We would actually have taken in enough revenue to pay for the things that we were buying, but a substantial portion of this body, unfortunately, my friends, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, said: No, no, no. We are going to…

That is fine, but substantially, the magnitude. That money is going somewhere right now.

I don't know if you talked about disability, where we have gotten the money for the increase in disability, how we are making up for that, what the growth of that number looks like, and what the plan for the future is.

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 31, line 17, after the dollar amount, insert ``(increased by $1,000,000) (reduced by $1,000,000)''…

The rise in crime, drug abuse, and homelessness has created further challenges to the protection of Federal buildings and the safety of those that work and visit them.

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 title V, add the following: SEC. __. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS. It is the sense of the Congress…

The increase in EV usage and sales is wholly by the Federal Government, right?

Is that fair that we do that?

The only thing that is going to save Baltimore from blacking out, from going without power, right, is an emergency designation from the Secretary and the Department of Energy.

Sir, with all due respect, I appreciate that answer, but we know how it measures up.

I am just asking now, based on this, will OPM commit to advocating for the re-lease of these buildings, this infrastructure that we have when the occupancy rates are so low?

I represent many Federal workers that get up early in the morning and go to work and believe in their mission and work hard.

He is not welcome to his own facts, and a very quick search just shows NOAA saying that there is a downward trend in Atlantic hurricanes in recent decades in severity and frequency.

The Ranking Member talked about the increasing severity and frequency of storms related to climate change, and while I appreciate he is welcome to his own opinions, however, he is not welcome to his own facts.

I have some concerns about this piece of legislation, and so I am going to be looking very keenly at the amendments.

We want the results. Show me some results to any of this.

Submissions for the Record by Hon. Scott Perry.

I think most people in America want to maintain their medical sovereignty, the individual medical sovereignty that we all enjoy.

This problem started because NATO failed to meet its 2-percent obligation.

I a hundred percent agree that we have to have more command and control and more monitoring and evaluation of foreign assistance.

I mean, we have got technology. I bet if we told Amazon or Mastercard to track every single one of these things... somehow the Federal Government cannot find its rear end with both hands.

Look, it is hard to go back to your constituents who get up in the morning, pack a lunch, and head off to work to earn money to pay their bills, which they cannot afford right now, and then this Administration, the Biden Administration…

That's not working. The Chinese gave us lip service, and we delisted this organization that is hiding the fact that they're using the Uyghur for genetic experimentation.

There is no American--left, right, or center--listening to this list who says: Sign me up to support that.
