I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Wisconsin will be postponed.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Add at the end the following: SEC. 6. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS. (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the…

I always enjoy the chairman of the Financial Services Committee and his lavish explanations. I just want to clear up some of the confusion and bewilderment that he seems to be under with regard to minority and Latin borrowers. He has said…

The motion to recommit is very simple, as the Clerk stated. It will ensure that nothing in this bill shall be construed to authorize any party to violate the medical privacy of any woman, including the victims of rape or incest with…

Yes, Madam Speaker, I am opposed to the bill. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Add, at the end of the bill, the following (and conform the table of contents accordingly): The…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, this 15- minute vote on the motion to recommit will be followed by a 5-minute vote on passage of the bill, if…

The definition of ``farce'' is: a foolish show, mockery, a ridiculous sham. Now, this Head Start funding bill and cry for providing a head start for our low-income children is indeed a false start at this 22 percent sequestration level…

Today's consideration of H.J. Res. 75 is a sham, a masquerade, a charade, and it features this relentless drumbeat and parade of pretentious concern for suckling babes and lactating women. Who do you think you're fooling? You're not…

Be not deceived. The people are not mocked. In 24 hours, if we don't send an exact bill back to the Senate, not a colon, not a semicolon, not a paragraph, not a word different, the government will shut down. This debate is not about…

The Nutrition Reform and Work Opportunity Act of 2013 is rife with fraud, waste and abuse. This bill is fraudulent in its claims that it's a benevolent bill that merely institutes work requirements and won't hurt children. In my very own…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 23, line 19, insert after ``determines.'' the following (and amend the table of sections accordingly)…

I'm sure my colleague agrees with me that we should not add hurdles. We've passed 11 bills since September on behalf of veterans, including the following kinds of initiatives: the 9/11 GI Bill, which we all agreed upon; copayments for…

I do want to thank the gentleman for his support. I now yield to my colleague from Florida, Frederica Wilson.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 255, after line 7, insert the following: ``(C) Applicability.-- ``(i) In general.--Subparagraph (A)…

Apparently, it was not enough for the House majority to decimate the nutrition title the last time we considered the farm bill a few weeks ago with the $20 billion cut. When they couldn't get the majority of Republicans to vote for it…

I rise to claim the time in opposition to the gentleman's amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Wisconsin is recognized for 5 minutes.

I would like to inquire as to how much time I have remaining. The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Wisconsin has 3\1/2\ minutes remaining, and the gentleman from Florida has 1\1/2\ minutes remaining.

Just because we keep saying that the 1996 welfare program was successful, doesn't make it so. Poverty has increased among women and children. A quarter of all children in this country are poor. With that, I yield 2 minutes to the…

I speak in opposition to this amendment. This is really a very poorly conceived amendment that would require all non-disabled individuals to participate in a job search every month or immediately lose benefits, even if the individual is…

With that, Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Southerland). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes…

We reduced welfare rolls because we literally threw people off. We did not help them find sustainable jobs, which is why poverty has increased. I yield 30 seconds to the ranking member of the committee, Mr. Peterson.

Despite what we have heard from the author of this program, there is no work in this bill. This amendment would more appropriately be called ``The State Bonuses for Terminating SNAP Benefits for People Who Want to Work but Can't Find a Job…

May I inquire as to how much time I have remaining? The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Wisconsin has 3 minutes remaining.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to yield 1\1/4\ minutes to the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro). Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentlelady. I think that this is really the height of temerity here to make reference…
