On the bill? So I can't strike it on the amendment? Then I will rise to claim time in opposition. The CHAIR. The gentleman from Florida is recognized for 5 minutes.

I think if you read it carefully, the chairman and the ranking member, under the rule, can move to strike the last word. The CHAIR. On the bill but not on an amendment.

I would like to yield 1 minute to the distinguished ranking member of the subcommittee, Mr. Honda from California.

I yield myself such time as I might consume and simply to say that the subcommittee looked at this. We have concerns. We reduced spending by 16 percent. If you want to have any more significant savings, you are going to have to change the…

I thank the gentleman for bringing all of these issues to our attention; but I want to direct him to United States Code, title 44, which basically directs the Government Printing Office to do the things that they do. So, if the gentleman…

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 Georgia (Mr. Broun). The question was taken; and the Chair announced that the noes appeared to have it.

I yield myself 1 minute. Mr. Chairman, we just had an amendment that reduced the funding by $630,000. Now we have an amendment that will reduce it by 26 percent. I would suggest that that is a little bit extreme. We as a subcommittee…

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

I think that's a good amendment, and we have no objection. We accept the amendment.

I just want to say to the gentleman that we are all concerned about security upgrades, and we accept the amendment.

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Chairman and ladies and gentlemen of the House, this is the funding bill for the Subcommittee on the Legislative Branch of the Appropriations Committee for 2012. Everybody knows that we are in…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Let the record reflect that's a small trophy that you just held up. But I certainly want to congratulate the Democratic team. It was a great day to make some friends among the serving Members. It was…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Speaker, let me just remind my colleagues that when we vote ``yes'' on this resolution, we will be able to say that we have led by example. We were told that we should take the budget-cutting knife…

I thank the chairman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise to encourage my colleagues to vote in favor of this continuing resolution, for two reasons. Number one, it keeps us on the path to put the brakes on this runaway spending that has gone…

This is a giant step forward in stopping the culture of spending that has gone on here in this town for a long time and begins a culture of savings. In fact, I think, when times are tough, leaders ought to lead. And so we can help save…

I plan to vote to repeal this health care law and replace it with some commonsense, workable solutions. Why? Because I've been listening to my constituents--listening to what they have to say, what they ask for. I can tell you they are not…

I rise in strong support of this resolution. What does it do? You have heard quite simply that it saves the American taxpayers millions of dollars. How does it do it? Quite simply, it says we are going to spend less money in this House…

I rise today to urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this rule. I want to make it clear that I'm very much in favor of the underlying legislation, but this legislation is being brought to us today under a rule that will restrict our…

First let me just say that I rise in support of this appropriations bill. It's the first appropriations bill that we will bring to the floor today, and I think it's an excellent bill. I would like to start by thanking Chairman Edwards, not…

I just want to also commend the gentleman for offering this amendment. I think so often we have resources that are available like this that sometimes our veterans are not aware of. I think we've made great strides in dealing with this. We…

I just wanted to say that I think this is a wonderful program. I'm a little bit aware of that because in my home district in Jacksonville, Florida, there's an organization called the Wounded Warriors, and they work in conjunction with this…

I would just point out to the gentlewoman that there is $1.166 billion for construction. That is $15 million above the request. I can appreciate that the gentlewoman would like to spend even more and that she, apparently, is not trying to…

Mr. Edwards, I appreciate the concerns that have been raised here, and I think, as you point out, this is a very important subject, very worthwhile. And to the question of where the money comes from, those minor construction projects, I…

The argument has been made by my colleagues on the other side of the aisle that the government must take over our health care system to help control costs. Against the will of the American people and in the dark of the night later on this…

The National Forest Service does a fantastic job of managing our Nation's natural resources. They manage them in Florida as well as all across the Nation, and they deserve to have the tools that they need to give them the flexibility to…
