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 2, line 11, after ``index'', insert the following: ``(including a detailed description of such…

May I inquire as to the time remaining. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Pennsylvania has 2 minutes remaining. The gentleman from Maryland has 2 minutes remaining.

I will just say this. I am not from Maryland, and I don't live around the beltway here, where everything is just fine. I live up in Pennsylvania, where $1 billion or $1 million is a lot of money to hardworking people who get up in the dark…

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 3, line 11, strike ``$1,000,000,000'' and insert ``$1,000,000''. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House…

This amendment requires a classified briefing on all UFOs since 2017.

I support Representative Kim's amendment. I think it is germane and I think we ought to approve it.

5,000 people of Pennsylvania died from fentanyl, coming across the border illegally.

It seems pretty simple to me.

The number of fentanyl deaths across the United States of America has gone up dramatically.

I don't know: $560 billion. I am from a little town in Pennsylvania. That seems like a lot of money to folks like me.

$560 billion of that Federal COVID relief funding may have been either lost to fraud or paid improperly.

I have an amendment at the desk, Mr. Chairman, No. 41. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 3, line 9, strike the closed quotation marks and the final period. Page 3, after…

Is the gentleman suggesting--even though we all know that we want to help, what is happening in Ukraine is objectionable, we disagree with every bit of it, what Russia is doing--but is the gentleman suggesting that the first time since the…

You were talking about defense. Of course, as a citizen who has been honored to wear the uniform for over three decades, certainly the number one priority outlined in our Constitution is defending our Nation and its citizens. When we talk…

That is on our team, I get that. But how is it the people of Pennsylvania or Texas or Maine or anywhere across the country's job, why is it their responsibility to pay for that? I don't get it. $2 million for programs promoting career…

I thank the gentleman from Texas, and I wish to offer him a Merry Christmas and a Merry Christmas to the people of the United States of America. Unfortunately, in your stocking is not going to be something you probably hoped for. I don't…

I do not think asking our own government for an accounting of our citizens' tax money in regard to the support of Ukraine is too much to ask.
