I thank the chairman. Mr. Speaker, we owe it to our friends and our allies in the region to step up and lead. After months, even years of inaction, the President is finally doing that. I wish that we were doing more. I wish that we were…

Mr. Daines, I agree that we must stand with Israel. All of us here tonight agree that we must stand with Israel. I now yield to my colleague and good friend, Mrs. Hartzler from Missouri.

Thank you, Mr. Clawson. We look forward to serving with you in the future, and we, once again, welcome you. It is now my honor to introduce my good friend and someone I have come to respect and admire, Mrs. Walorski from Indiana. She is…

We thank you, Mrs. Walorski. Beautifully said. I now would like to introduce someone I have come to have tremendous respect for. He brings not only a unique perspective but great experience to this question as chairman of the House…

Thank you, Chairman Frelinghuysen, for your comments and for your leadership. It is now my honor to introduce Mr. Lance from New Jersey. He served for many years in the New Jersey State Legislature and now serves on the powerful House…

Thank you, Mr. Lance. As the manager of this Special Order, I have to be prepared to fill the time if we need to, to fill any gaps in the conversation, and very clearly that has not been necessary tonight. We have so many eloquent Members…

Thank you, Mr. Franks. Mr. Speaker, I am happy now to yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Perry), a good friend of mine, someone, once again, that I have come to respect greatly. For one thing, he is a colonel in the Army…

We live in a very dangerous world. It seems like there is chaos and darkness all around us. As a former Air Force pilot, I have seen the results of abusive power in a very real way. It seems like every time we turn on the television or we…

Thank you, Mr. Perry. Once again, I have the honor of yielding to the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Bentivolio), a Member with a unique background, who, while stationed in Iraq with the Michigan Army National Guard, he, himself, experienced…

I thank the gentleman from Michigan. He has stated it, once again, like many others, very powerfully. Mr. Speaker, in conclusion tonight, I yield to the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Smith), who, once again, as a senior member of the…

That was powerfully said. In conclusion, as we wind down our time tonight, let me just finalize with these thoughts. There is a great line from a speech that would have been given by John F. Kennedy in November 1963 if he had been allowed…

Thank you, Dr. Wenstrup. Next, I would like to yield to Mr. Steve King, a colleague and gentleman from Iowa. Mr. King sits on the Agriculture, Small Business, and Judiciary Committees, and he has always been a strong defender of Israel.

Thank you, Mr. King. Mr. King mentioned the tunnels. I would like to illustrate this, if I could, and just interject very quickly. This is a photograph of the tunnels. These aren't dark 2-foot holes dug into the ground. These are…

Thank you. We have so many people who want to join in this conversation tonight. We are grateful for many of those who participated. It is my honor to yield to Mr. Engel, who represents New York, the ranking member of the Foreign Affairs…

Thank you, Mr. Engel. Thank you for your service on the Foreign Affairs Committee. You bring up such a great point. This is a bipartisan issue. There is agreement on both sides of the aisle. We have got servicemembers, military members…

I thank you for your comments and for your support, Mr. Collins. I now am happy to introduce the newest Member of Congress, Mr. Clawson from Florida.

I would like to thank the gentlewoman for giving me 1 minute to speak on this. I was an Air Force pilot for 14 years. I flew for 7 years as a combat rescue helicopter pilot. We flew and exercised with the A-10s all the time. I also flew…

Federal agencies in Washington, D.C., are setting new records. Unfortunately, these are not records that they should be proud of. In 2013, the Federal Register contained nearly 80,000 pages of new rules and regulations imposed on American…

I thank Dr. Price, who is one of the really bright lights here in Congress, for his leadership on this. Imagine the CEO of a business telling the board of directors that he would like to buy a new piece of equipment. Unfortunately, this…

I think we have got to be more aggressive. We have got to come up with something that brings some relief to these folks.

If you increase their AUM rates to $50, what would be the outcome? They would be driven completely out of business.

the answer is build a pipeline, which many of us have been advocating for a long time.

I submitted a bill, the Endangered Species Improvement Act, which would just require... I cannot imagine this being controversial.

I would like to thank my good friend and, really, one of my heroes, Congressman Bishop of Utah, for bringing attention to, I think, this very important topic, especially one to my home State of Utah. To my friends across the aisle, I think…

Every day when I am talking to constituents, their top concern is always the economy and jobs. They are frustrated--as I am--that we have something like 3.8 million Americans who have been unemployed for more than 27 weeks now. And I am…
