Kay Granger

I was proud to support the Trump administration's vision for this new branch of our armed services.

After receiving several classified briefings, I am very concerned about the threats that China poses in space.

More now than ever our Nation faces competition and aggression on every front, and space is no different.

The Future Vertical Lift program is the first major aviation modernization program in years and the Army's number three modernization priority.

Our Nation faces unprecedented threats from near-peer adversaries, such as Russia and China, and continued harassment from the rogue regimes of North Korea and Iran.

SOUTHCOM is a region of vital importance that is often overlooked, but the threats you face are just as complex as those of other combatant commands.

I called it a fence by mistake, and the President took objection to that, so I call it a wall now.

Thank you very much. I would like to thank you, Chairman Kaptur and Ranking Member Simpson, for holding the hearing today.

It is with a heavy heart that I rise today in opposition to the continuing resolution. As an appropriator, I don't want to support anything short of full-year appropriations bills, especially when it comes to funding for our national…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, this 15- minute vote on the motion to concur will be followed by a 5-minute vote on agreeing to the Speaker's…

I thank the gentleman from Oklahoma for yielding. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' and defeat the previous question. The House should focus on our constitutional responsibility to fund the government and provide for our…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule 20, this 15- minute vote on passage of H.R. 4378 will be followed by a 5-minute vote on agreeing to the Speaker's…

If this unanimous consent request cannot be entertained, I urge the Speaker and the majority leader to immediately schedule the born-alive bill so that we can stand up and protect the sanctity of human life. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The…

I strongly support this accelerated 2024 goal and the Artemis program, appropriately named after Apollo's twin sister.

People that are supportive of this request have said to me, if we don't move now, China will own space, and who owns space owns the Earth and our technology in it.

The only way to protect both our national security and our economy is to dominate space and beat the Chinese and other near-peer adversaries.

Space, I believe, is the next high ground, and we have to take it.

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, this 15- minute vote on the motion to concur will be followed by a 5-minute vote on agreeing to the Speaker's approval of the…

Almost 2 months ago, the administration sounded the alarm about the crisis at our southwest border and told the Congress additional funds were badly needed. Now, 2 months later, we are here. We have this border supplemental appropriations…

I thank Mr. Graves for yielding. I appreciate the work that he and Chairman Quigley have done to craft a Financial Services and General Government bill for fiscal year 2020. The bill includes many priorities of Members on both sides of the…

As I said before, these bills were written to an unrealistic top-line funding number. We still do not have consensus on a budget agreement. Moving this second appropriations package today as-is is another wasted opportunity. The package…

And I rise today in opposition to H.R. 3055. Unfortunately, this appropriations bill and the bill that just passed the House are written to an unrealistic top-line funding number, $176 billion above the current budget caps. We still do not…

I was unable to attend votes due to circumstances beyond my control. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 249 and ``yea'' on rollcall No. 250. ____________________

I strongly support the supplemental appropriations bill and urge a ``yes'' vote, and I yield back the balance of my time.

To close, I would like to thank Chairwoman Lowey for her leadership. I look forward to working with her on legislation that addresses both natural disasters and the humanitarian crisis on the border. We should provide much-needed relief to…
