As my colleagues have heard me repeatedly say, there is nothing that women hate more than a peeping Tom.

As you can see, we have quite a variety of issues that we are talking about today. Whether it is the President's executive amnesty and overreach, the overreach of the DHS, or the veto of the Keystone pipeline, people are concerned about…

Title II of the Communications Act is the regulatory nuclear option. It will stifle private-sector investment in networks by creating regulatory uncertainty and lead to courtroom challenges.

Our constituents are really concerned about this issue. They don't think the Internet is broken and they don't understand why the FCC would be trying to step in.

I am one of those that believes the Internet is a bright spot in today's economy. It is not broken, and it does not need the FCC's help in order to be effective.

10 million adults in the U.S. had a serious mental illness during 2013. That should not be lost on us.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Speaker, talk about fantasy. I think that it finds its root in this comment from Jonathan Gruber, who was the architect of ObamaCare: If you had a law which said that healthy people are going to pay and sick…

This is far too serious an issue to be treated as a political football. People still die from measles.

I did have a couple of questions on H.R. 471, which is the Ensuring Patient Access and Effective Drug Enforcement Act.

I want to thank you all for being here, especially Dr. Enderson, my fellow Tennessean, and we are delighted to have him here and with us today.

I am so pleased to come to the floor at the end of the Special Order hour that Mrs. Noem and Mrs. Wagner have organized to join my colleagues in talking about the bills that are before us. Human trafficking is an issue that affects every…

I withdraw my point of order, and I claim the time in opposition to the motion. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The reservation is withdrawn. The gentlewoman from Tennessee is recognized for 5 minutes.

I want to thank the gentlewoman from North Carolina for her diligence and efforts on this issue. Madam Speaker, I think we all are pleased to have so many of our constituents in town today who are supporting life and supporting that…

What it will do is apply that to ObamaCare, the Affordable Care Act. Now the reason it is imperative, the President promised on numerous occasions, Madam Speaker, that there would be no taxpayer dollars, which become Federal funds, used…

We have heard a lot of charges and accusations that were made by some of my colleagues as they have chosen to describe the bill before us today, H.R. 7, so I want to be clear about what the bill before us does do and does accomplish. This…

How much time is remaining on each side? The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Tennessee has 2 minutes remaining. The gentleman from Michigan's time has expired.

Thank you, Madam Chairman. I yield myself such time as I may consume. Let's talk about a couple of these things. The Democrats like to say, Madam Chairman, that this is radical. Let me ask you a question, let me ask my colleagues a…

At this time, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Marino), who is one of our Members who had truly a significant career as a prosecutor before coming to this Chamber.

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 the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. ___. (a) No funds, resources or…

I want to thank the chairman from Kentucky for his tenacious work on this issue. This is the 10th time this has come to the floor and he has been diligent and has continued to push it, and we thank him for those efforts. I have to tell…

I am rising today in support of H.R. 39. This is a bill I filed yesterday, and it calls for a 1 percent across-the-board spending reduction for all discretionary spending except for Homeland Security, Defense, and Veterans Affairs. That is…

The people who are going to be harmed the most by the anti-GMO activist movement are those who can least fight against it.

And I thank our witnesses for being willing to answer these questions, because we are trying to get to the root cause of this.

this is something we have got to get a handle on, and I think you probably realize from listening to our questions, our constituents are very frustrated with the way that much of this has been approached

that flexibility is going to be important going forward, and it is something Congress is going to hold you accountable for.
