I thank my friend from Wisconsin for holding the floor down here with--I am quite confident--riveting expositions on any number of great things because my friend from Wisconsin is a great American, and I do appreciate the gentleman. It is…

I agree with my friend (Mr. Armstrong). If my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have no issues with the fact that they were amending these drafts and leaving it in draft form, we just want to give the certainty of saying to remove…

The amendment that I am offering here directs the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, FERC, as we refer to it, to withdraw two policy statements that massively expand the role of climate hysteria in certification of natural gas…

I lend my thanks to the gentlewoman from North Carolina for her stewardship of the legislation we are addressing this week. I am offering this amendment because I believe it is critically important for parents to have the ultimate say in…

I would just add a couple of responses to my friend, the gentleman from Virginia. Both of us are graduates of the University of Virginia. I am an extraordinarily proud graduate of Virginia, where Thomas Jefferson, frankly, helped frame the…
