I don't think many of our constituents have a high opinion of Washington, D.C., bureaucrats. Congressional staff spend hours helping constituents just get a human being on the telephone to get answers from agencies like Social Security or…

I thank my friend for his comments regarding our work in the subcommittee. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to my good friend from Virginia (Mr. Good).

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 94, beginning on line 23, strike section 206. Page 96, beginning on line 1, strike section 207. The…

We don't need to provide more subsidies to support this climate smart agriculture practice and production of aviation biofuel feedstocks. It actually makes your food more expensive because we are burning your fuel in an aircraft instead of…

My friend on the other side of the aisle is a good man. He is just, I think, misdirected on this occasion. I will be clear. I don't want the administrator to be spending time approving this contract or that contract. I don't want him doing…

Since my good friend brought it up, it was a bipartisan agreement. So the world knows that it was a bipartisan agreement here, known in Congress as what is called a four-corners deal: two on their side, two on our side. There are 435…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Strike section 1132 of the bill. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 597, the gentleman from…

May I inquire as to how much time is remaining. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Pennsylvania has 30 seconds remaining.

This is a nearly 50-year-old temporary program. It is indicative of everything in Washington: Nothing ever dies here. We just spend more and more money. The DOT literally picks winners and losers, where neighboring airports have to compete…

I thank the gentleman from the other side of the aisle, but I want to clarify. It is not a cut. We are actually increasing the spend; just not as much. Now, I know in Washington, oh, my goodness, who knew the request was up to $4 billion…

May I inquire as to how much time is remaining. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Pennsylvania has 1\3/4\ minutes remaining.

I thank the gentleman for the clarification, and I marvel at the fact that we can include the definition and the term in preparation for something that right now doesn't really exist practically. It is in people's minds, and it is on a…

This amendment strikes the word ``vertiport'' from the definition of ``heliport'' for the purposes of AIP funding, the same funding that the gentleman on the other side of the aisle just mentioned that we need so much of. As a helicopter…

Just like the last amendment, this amendment recognizes the fact that our country is out of money. We are borrowing money to pay our bills, and we are paying for things that we can't afford. We are paying for things that these folks can't…

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 257, strike lines 11 and 12 and insert the following (and adjust the margin of the subsequent text…

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 11, line 14, strike ``4,000,000,000'' and insert ``3,800,000,000''. Page 11, line 15, strike…

This amendment strikes the section that allows the administration to consider expanding the CLEEN Program. Now, as a reminder, in the CLEEN Program, the FAA provides awards to industry to develop and integrate technology that will reduce…

I am thinking about Mr. Roy's comments. We say the Republic can't exist if our colleagues on the other side of the aisle want to dismiss the calamity that is happening on the border, the human tragedy, because it is not a dismissal. It is…

I couldn't have said it better. I watched a movie that has been out for some time, but the question from the gentleman to his wife, he asked what he should do in a situation, and she said it is not what a Senator would do, not what a…

You finally reached your red line.

I think we have heard of alleged so called whistleblowers in the past, they could not reveal themselves.

I commend you for it.

I am honored to be with my good friend from Texas, standing up for all Americans and all of America in the face of this place known as the swamp. There was a time when the country revered Washington, D.C., and no one ever would think of it…

96 percent of them do not. And if you are not making a lot of money, you cannot afford the expensive one that probably will meet it.

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 appropriate place in subtitle B of title XII: SEC. __. PROHIBITION ON FUNDING FOR AND REMOVAL OF…
