I also want to say a few remarks quickly about my friend and former boss, and the former Governor of the State of Texas, Rick Perry. He is going to be ending his service as the Secretary of Energy, I believe at the end of this month. He is…
I would make only one other point in my remaining 20 seconds. I heard the distinguished majority leader talking about the whistleblower. We are in the middle of the Nation focusing on what the House of Representatives is doing, and the…
I would notice that there is a certain smell here of jet fumes; that this Chamber is completely empty, here, July 25, my colleagues--well, it is empty for the most part. My colleagues are headed off to the airport to fly home; fly home for…
I thank the gentleman for his leadership tonight in bringing an opportunity for us to speak on the floor of the House of Representatives on an issue that is front and center for most of the American people. It is, by far, the number one…

I thank the gentleman from South Carolina for yielding. In 2016, HUD published a final rule, the Equal Access in Accordance with an Individual's Gender Identity in Community Planning and Development Programs rule requiring Community…
I want to thank the gentleman from South Carolina for yielding, and I want to thank the gentlewoman from Missouri for her comments. I can't expound upon her eloquent comments much more or the gentleman from South Carolina about the…
I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I appreciate his working with me on this important issue. I do want to say that I appreciate the floor staff and staff in the Parliamentarian's Office over the last few days. Obviously, we have had…
