Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I rise today in support of H.R. 1865, a bill that will provide funding for the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education; Agriculture; Energy and Water; Interior; the Legislative Branch; Military Construction and the Veterans Administration; State and Foreign Operations; and Transportation and Housing. This package protects the sanctity of life and provides vital funding to promote the health and well-being of all Americans. In particular, the bill maintains all prior year pro-life protections and secures the largest pro-life victory in a generation by maintaining the Trump administration's Title X Family Planning regulations. It provides funding to the National Institutes of Health to continue their groundbreaking research in the areas of Alzheimer's disease and cancer research, including childhood cancers. It combats the opioid and methamphetamine epidemic in this country by providing funds for prevention, treatment, recovery, and research into alternative therapies for pain management. The bill also includes key provisions to help Americans in rural areas, such as significant funding for broadband programs; support for those farmers and ranchers around the country severely affected by hurricanes, floods, drought, and other national disasters in 2018 and 2019; and promotes economic growth and opportunity through loans for housing, utilities, and businesses.…”
