Those gentlemen at the Alamo, who gave their last full measure of devotion, did it for an idea. Remember what they were doing, right? They were seeking separation from the federal government of Mexico and ultimately did so. A few weeks…

I appreciate my friend for joining me. We came here tonight to celebrate what those men sacrificed for the State of Texas but for our country and the men like them and the women like them over our history. I hope we will do better. We owe…

It happened right here when all but 83 Republicans voted for it. I think 132 Republicans voted for it. On the Democratic side of the aisle, I think it was 207 to 2 voted to continue to spend at higher levels, racking up more debt and more…

I thank the gentlewoman from Indiana for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I would note, as a point of clarification, the legislation on the floor, there are two main parts. The first part that the gentleman from Massachusetts was referring to did…

Here we are again, kicking the can down the road and for other purposes, buying more time so that we can spend more money that we don't have at a time when we are going to eclipse more interest and more spending on interest than our…

May I inquire as to the time remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas has 1 minute remaining. The gentlewoman from Texas has 11\1/2\ minutes remaining.

I am prepared to close, and I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, to my colleagues on either side of the aisle, we have a fundamental responsibility under the Constitution of the United States to use the power of the purse to…

Respecting my friend from Texas, I would say, where were my Democratic colleagues when we were passing H.R. 2, which would actually do the job of securing the border? It is hard for me to take seriously the claims of my Democratic…

I am. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair would inquire whether the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro) is opposed to the motion. Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Speaker, no. The SPEAKER pro tempore. As such, the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Roy)…

I first recognize and commend someone who has been working in my office most recently as director of operations, Corinne Schillizzi, who is unfortunately going to be leaving us after tomorrow, her last day here in the office, but she has…

I get no great joy being on the floor of the House of Representatives and talking about something as important and solemn as the removal of a Secretary of one of our Departments, particularly one as important as the Department that is in…

I appreciate the remarks of the gentleman talking about the state of affairs. We disagree on a number of policies but might actually share some sentiment. I, too, believe that we have significant issues we need to deal with right now with…

The Wall Street Journal editorial last week said about this bill: ``Up to $1,600 of the $2,000 credit is refundable, and the bipartisan bill would make $2,000 refundable by 2025.'' Now, in fairness, ``A $1,400 limit was tethered to…

May I inquire how much time is remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas has 12 minutes remaining.

May I inquire as to the time remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas has 6 minutes remaining.

I claim the time in actual opposition to the bill. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman from Massachusetts opposed to the bill?

May I inquire how much time remains. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas has 1\3/4\ minutes remaining.

I reiterate my appreciation to my friend, the chairman, and all those who worked on this bill in the Ways and Means Committee. There are a lot of good provisions in this bill, many of which I support. There are good provisions in there to…

that passing of a continuing resolution, a full year CR that would basically come in somewhere around the $1.564 trillion level, roughly, that that would be significantly lower than the $1.59 trillion cap in the FRA.

I thank my friend from Texas for his service. We will be missing him next Congress, but we still have some more time and work to do together. My colleagues on the other side of the aisle don't want to talk about the bills that are sitting…

literally, we will save the American people $100 billion by adhering to law that was enacted, signed by the President of the United States.

a continuing resolution passed right now, a full year continuing resolution, worded appropriately, that talks about it being a full year appropriation, would save the American people about, give or take, $100 billion.

the President of the United States is failing to fulfill his duty to defend our country, to defend the borders of the United States, as required by the Constitution.

Because of course the Governor of Texas can deal with it if the laws of Texas are being violated, and the people that the Governor is supposed to represent are entitled to defend them.

I thank the gentleman from Arizona for yielding to me. I, too, wish our friend from Ohio well in his future endeavors and appreciated serving with him in the Chamber and appreciate the same sacrifices with respect to our family, our…
