John Culberson

I look forward to working with my colleague from Texas and with my colleague from Philadelphia on this matter as we move forward in the conference.

I claim the time in opposition, but I do not oppose the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5 minutes. There was no objection.

I look forward to working with you as we move forward in the process. I understand you are planning to withdraw the amendment.

I claim the time in opposition, although I am not supposed to the gentlewoman's amendment because it is a good amendment and I support it. The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5 minutes. There was…

We will work together. If we, as we say, find additional funds, we will do everything we can to help Orion.

Thank you, Mr. Babin. I want to assure you that as we work through this process in conference and the additional funding becomes available--and I do expect that as we move forward, if we have additional funding, we are going to make sure…

I claim the time in opposition, although I support the gentleman's amendment. The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5 minutes. There was no objection.

Well, that may be your opinion, sir, but we will not, and will not ever, afford constitutional rights or house foreign fighters captured on a foreign battlefield who have been killing the men and women of the Armed Forces of the United…

The gentlewoman has a good amendment, and I want to encourage Members to support it. I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Wisconsin (Ms. Moore). The…

I would be happy to split the time with the gentlewoman. I am claiming the time in opposition, although I do not oppose it. The gentleman still has some time remaining on his initial time. I will yield in just a moment, but I really think…

Thank you, Mr. Nadler, because the section we are dealing with is a prohibition against building a prison facility in the United States to house these people. So that is what the debate needs to be about. What you are attempting to strike…

I want to thank my colleague from Iowa for raising this important point, and the committee does expect NOAA to utilize the private sector for these services when they are available and cost effective and practicable. I deeply appreciate my…

At this time I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from West Virginia (Mr. Jenkins), my colleague and good friend from the committee.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. If I could also point out, actually, the ATF did the right thing here. I strenuously disagreed with the ammo ban and had a chance to meet with the head of the ATF, as I was the new chairman of the CJS…

I think the gentleman has a good amendment, and I would encourage the Members to support it. I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Connolly). The…

I have no additional speakers, and I reserve the balance of my time.

I want to point out the language Mr. Farr is attempting to strike. It reads: No funds made available to do business with the Cuban military or the intelligence services. The only thing standing between President Barack Obama's attempt to…

I want to assure my friend from Philadelphia, as we get down further into conference, that we have got priorities in the bill that we did not have enough money for, and we will work hard with you to try to find resources, but let's not…

I look forward to working with you, Dr. Price, and other members of the subcommittee and the full committee, as well as the Science, Space, and Technology Committee, to ensure that we protect the independence of the National Science…

I urge Members to support it. It is a good program and appreciate very much the gentleman bringing this to the floor today and urge Members to vote ``yes.'' I yield back the balance of my time. Mr. MacARTHUR. Mr. Chairman, I want to thank…

Reclaiming my time, I join my colleague in urging a ``no'' vote on this amendment, and will, again, work with my colleague in making sure the ATF continues to protect the Second Amendment rights of Americans. There is no greater power the…

I want to point out also that the amendment before us would cut 1 percent from eliminating the backlog of rape kits that are piling up in local police departments all over the country. We increased funding to eliminate that backlog of rape…

At this time, I yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Murphy), my good friend and colleague.

I agree completely with the gentleman that NOAA should work with the private sector when data is available. It is cost effective and can save the taxpayers money, and, in fact, that is why we included a statement on this in the committee…

Could the gentleman be more specific about what it is he is asking NOAA to do?
