The Public Record
American politician
Reclaiming my time, we would be happy to have our staffs work together on that. Again, just hearing about this amendment at this time, it is not realistic to say we are going to guarantee a solution, but I think that the history that we…
Mr. Chairman, I would thank the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Goodlatte) for making some excellent points in opposition to this amendment. He is absolutely correct. Over $872 million is the figure that we are under last year's budget. We…
The Secretary could access that, that is correct. If the Secretary or we in this room agreed in a bipartisan way that it was not enough, we could come back and deal with that at the appropriate time.
The gentleman is correct, there is $30 billion that the Secretary of Agriculture could access if one of these threats entered our country domestically.
Mr. Chairman, all of us, all of us want to see lower drug prices, and all of us are frustrated by the high price of drugs. It does no good, though, to import these drugs if we cannot be guaranteed of their efficacy. In my hand I have three…
This is not something that, as the gentleman is presenting it to us today, we are hearing for the first time. The gentleman has done yeoman's work on bringing this issue to our attention; and we know it is a very serious problem. It is…
I know it is a very serious problem. The committee and this chairman are aware of the emergency conditions that exist in Utah and throughout the Great Basin region caused by the Mormon Crickets. The gentleman from Utah has my commitment to…
It is hard to speculate as to what the Department is going to do, but I can assure her that this is something that we are all concerned about. I know the gentlewoman from Ohio (Ms. Kaptur) has worked on this as well, along with the…
I am not aware of any such problems that have existed, not to create a premise on which to file any complaints. These are simply scare tactics and, as I have pointed out, targeted just against Mexico, nothing mentioned about Canada.
I would challenge any Member here who continues to pursue this action against Mexico, next time they speak about this issue, and the television camera is on them, I challenge them to look that camera in the eye and tell us that they are…
I am aware of that, because I know all of us are concerned about having the highest standards complied with by anyone who drives trucks in our country.
I am proud to represent Pecos, Texas, a community which hosts the world renowned rodeo every 4th of July week.
I encourage all of my colleagues to seek out and wear clothes made of mohair.
This hair was shipped to more than 10 countries around the world and provided a $12 million infusion into the state's economy.
Today the United States is the second-leading mohair producer in the world and more than 90 percent of that production is in Texas.
The mohair industry in Texas traces its roots back to 1849 with the arrival of a small flock of seven does and two bucks.
I strongly object to the motion being considered today and urge my colleagues to oppose it and vote no. Simply put, this congress has not had the opportunity to vote on stopping the automatic cost-of-living increase for Members of…
Now, what we have had is, we have had people lose their lives in California. When is it going to stop? What we are talking about here is human life. We are talking about human rights. In many cases, these folks who are thinking maybe…
There was a quote that said, it is a ``fly you can love.'' The point I am making here is that the folks that oppose the gentleman's bill and oppose what we are trying to do here are the same folks that are quoted as saying this maggot is a…
Politicians like Henry Bonilla
