Let me thank the gentlewoman for her leadership. Maybe my friends have gotten a little bit of absentmindedness. This is volume I and II of the Mueller report, a distinguished veteran of the Vietnam war. Page 174, volume I, it says…

As a senior member of both the Judiciary Committee and a co-sponsor, I rise in strong support of H.R. 777, the ``Debbie Smith Reauthorization Act of 2019,'' which reauthorizes the Debbie Smith Act and the Debbie Smith Backlog Grant program…

We have some very unique aspects in that legislation. We have counseling for men and boys, something very unique. I can't view that as controversial. We, likewise, have extended the protection of the arm of justice to Native American…

I thank the gentleman from New York for yielding, and I express my appreciation to the manager of our friends on the other side of the aisle, my colleague from Arizona, and my colleague on the Judiciary Committee. Let me say, first of all…

I thank the gentleman for his leadership. I thank the House Administration Committee, both the chairman and ranking member. I thank the gentleman from Oklahoma for managing this rule. I want to emphasize, particularly to the gentleman from…

I thank the gentleman from Virginia for his kind remarks and support. And I thank Dr. Burgess, as well, for his involvement and commitment to this legislation. I also thank the chairman and ranking member of the Judiciary Committee for…

I have no further speakers, and I continue to reserve the balance of my time.

I introduced this bill, as I said, with Mr. Burgess of Texas because the widespread use of performance- enhancing substances had come to light in recent years, harming athletes and fans alike. Clean U.S. athletes and sports organizations…

I accept the gentlewoman from the District of Columbia's--my dear friend--challenge. While I congratulate the historic once-in-a-century-win of the Nationals, let me be very clear: The Houston Astros have won the most games of any of the…

To Elijah's wonderful wife and my friend, and to his children and family, we have said over and over again how much we will miss him, but we realize how much you will miss him. Elijah Cummings was my classmate. He came in during a special…

There are many things that we come to this floor to do. In the midst of our duties, we stand in this well as armor and advocates for democracy. There are moments of joy, and there are moments of high debate, but I come this morning partly…

Let me thank the chairman and ranking member for coming together. I was on the floor earlier, and I held up The New York Times that says: ``Syrian Forces Rush Into U.S. Void,'' and, ``Battle Lines Shifting to the Benefit of Iran, Russia…

The headline of The New York Times yesterday said: ``Syrian Forces Rush Into U.S. Void. Battle Lines Shifting to the Benefit of Iran, Russia and ISIS,'' to the negative impact of the national security of the United States of America…

A week ago Sunday, the Commander in Chief of this Nation made a call to the head of the Government of Turkey. No one knows the basis of that call, but we do know that it was made without the consultation of the national security apparatus…

We recognize that this border wall, over and over again, has been said to be designated as an action of the sovereign nation of Mexico. Why, then, are the people of the United States, the taxpayers, voting for something that was promised…

I thank the gentleman from Oregon for the time. It may have been 200 times that the President said that Mexico would pay for the wall, but here we are today. I rise to support S.J. Res. 54. I want the American people to know, $3.6 billion…

Thank you very much for the leadership of the chairman, and I appreciate the ranking member on the floor. I have had the privilege of traveling with Congresswoman Underwood to the border in some very challenging circumstances, and I…

I ask that my colleagues support the underlying legislation, and I reserve the balance of my time.

I want to thank the minority for its support of this legislation and ask my colleagues to support it. As I do so, Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record an article, ``DHS Flags Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities in Philips Patient Monitors: The…

Today the transcript was released of the conversation between the President of the United States and the President of Ukraine. As a person who believes in the Constitution and the rule of law, it is crucial that we proceed with the work…

I thank the gentleman for the additional time. Mr. Speaker, I wanted to focus on this: We know in the past year, under this administration, seven-plus children have died. How many adults have also passed? It is as important to report the…

I thank the chairman and certainly the ranking member for his position on this bill, but I rise with great enthusiasm to support H.R. 2203 by the distinguished gentlewoman from Texas, and as well to indicate to her that I had wished that…

I thank my colleague, Congresswoman Plaskett for anchoring this Special Order on support of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. I want to express my significant concerns with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's proposed rule to…

I was speaking to one of our colleagues who indicated that he held a town hall meeting where he was explaining, as a civics matter, the Constitution of the United States and the role of the United States Congress in holding the executive…

As a senior member of the Judiciary Committee, I rise in strong support of H.R. 1423, the Forced Arbitration Injustice Repeal Act or the FAIR Act. I support the FAIR Act because it restores the rights of workers and consumers by making…
