I ask that all Members support this bill, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Murphy) that the House suspend the rules and pass the…

On rollcall No. 555, I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea.'' ____________________

Remember back in school when your math teacher expected you to show your work when solving a problem? It made sense. A number on a page, even if it was the correct answer, didn't suffice because your teacher wanted you to demonstrate you…

what concerns me here and the reason why we need to even look at this law is, Department of Energy is still not admitting problems

families in this country have been funding OPEC to the tune of a $127 billion trade deficit

I have never doubted my friends on the other side of the aisle's compassion or sincerity, but have always believed there was a better way of handling these health care costs to make sure that we all get the health care we need and the…

Last week, we received some unemployment numbers, or employment numbers, of 80,000 new jobs. It was a bleak statistic telling us that now we were in our 41st straight week where unemployment was above 8 percent. Of course, the real…

On rollcall No. 392, I was present but the voting machine did not record my vote. Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye.'' Stated against:

What good are life-saving drugs if you can't afford them? That's why real reform of the Nation's health care system begins with promoting quality and affordability. I am excited this legislation is moving forward because the FDA will…

Twenty percent of the energy generated by coal plants will be lost, which will result in an increase of home and factory electric bills by 30 to 40 percent.

And the estimates are we will lose between 160- to 200,000 jobs per year.

In this Nation, where we have an abundance of coal and also natural gas, instead of following through on the promise of clean coal and natural gas, this administration has not only abandoned that promise, but blocked it.

New regulations are not cleaning up coal plants but shutting them down.

When President Obama was elected, and I remember--I recall quite clearly, in his 2011 State of the Union address, he talked about his emphasis on clean coal.

I want to thank the chairman and Ranking Member Price for their hard work in writing a bill that keeps American families safe and prioritizes border and immigration law enforcement in a very tough budget environment. In this bill, the…

I thank the chairman. This year a typical senior will spend 15 percent of their household income on health care, including $620 plus on prescriptions. But that sum would be much higher if there were no FDA-approved generic pharmaceuticals…

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 subtitle B of title XXVII, add the following new section (and make such conforming changes to…

I have one additional question for the gentleman. In fairness here, will you be bringing forward a bill to the House from the committee that's truly going to reform farm subsidies, produce savings, and result in deficit reduction?

I would like to ask the gentleman from Oklahoma if he could respond to the notion: All of us want to protect the social safety nets for the truly needy, but we also want to stop abuses within the system that take money from those programs…

Israel is our friend and our ally. Israel is an island of democracy that supports freedom and religious tolerance. It is where a Christian church, a mosque, and a synagogue will peacefully exist on the same street. In neighboring…

greed has trumped the health of the horse, the safety of the jockey, the strength of the breed, and the integrity of the sport.

For two Congresses I have been a strong supporter and cosponsor of our fellow Energy and Commerce member, Representative Gonzalez, the American Fuel Protect Act, H.R. 523.

H.R. 4345 would preempt and eliminate the vast majority of these requirements, leaving States and municipalities and property owners without protection.

I have serious concerns about the approach H.R. 4345 takes and do not think this bill appropriately addresses the problems.

Now, I should disclose an important generic drug manufacturer, Mylan, is headquartered in my district, and we want to make sure that any inspections they have to go through are equivalent to what takes place overseas.
