I am standing in lieu of the ranking member Mr. Larsen, who can't be here, and he asked me to do this as I am the ranking member on the Subcommittee on Aviation, which this bill came out of. I was here earlier today on a veterans' bill…

I am not going to ping-pong this back and forth. I yield back the balance of my time.

I urge a voice vote on this measure, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I will yield back the balance of my time and not ask Mr. Graves who won the Heisman Trophy because he knows well-- the LSU quarterback. New and persistent challenges facing the U.S. aviation system make clear that the status quo is…

It is important that the old name not carry over. The FBI needs to be respected as an agency that does carry out its duties of being fair and just in administering justice.

J. Edgar Hoover did not uphold the laws of this Nation, the U.S. Constitution, or the standard of justice in many instances.

I felt there was great discrimination in the decision to take the headquarters--to consolidate in Nashville.

I introduced H.R. 1175 this year, and I have introduced a similar bill for many years, which would redesignate the J. Edgar Hoover Federal Building as the Federal Bureau of Investigation building.

It is absolutely inappropriate that our Nation's leading Federal law enforcement agency building still be named in his honor.

Director Hoover symbolized the dangers of the weaponization of the Federal Government.

They will be made to pay.

Well, I do not think any one of us on the panel have--and we probably should have a better perspective on this than you might, but I am going to ask you the question. That is the authority I have, to ask the question. Why in the hell are…

We need to get the money there as quickly as possible, and continue the war, and supply the Ukrainians with the military that they need to win this war.

That is why I introduced the Rebuilding Economic Prosperity and Opportunity for Ukrainians Act.

I appreciate the gentleman yielding me time. Mr. Speaker, I don't do a lot of these, but when Congressman Bishop asked me to come to be recognized and talk about Rosalynn Carter, I had no choice but to say yes. She was a marvelous woman, a…

We are here to provide that leadership.

Russia is a horrible representative of the international community and where the international community stands in 2023 and 2024.

It would be a cruel irony to deny Ukraine the lifesaving benefit of these assets by invoking precedents for Russia's sovereignty and property rights when Russia is blatantly violating Ukraine's basic right to even exist.

War criminal Putin has committed murderous atrocities against Ukrainians, including torture, systematic rape, and indiscriminate bombing of civilians.

Speaker Mike Johnson is correct: Putin will not stop in Ukraine and threatens, really, the security of all of Europe.

I am grateful to be an original co-sponsor of the REPO--R-E-P-O--Act, which would enable the president to confiscate Russian sovereign assets.

I think I know the answer, but did not Russia confiscate some assets of American companies--like airplanes and things like that?

What Putin is doing in destroying the country of Ukraine is an attempt to genocide.

The question is not whether Russia must pay. The question is when.

This really is a simple process, a simple matter. Russia broke it, they ought to pay for it.
