I think there are ways we can address that and we should. That is what we need to thoughtfully do.

I sought counsel from Ethics and I said, 'Alright, I am about to rip into these guys and I hold equity in this pipeline company that I had before I ran for Congress.'

This can't be one of those things that we just kind of walk along and avoid it.

The question seems to be about we have nothing allegedly in the cupboard, nothing to offer. I think there is plenty to offer. How about stop spending money we don't have? How about stop dumping trillions of dollars into the economy…

May I inquire as to how much time is remaining? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Texas has 1\1/2\ minutes remaining.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 3, beginning on line 11, strike ``, but'' and all that follows through ``Tribe'' on line 24. The…

I appreciate my colleague's remarks about the Texas Rangers. They are such an important organization in the world of law enforcement. I say that as someone who served in the Office of the Attorney General of Texas as the first assistant…

I am proud to rise here on the floor of the United States House of Representatives as we celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Texas Rangers, Texas' oldest law enforcement agency. I am proud to represent a number of Rangers personally. I…

I appreciate the gentleman from Arizona being down here talking about the trajectory this Nation finds itself on with respect to all spending, but in particular mandatory spending as we call it, and the need for all of us to get serious…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I am glad to have him on the Rules Committee and glad to serve with him. Some of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have been asking what have we been doing over the last few weeks? Well, I…

Some of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have been spending some time today misleading the American people, telling untruths about legislation that I have put forward, H.R. 29.

I would note that last week, for the first time in 7 years, we were able to offer amendments on the floor of this body with a modified open rule, and for the first time in 10 years, we were able to amend a bill other than an appropriations…

The legislation to be clear to all is legislation that reiterates existing law.

I appreciate the comments from the gentleman from Arizona. As he so often does, in outlining the extent to which we have significant fiscal challenges that could be met with the kinds of reforms that we don't often talk about: the need to…

Now we want to know the truth. Not the origins, but the truth. This committee is critically important, and we are going to find the truth. We are going to defend the American people against the weaponization of government. Mr. McGOVERN…

I listened with interest to my colleague from Texas as she recounted some of the realities when talking about school boards. Well, I have come to know Scott Smith of Loudoun County. I consider him a friend. I have been talking to him since…

I guess the President of the United States was able to find the southern border on a map. It took him 2 years to finally get down to the southern border, and what happens? Everybody just goes around and cleans up everything that is going…

I thank my friend from Oklahoma (Mr. Cole) for yielding. I am delighted to be down here on the floor of the House of Representatives in a Republican majority, and I am delighted to be talking about a rules package crafted by that…

We think we're almost there.

He believes he can bring along 10 members as long as these negotiations pan out.

Can the Speaker advise whether there is a physical quorum present as required under the Constitution and whether there is any recourse for any Member under our rules to challenge a ruling that there is a quorum? The SPEAKER pro tempore…

I thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania for yielding. I can't help but be amused when the gentleman from Massachusetts says that we refused to come to the table. As if the gentlewoman who will soon be the chair of the Appropriations…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 193, nays 227, not voting 11, as follows: [Roll No. 548] YEAS--193 Aderholt Allen Amodei Armstrong Arrington…
