No, I will not yield. Mr. Lynch, we've been yielding for far too long, and I will be glad to yield to you when I'm done here, and that's up to the chairman. But I have to tell you, why do we constantly put this spin on to divide this body…
What truly makes America unique is that everybody is treated fairly and equally under the law. That's what makes us so great. That's why people say, at least if I'm in America, I know I'm going to be treated the same way as everybody else…
I think the whole purpose of this--and Mr. Duffy will have a chance to speak next--this money is collected for a specific reason. I had a conversation with Secretary LaHood talking about why can't we use the money that's been collected and…
The reason I'm here tonight is to talk about the efforts that are being used to divert Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund monies to purposes other than what Congress intended, and that is dredging and maintenance of our harbors. I'm talking…
My friend, Mr. Duffy from Wisconsin, and 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 the bill (before the short title), insert the…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Speaker, it is interesting to hear as we go through this tonight about just how important and how great a piece of legislation this is. I've got to tell you, there is an old saying out there: ``Of…
I thank the chairman and I thank Mrs. Roby for bringing this forward. It's really about time, because on the deathbed, very few people say, Boy, I wish I had spent more time at the office. I've got to tell you, from being in business all…
Today is a very important day to us. Monday, April 15, was tax day. Our Tax Code is way too big, way too complicated, way too confusing, and way too costly. Americans spend a combined 6.7 billion hours on their taxes every year, and they…
I thank the gentleman, and thank you for holding this this evening, because it's really important that we understand exactly what's going on with coal. When America was looking for energy, they went to coal. Coal has always been there for…
I thank the chairman. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of the Preventing Greater Uncertainty in Labor-Management Relations Act. If you're sick of government, spend a couple of years here. We talk about the American people. Please tell…
