I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 4200, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I thank Mr. Comer for yielding. Mr. Speaker, you will never hear me complain about having to come to Washington to vote. After all, it is an honor to serve the people of this great Nation and our constitutional obligation to be here…

It is a patriotic duty to do this right, efficiently, and to require Lockheed to pay penalties when they don't get it right.

We have spent $1 trillion in the last five years on this, and at least the estimates that we have here, and it is--you know, that could have gone to a lot of different places.

Born in Lavaca County, Texas, Arthur Etzler is a native of the 27th Congressional District of Texas. July 2, 2020, is his 100th birthday, but that is not the only thing remarkable about Arthur. On September 22, 1942, Mr. Etzler pledged his…

It's important for the United States to be at the leadership table.

Today, I rise to congratulate Mrs. Stacie Konvicka, who was this year's recipient of the Educator of the Year Award from the Wharton County Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture. This award is given to a teacher who exemplifies…

Reining in our debt and our deficits only gets harder, the longer we wait.

American taxpayers in future generations deserve honest accounting, not more gimmicks that attempt to paper over our huge and unsustainable deficits.

We do not have the luxury of ignoring the true cost of our spending decisions.

When it comes to maritime commerce, Texas ranks second in the nation and handles over 20 percent of all tonnage in the nation.

Should the Calhoun Port Authority begin construction to correct the Corps design, current law treats the construction project, however, as a new project, and requires that the port authority share the cost with the Federal Government.

When it comes to poor construction made by the Corps in preconstruction engineering and design, the private sponsor should not have to pay to correct the Federal Government's mistake.

The upcoming Water Resources and Development Act is critical for my coastal district, and I want to discuss a few issues and projects that are of concern for Texans back home.

I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I thank him for his work and leadership on this task force. It has been a worthwhile project, to say the least. Madam Speaker, with over $23 trillion in national debt and annual deficits at $1…

This week, I had the opportunity to visit Corpus Christi Police Officer Michael Love in the hospital as he recovers from injuries he sustained in the line of duty. Over the weekend, he was conducting a routine traffic stop when his patrol…

January 22 marks the 47th anniversary of the United States Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade. On that day, in a historic moment of judicial overreach and without legislative action, the Supreme Court declared abortion legal in our…

we spent I think $7 billion last year from Congress, and it's the picture of this bucket that we're pouring into, but there's a hole in the bottom going into a bucket that China's sitting there

As I sat in the basement of this Capitol listening to deposition after deposition, it was very clear that this impeachment shenanigan was never about a real search for truth. House leadership wanted us to believe, the American people to…

It is a key function of our republic, a republic of the people, by the people, for the people of having representative government.

It has been very clear from the beginning that this impeachment proceeding has never been about an honest search for the truth. If it were, our Democratic friends would not have polled to see what to charge the President with. Calling an…

Going to common carrier pipeline will relieve enormous challenges today in the CO2 market, and that will mean you'll get to see a lot more of these planned activities being done at scale.

The world's demand for energy is growing. I have always believed that the solution to the challenges we face is advancements in technology rather than us all retreating from the industrial age.

I've always thought that the answer to that is for America to meet the challenge, because we will always do it a lot more responsibly than many of the other countries across the pond, so to speak, who don't have our best interests in mind.

It is comforting that we can come together as a Congress on an issue as important as this and lay aside the differences.
