I'm there. Thank you.

I want to remind everyone, in light of the debate that we have had today here on the floor, that this bill is extremely bipartisan. It is supported by tribes all across the Nation. It is something that they have been asking us for. In…

It can be a critical tool for punishing Iran's behavior.

I would firmly believe from what we have seen in Iran's previous behavior and their behavior today is that certainly concessions do not work to change their behaviors.

I don't understand why the President hasn't clarified for us exactly what his intentions are.

We know that Iran endangers Americans, abroad and here at home, and that their actions have been to spend billions of dollars to fund terrorism over the years.

I believe that a lot of the people in South Dakota face and utilize programs, but yet it is not necessarily lifting them out of the programs and getting the results that we truly do need.

I think it is critical that we do not just have this hearing and talk about this.

I have visited many, many of the rural hospitals in South Dakota.

I represent South Dakota. And I have the entire State. So there is not much in South Dakota that isn't rural and doesn't face a lot of the challenges that you all have been discussing today.

Not necessarily something that Congress can make a decision on today.

if we have the training in those communities, if we have residencies available, that makes a world of difference.

What is your biggest challenge that Congress could immediately address that would be a relief to our rural community hospitals?

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to speak on an issue that has weighed very heavy on my heart; in fact, it has kept me awake at night for many nights. Two videos have recently come out showing senior Planned…

Today I rise to offer an amendment to prevent the Fish and Wildlife Service from closing fish hatcheries across the United States. I want to thank the chairman and his staff for all their dedication and for preventing the closure of these…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: limitation on use of funds to close or move fisheries…

One of the tenets of the American dream is that no matter what your circumstances are, if you work hard here in America, that you can succeed.

Instead of encouraging work and taking home higher pay, the programs can create disincentives to work.

I am concerned about that, especially being from a part of the country where we just don't have public transportation as an option.

I come from a part of the country that a lot of folks refer to as flyover country. I call it home.

I am very concerned about transportation funding, because it is necessary to have good roads and bridges all the way across the country to move commerce.

We do not want to hollow out the center of this country by forcing high costs on people that can't afford it.

South Dakota tells the true story of what the benefits of trade can bring. When we have a trade agreement with another country, we sell 11\1/2\ times more goods to that country than if there were no agreement in place. Trade has been and…

Consumers deserve greater access to information about where their meat comes from, which is why I have always believed Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) is a critical tool for American families and ranchers. I join many South Dakotans in…

Do you have any idea of the dollar amount change that that encompassed?
