Shame on us for allowing that to happen.

I share Chairman Peterson's concerns over hemp. I am worried we have opened Pandora's box.

It is one thing for China to use our farmers and ranchers and rural America as a weapon against President Trump...

Before I get to my objections to the amendment, I want to congratulate the chairman, the majority members of the committee, as well as the majority staff for the great work they did in helping us bring a fully bipartisan bill to the floor…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Massachusetts will be postponed. Amendment No. 12 Offered by Miss Rice of New York The…

Perhaps the most important thing that this Congress can do to improve not just the livestock and poultry economies, but the entire agriculture sector, is ratify the U.S.-Mexico-Canada agreement, or USMCA as we know it.

With all that our farmers and ranchers are going through, it is vital that we pass USMCA just as soon as practically possible.

Broadband access is not about convenience. It is about being able to participate in modern life and the economy.

The first meeting I was in this morning, a gentleman said, 'Do you want to beat people or win people?'

It is with a bittersweet heart today that I rise to recognize my current chief of staff, Mark Williams. Mark will finish 16 years of service with the House of Representatives and be moving on to the private sector. He has been my chief for…

Our problem is us. We need to adjust it and make adjustments to these rules and the regulations.

And I am relieved that the final farm bill that reflected the negotiation between the House and Senate basically cut out all of this language that would have punished low-income people in this country.

It is not a matter of taking the benefits away from folks who meet the requirements; it is making sure that those scarce resources go to the ones who need it the most.

We need to adjust it and make adjustments to these rules and the regulations in order that scarce resources can, in fact, go to the folks who need them the most.

We have a SNAP program. It is important, and we are going to keep it. The issue is, how do we administer that program that is fair to the folks who need the benefits and is also fair to the taxpayers?

Let's have those kind of conversations as opposed to defending a loophole that allows some families in America to be treated differently.

Woman, I rise in strong opposition to this amendment. For over 3 years, the House Intelligence Committee posted bipartisan classified and unclassified education sessions for Members to learn about FISA section 702. FISA section 702 is a…

I am begging my colleagues on the other side of the aisle if, in fact, you do support USMCA, that you work with your leadership to get this process moving.

I, for one, don't believe that Xi Jinping and China will suddenly have some sort of a come to Jesus moment where they will abandon stealing our intellectual property.

Your speech lit up a room of oilmen by connecting challenges found in the oilfields of Texas to financial markets in New York and around the world.

Your careful explanation of why derivatives are important to the most vulnerable among us was a moving reminder about why these markets matter.

Thank you for your service. Thank you for your diligence, thoughtfulness, and candor, and thank you for your relentless curiosity.

If that is the case, I would ask the Speaker and the majority leader to immediately bring that bill to the floor to allow us all to stand up for the sanctity of life. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman has not been recognized for…

China has a longer-term horizon than most of us.
