Mr. Speaker, I've heard so much about pay being frozen that I've got to tell you: the people that I represent in the Third Congressional District of western Pennsylvania wish their pay had been frozen. It has gone…

I thank the chairman. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.R. 2711. Let me tell you why. I hear about protecting rights all the time and how important it is for the government to be able to do the things that they need to do. Let me…

For those of you up in the gallery, please put on your seatbelts. Again, this room is spinning so fast right now that it's hard to determine what's being said or why it's even being said. So, please, put them on. I don't want you to fall…

My comment, Mr. Speaker, is I'm concerned about the safety of those watching today from the gallery. I just wanted them to be aware that there is a definite turntable here, and I'm really surprised that anybody can walk straight when they…

My colleagues on the other side, I do have great respect for both of the gentlemen. It is not a question of respect for other Members of Congress. The question is: How much respect do we have for American taxpayers? I think sometimes we…
