Bill Lee

I believe that our service members and the support of the family members make our military great, and it is our responsibility to make sure that they are taken care of.

Let me just say that the AMA has stated very clearly that this bill compromises a doctor's ability to provide medical treatment in the best interest of the patient. Members of Congress have no right to interfere in health care decisions of…

Thank you for the additional time. This is cynical. It is anti-immigrant. We should defeat this rule, and we should defeat the underlying legislation if these poison pill amendments are adopted.

Sadly, this bill is nothing more than the latest Republican attack on the Affordable Care Act and would result in an estimated 1 million people losing access to their health care coverage. This is unacceptable. We should be in the business…

Thank you--muchas gracias. I thank the gentleman from Colorado for that very succinct and clear statement and for your continuing leadership for a policy that really is in the United States' best interest. So thank you again. I now yield…

I now yield to someone who has been very interested in and a tremendous leader on this whole issue of trade and ending the embargo, the gentleman from Colorado, Congressman Jared Polis. Thank you again.

I want to thank the gentleman from New York for his very comprehensive statement and overview, but also for his tremendous leadership and key policy initiatives on the Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere; and as a member of the Foreign…

I thank the gentlewoman for laying out just really a glimpse of the possibilities, and again, thank you for your leadership. Now I would like to yield to Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee from Texas, who has been a longtime supporter and…

I now yield to the gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Castor), who represents Tampa and has certainly been a bold leader and understands clearly the economic benefits in her district as they relate to ending the embargo.

My understanding is that Senator Coburn's objection is based on the lack of a pay-for in this proposal. There is, however, an amendment that has been introduced by Senator Vitter that addresses this concern and fills this gap. Mr…

Yes, 900,000 people lifted out of poverty. How about Job Corps?

Poverty is far too prevalent in the United States. Congress and the administration should work together to implement policies, interagency efforts, and support proven anti-poverty programs that reduce the existence of poverty and the…

I want to ask you--and I was glad to see MCC's breakdown as it relates to the involvement of women-owned, minority-owned companies.

We would like to have a formal response to our letter.

I want to commend the President and Secretary for this meeting.

I have been very involved on African issues since the 1970s.

We have, I think, 32 States, 2 territories which have criminalization laws on the books.

This is not just about LGBT; it is about how you treat your people across the board.

It is really important to understand that history and where we are now.

Part of the issue is the void that has been left as a result of the lack of focus of the United States as it relates to Africa.

We must fully engage in the United Nations and the international community to ensure a safer world.

I would like to get a handle on why you are proposing to cut the TB budget, particularly in light of the strong relationship between HIV and AIDS and TB.

What many of us don't agree with is an embargo against countries like Cuba, 90 miles away.

I am equally as committed to the promotion of human rights everywhere in the world, just as my colleagues are.

Well, I think they did reveal that. It may not-- okay.
