May I inquire how much time remains. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas has 12 minutes remaining.

I will repeat that Treasure Island Job Corps was in last year's bill, and as the majority drafted this year's bill, I think we know what needs to be in the bill. Let me also point out that President Biden's Department of Labor supports…

My amendment makes a technical fix to what seems to be a copy and paste drafting error in the bill, replacing ``Treasure Island Job Corps'' in section 114 of the bill, which was the language signed into last year's bill, to ``Gary Job…

I have an amendment at the desk. The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 45, line 9, strike ``Treasure Island Job Corps Center'' and insert ``Gary Job Corps Center''. Page 45, line…

The Federal Government isn't hesitant to insert itself into the daily lives of Americans, whether it is banning gas stoves, restricting their ability to choose their own doctor, pressuring social media companies to censor their…

We don't have a smoking gun when it comes to the labs, but it is not a stretch to say that U.S. taxpayer dollars helped fund the pandemic.

I have real concerns when it comes to these international labs getting taxpayer funded money.

When George Orwell wrote the book ``1984,'' most people took it as a cautionary tale. Some of our friends on the left took it as an instruction manual. We have literally seen this administration try to stand up a ministry of truth. We have…

I remind my colleague to direct her comments to the Chair and also remind her that our Constitution understands that those rights are a gift from God, not a grant from government. The Acting CHAIR. The Chair acknowledges that Members…

we only save our Nation when everybody in every walk of life stands up and is courageous.

I find it interesting that when I travel, many immigrants actually understand and are more concerned even than people who have been kind of in the boiling pot of what's happening in America.

we've seen recently a kind of massive consolidation of power.

this whole thing has really been bizarre, and it's caused a massive distrust from the American people.

more people on health insurance rolls and less people actually getting health care.

That's a very good point.

I thank the gentleman from Alabama for putting this Special Order hour together and for the great work he is doing to represent Alabama. Mr. Speaker, everyone knows that our government spending is completely out of control and that…

I think it is about time that we get back to talking about what happened because vaccine hesitancy is an issue.

Ronald Reagan once said that it isn't that our liberal friends are ignorant; it is just that there is so much they know that isn't so. As you hear the talking points coming from the left concerning this bill, with all the Chicken Little…

I have a concern when the White House is making decisions based on political science versus real science.

I do find it odd that part of the communication was scheduling the communication and the concern that the union and the Biden Administration might stand apart from a messaging standpoint.

I thank the chairman for his support in getting Mark Swidan back to his home and to his family. I also thank the ranking member for her support, as well. Mark Swidan is a native Texan from Luling who is currently being detained in China on…

All of this part, of course, in proper context that there is a right way to come to our country in an illegal way, and every illegal entry is dollars to a cartel.

What efforts are being made--because most who leave and come back, I don't think were asked to leave in the first place, and so what is there in place to make sure that they understand that there is no reprisal or any sort of action to be…
