I personally was very troubled by the number and the breadth of the issues that were revealed in those performance reports.

Your written testimony... is just, with all due respect, inaccurate.

I ask if you could comment on that.

Great education should not be dependent on family income.

I have grave concerns that the program... does not bring us closer to that goal.

I don't think that answers my question.

I am so proud to rise today as part of this wonderful, diverse, strong, and vibrant freshman class. As we mark the 100 first days of the 116th Congress, it has been a busy time, to say the least. In our first days of this 116th Congress, I…

It should not take one more breaking flood or wildfire or hurricane or drought to do what is right.

This amendment delays the effective date of the bill, wrongly uses China and Russia as excuses for inaction, and risks ceding global leadership on this issue.

We can seize those opportunities by voting in favor of H.R. 9 today.

The United States abandoning the Paris Agreement is nothing short of a surrender.

Anything short of passing H.R. 9 is a signal to our allies that we are unreliable.

I thank the gentlewoman from Pennsylvania for yielding. I rise in support of this amendment, which is being sponsored by my colleague and friend from Pennsylvania. The Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act, VAWA, responds to our…

what I would really like to see is some sort of directive to our military operations that climate change is something that we need the military to proactively work on.

I am somewhat gratified by the fact that it seems that we have bipartisan consensus that surprise billing really is a genuine problem.

I have just never found that competition causes any sort of clarity when it comes to medical charges.

I think the patients are the innocents. And so, there is an innocent party here.

I am one of those people that believes that the American military is uniquely qualified and capable of working on real climate solutions.

This amendment eliminates clarity. It simply replaces it with the words ``bona fide,'' with no additional definition or guidance, thereby ensuring that this defense will continue to be misunderstood, misused, and incorrectly applied by the…

I am opposed to all caps on attorney's fees in this type of case. The only criteria for the amount of attorney's fees charged should be reasonableness in the context of the case itself. I have spent more than 30 years in courtrooms, most…

Don't be mistaken. This amendment is a clear attempt to undermine the fundamental objectives of the Paycheck Fairness Act, which are to engender pay disparity by, in part, further clarifying congressional intent so that courts can no…

I think it is my colleague from Alabama who is confused about the wording of this text. His amendment would specifically eliminate the wording that I just read into the Record. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
