Let's just say this: In concept once again, regardless of how one votes on this amendment, the issue is still significant. The issue is still being covered. The issue is already being done. There is a redundancy in some elements to it, but…
I claim the time in opposition, although, in all fairness, I am not opposed to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes. There was no objection.
Unlike the other amendments that we have had, this is the only one that is added here that actually has had a hearing. It has had a markup, it has gone through regular order, and it is the only one that is not doing something that is…
I appreciate especially the ability of putting all these amendments into en bloc to help move this process along. I am just looking at some of the issues that have been brought up already, and I am looking at the list of the Federal grants…
May I inquire how much time is remaining? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman has 1\1/2\ minutes.
I appreciate the gentleman from Maryland. He has got a good bill. It should be a suspension. We wouldn't even ask for a vote for it. There is nothing wrong that. Mr. Kilmer's H.R. 729 is a good, decent bill. What is so sad is the Democrats…
On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 262, nays 151, not voting 17, as follows: [Roll No. 667]…
Again, I claim the time in opposition. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
This is, once again, where we have the same situation that the issue and the problem of which the gentleman from Florida speaks is real and it is there. The concept is it is already also being addressed. These are the kinds of programs…
I actually don't have great pleasure in doing that because Mr. Brown is a vital member of our committee, does a great job, and defends his State brilliantly. I appreciate him doing that. But, once again, the process we are doing is adding…
Even though it has been said, you have already read it in some reports from the chairs of the committee of jurisdiction as well as the committee that could have sequential referral of this, that they approve adding some of the amendments…
Even though this is another wonderful program that already has three different agencies that do the same thing and they have the authority to do it, in the Christmas spirit--maybe the gentleman from Michigan will find the error of his…
This is one of those elements which, once again, the gentlewoman raises an issue that I think is right, it is good, and it is appropriate; and the idea that we should make sure these considerations take effect is an appropriate thing. The…
This adds a finding to it. It doesn't have any cost. This is not a duplicative program because it is a finding, so I support this amendment. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the…
I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 227, noes 182, not voting 22, as follows: [Roll No. 609] AYES--227 Adams…
I, too, am actually in support of the amendment. I think it is an improvement on the bill, but it doesn't go far enough because it is still only amending the findings. If you really want teeth with it, you have to amend the statutes…
It is wonderful to be back down here on the floor again with all of you. I thank Mr. Grijalva for that. I would have been here earlier had the gentleman not scheduled a hearing on our committee at the same time as we are supposed to have…
On November 7, Utah will honor a soldier's soldier. For the past 7 years, the men and women of the Utah National Guard have been inspired by Major General Jefferson S. Burton. General Burton was chosen for his battle-tested grit and…
This place is based predominantly on precedent and procedure. To bypass this proven pathway is predictably painful. So I pause to put a plea to the powers that be: Our people deserve better. The propaganda pushed upon the people is a…
Nevertheless, Ms. Jaresko's testimony today will provide valuable insight into the actual progress the Board and the new governor are carrying out.
It is very good to have disparative views, especially from those who are on the ground floor in what they are doing.
The Majority has decided to propose an effort that would catastrophically dismantle every bit of the balanced law that Congress and the Obama administration worked so hard to put in place.
Despite progress with the Board, little changed in the past 3 years in Puerto Rico's government, other than the resignation of the previous governor.
The Congress crafted PROMESA with bipartisan support but the goal of that was always to ensure that it regains financial credibility.
