The Public Record
I rise to reserve a point of order against the amendment. The Acting CHAIRMAN. The gentleman's point of order is reserved. Pursuant to the order of the House of today, the gentleman from California (Mr. Baca) and a Member opposed each will…
I would be happy to do that. I have a tremendous amount of respect for the gentleman. There have been many unrelated issues that we have worked on together in the past, and we would be happy to do that.
to begin the position of those opposed, I yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro). Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong opposition to the gentleman's amendment and want to say a few words about the work…
once again, just to comment on how many prudent recommendations were made to put this bill together and it has been a very good product that we have come to the floor with today, and we hope that all Members would support it without any…
the gentleman is presenting a good amendment, and I would just like to inform the gentleman we would be happy to accept the gentleman's amendment if he would like to move it to a vote.
we have worked on this language, and I have corrected some problems we had with it. And we are happy to accept the language if the gentleman will accept our support for this.
I reserve the point of order and claim time in opposition to the amendment. The Acting CHAIRMAN. The gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5 minutes.
historically when Members target projects in this body, everybody understands the game. When you talk about tomatoes and aquaculture and programs that have names that do not immediately jump out to people with a true purpose, the press…
once again, it appears that the author of the amendment is seeking to acknowledge some frustration and to quote one of his lines here, I do not know what else to do. Again, I would offer advice to not just this Member but any Member that…
I cannot advocate or endorse a particular group's choice for the position. That is not my role.
reclaiming my time, I would further emphasize CCC funds could be used if they are needed to address this. So we feel like, again, we are doing all we can to address this issue at this time. That is why I am opposing the amendment. The…
I would like claim time in opposition, even though I am not opposed. The Acting CHAIRMAN. Without objection, the gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5 minutes. There was no objection.
Yes, because until they can develop the rules, regulations and how it is going to work, there is nothing they can spend money the money on.
again just for clarification, I would ask unanimous consent that the amendment be read so we understand which amendment is before us. The Acting CHAIRMAN. Without objection, the Clerk will read the amendment. There was no objection. The…
At this time I do not. Ms. DeLAURO. Neither do we. With that, my comment is I think that we will just proceed to the amendments, and I hope that with that process we can make the bill better. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my…
Let me just first compliment the gentleman from Texas for his hard work on this issue. This school should erect a statue in his honor for all of the effort that he has put in this tirelessly for the last few weeks. The gentleman is…
the gentleman presents a good amendment, and we will be happy to offer support for him if the gentleman can submit his remarks and move the amendment to a vote.
before the gentleman begins, I ask unanimous consent that the amendment be read, and the reason I am doing this is because we are not sure which amendment we are addressing and in what order. The Acting CHAIRMAN. Without objection, the…
I will be very brief. The gentleman is sincere in his effort in bringing this amendment forward year after year after year, and the majority of House opposes it year after year after year; and once again we oppose it today. Mr. Chairman, I…
Mr. Thornberry makes absolutely clear that this is a situation we need to deal with. While there are tragedies that continue in the gulf states and much of the money being debated in this appropriations bill is going for a much-needed…
pursuant to House Resolution 520, I call up the conference report on the bill (H.R. 2744) making appropriations for Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30…
I know the gentleman is going to speak on his amendment, but I just want to let the gentlemen know that we are happy to accept the amendment and move forward with the vote as soon as he would like. The Acting CHAIRMAN. Pursuant to the…
absolutely. Let me point out that the gentleman from Kansas is not only working hard on this particular issue, but he is a key player on agricultural issues that we deal with on a daily basis here in Washington. I am not only on this…
I yield for as much time as he may consume to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Goodlatte), chairman of the authorizing committee.
Politicians like Henry Bonilla
