I reserve the balance of my time. Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair will remind all persons in the gallery that they are here as guests of the House, and that any manifestation of approval or…

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I want to address one thing. This is not an ancient animosity. I don't think I'm quite that old. And I don't think you have to be Dick Tracy to figure out what this debate is about…

I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, I do think our colleagues across the aisle are missing the point on this. We are responsible for making certain that this fiscal house gets in order. This is just another of those steps…

I think that this is one of those things that's kind of what's wrong around here. Everybody says, Don't do this, don't do this; that's not much money, that's not much money. Mr. Speaker, it all adds up. And the American people have had it…

At this point I would like to yield 2 minutes to one of our new freshman Members, the gentleman from Arkansas (Mr. Crawford), who is a broadcaster and brings that expertise to this Chamber.

I ask that all Members be given 5 legislative days within which to revise and extend their remarks on the legislation and to insert extraneous material on the bill. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the…

At this time, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Lamborn), the author of the legislation.

I want to clear up what I think are probably a couple of misunderstandings that my colleagues have across the aisle. One of the things I think it's important for everyone in this Chamber to realize, and I know some want to make fun of the…

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This will be a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 228, noes 192, answered ``present'' 1, not voting 11, as follows…

At this time I yield 1 minute to one of our freshman Members, the gentleman from the Florida Panhandle (Mr. Southerland). (Mr. SOUTHERLAND asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.)

The American people spoke loud and clear in November, and they have continued to speak and hold us accountable. Their message is clear: They are overtaxed, this government is overspent, and they have had enough of Washington passing bills…

I think it is important that we look at what this process of net neutrality is. I rise in support of the resolution that we're bringing to block this funding at the FCC from being used to implement it. Bear in mind--and I think it's…

This is not a debate about a vendetta; this is not a debate about Planned Parenthood; this is not a debate about something that is extreme. What this is tonight is a debate about our stewardship and our responsibility to the American…

I think our colleagues across the aisle are showing their displeasure. They think that it requires passing a law to create jobs and they want to tax and spend so that they can use the term ``invest.'' But I think the American people have…

firmly committed to eliminating excessive and unjustified burdens on small businesses.

In reference to the comments that were just made about women in the health care law, I would just remind the body one of our primary concerns with this legislation was the way in which women would be adversely impacted when you look at the…

I hope our service does credit to the men and women in uniform who have served us so very well. God bless Gabby Giffords, bless her staff, her constituents, the other innocent victims, bless this House and our great Nation.

I, like our colleagues, am rising in sorrow today to address the events that occurred in Arizona this past weekend. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of those victims, with their families, and with our colleague, Gabby Giffords. She…

Today we do begin a very important process, and it is a solid first step. And I stand to support this rule and to support repeal of this law, because we have on the books a law that doesn't improve the quality of health care. It will not…

I humbly rise today to welcome home the heroic soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division's Task Force Rakkasan after a year's deployment in Afghanistan. None defend that document and our freedom better than those deployed in harm's way. Many…

I treasure the role that our State played in ratifying the 19th Amendment. I will note that we still in Tennessee have not had a woman from our State serve in the Senate, in that body, nor have we had a female take the office of governor…

I think that it is important for us to realize what is happening here today, and I do oppose the legislation that the majority is bringing forward today. Today, we are being asked to raise taxes for 10 years in order to pay for Medicaid…

Tennessee's lesson to Congress is about, and includes, what went right, as well as what went wrong.

Tennesseans acted heroically during the flood and in the weeks and months following it, and they deserve all the praise that this Congress can bestow on them.

I applaud FEMA Administrator, Craig Fugate and FEMA Region IV for introducing the concept of early declaration.
