We have made progress today. I am glad to hear the gentlewoman from the other side of the aisle recognizes there are differences between men and women. We may next actually be able to define what a woman is and what a man is. I am glad to…

We have the opportunity today to stop treating people differently based on race and to cut our spending together in one amendment. I support it, and I urge passage of it. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR…

It should be chilling to Americans as they watch the resistance to efforts to prevent the Federal Government from funding and enforcing a vaccine requirement. My friend on the other side said there is no vaccine requirement. Then why would…

This evening, I rise in support of my amendment to ensure that no funds will be used to require universities to enforce COVID-19 vaccine requirements for students and faculty. My amendment is important for two reasons. The first is because…

Virtually all the universities in this country are subsidized by Federal tax dollars. I encourage my colleagues to join us in ensuring that there will be no vaccine mandate. Mr. Chairman, I ask all of my colleagues to support this…
