In response to your question, I think it is in order, Mr. Dicks. I know that I, Mr. Honda, and you as well, Mr. Dicks, could strike the last word and make a comment or two if you'd like. Mr. Honda might want to say a word.

I claim the time in opposition. The CHAIR. The gentleman from Florida is recognized for 5 minutes.

I want to urge my colleagues to vote against this amendment. One of the reasons we have committee structure is so that the members of the subcommittee that I chair--and Mr. Honda is the ranking member. As I said earlier, we sit down. We…

I think we all look forward to working together to not only meet some of these tough budget choices but also to understand what kind of impact it is going to have on our military today.

I thank the chairman for yielding the time, and I thank him for his leadership. I urge all of my colleagues to support this conference report because I think it takes another step to change this culture of spending that we've had in this…

Today is the first day of Crohn's and Colitis Awareness Week. Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are diseases that collectively are known as inflammatory bowel disease. They are painful; they are incurable; they attack the digestive…

I just wanted to make my colleagues aware of some legislation that I filed this week, along with 28 original cosponsors, Democrats and Republicans. The legislation was filed in the Senate, as well, so it's a bipartisan, bicameral effort…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. On behalf of the Republican participants, I want to congratulate Captain Yarmuth and his team for their outstanding play and for their narrow victory, and I want to thank all the members of the…

I thank the gentleman for yielding the time. I just want to urge my colleagues to vote in favor of this continuing resolution. This body has been doing a lot of things to try to get the economy moving again, to try to put people back to…

Reclaiming my time, that's an interesting question too. I appreciate that question. And that $30 million is there to use to make sure that we protect the health and safety of people in our buildings here. So I understand it won't cost any…

Well, reclaiming my time, if this was simply a question of education, I hope the gentleman has been working diligently for the past few years as hard as he worked for the last 24 hours to make people aware and to crank this thing back up…

I appreciate very much the gentleman from New Jersey's passion for this program. He mentioned that they turned out the lights in 1996, some 15 years ago, and I can't help but wonder why the lights haven't been turned on in the last 15…

I would just simply say, as I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this, again, I thank the gentleman for bringing it to our attention. It seems strange that it hasn't been funded for the last 15 years. I think this is not the year to…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from New Jersey will be postponed.

I would like to yield 1 minute to the ranking member of the Legislative Branch Subcommittee, the gentleman from California (Mr. Honda).

I claim time in opposition. The CHAIR. The gentleman from Florida is recognized for 5 minutes.

I demand a recorded vote. The CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Indiana will be postponed. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 10 printed in House Report…

I urge a ``no'' vote, and I yield back the balance of my time. The CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Flake). The amendment was rejected. Amendment No. 11 Offered by Mr. Flake The CHAIR…

I'm going to yield some time to Mr. Honda, but I just can't help but realize that you can't mail any mass mailings, whether they're black and white, whether they're four color, eight color, ten color. So I appreciate what the gentleman is…

This is similar to the last amendment. Members have an MRA. They can spend the money as long as it is under the rules of the House. They can hire staff. They can travel back and forth to their districts, and they can send out letters. And…

In closing, it was pointed out that technologies have advanced, and I think the House has stayed current. In 2009, the rules were modified to make sure that these franking rules, these rules that govern communication, apply to the Internet…

I yield myself such time as I may consume. What are we going to do about three-color mailers? How about two- color mailers? I appreciate what the gentleman is trying to do, and we have rules and regulations in this House, but I don't think…

I just want to say that I think that's a good amendment. And I think some of the people that are concerned about the reduction in the MRA, then they won't have to worry about the extra $1,000 that they were going to spend leasing a car…

I'm just trying to understand. I know you've got the two light bulbs there. Now, the one on the right, that's the one that's got mercury in it.

I don't necessarily oppose the amendment. In fact, I think it's a good amendment. But I just want to mention a couple of things. I thank the gentleman from Minnesota for bringing the amendment before us. We are trying to save money…
