I thank my colleague from Texas for yielding and for those very kind words. I thank Chairman Engel and Mr. McCaul, the ranking member, for bringing this resolution forward. I rise today in strong support of the passage of my resolution…

It is with great respect and honor that I rise today to recognize Jimmy Dodson as he completes his term as the chair of the Farm Credit Council Board of Directors. Jimmy is a third-generation farmer, and he grows cotton, corn, wheat, milo…

I have no further speakers, and I yield myself the remainder of my time. Mr. Speaker, before I close, I would like to make a couple of comments about my colleague from Minnesota. Collin Peterson has served this House and the constituents…

Before I get to the heart of what I came here to talk about, I would encourage the two gentleman who just spoke to sign the discharge petition on the bill that would do much of what he just talked about, and that is reopen the PPP program…

I was attending an event in my district with President Trump to discuss the importance of American energy independence. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 168, ``nay'' on rollcall No. 169, ``yea'' on rollcall…

The real question for me, though, is who pays for it?

I am all for that, but just to have an open-ended check I don't think is necessarily a good idea.

We need to make sure that people that are unemployed, people that are having a tough time, have enough food to take care of their kids.

The contract Borden was awarded through the Farmers to Families Food Box Program enabled us to preserve employment and benefits for our people.

We urge Congress to continue to provide people the means to access healthy food.

The Farmers to Families Food Box Program (FFFBP) was the victim of a rushed process that included no engagement with current distributors and nonprofits and resulted in cherry-picked contractors who were not qualified.

Thank you for your leadership on behalf of America's farmers and ranchers, especially in such trying times.

The IRS Free File program is an innovative public-private partnership between tax preparation software companies, the IRS, 22 States, and the District of Columbia offering free online tax preparation and e-filing services to low- and…

I appreciate my colleague from Texas for yielding. I am certainly glad this day has finally arrived and to stand with American farmers by passing the USMCA. For the last year, Democrats obsessed over a partisan impeachment process while…

Other than authorizing an act of war, impeachment is the gravest item that we as a Congress can consider. The decision to move forward with impeachment of a United States President is so consequential that it has only been done three times…

Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 671.

I am grateful we have a new farm bill in place and a President who constantly stands up for the very Americans who provide our food and fiber.

Given the effectiveness of the Food for Peace Program, I believe, and the support from stakeholders, it is clear and important that we maintain that bipartisan effort.

I want American farmers participating in this, and American people support these programs in large part because they think it is American-grown products that are being used over there.

It is critical and absolutely crucial that food assistance and agriculture development efforts focus on building resilience.

Our Nation's motto of ``In God We Trust'' is inscribed on the wall above our heads. The word ``trust'' is typically defined as to have confidence, faith, or hope in someone or something. In this case, it is obviously trust in God. To have…

I have had the privilege and honor of serving most of my career in Congress on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. It is important work that goes on in secret, typically, and it is really important. Typically it involves the…

I want to specifically thank Chairman Takano and Ranking Member Roe for bringing this bill to the floor and allowing this much-deserved recognition of two young heroes from Odessa, Texas. Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record the official…

Both our previous speakers have described the last days that Mac and Rex spent on this Earth. I had the privilege of going to high school with Rex. He was a year older than I. Rex and I played on the football team together. Rex was a…
