This is, as my colleague has indicated, a distraction. This has nothing to do with truck drivers or the PRO Act. We are talking about discrimination against older workers. We are talking about victims of discrimination, not who gets to…

I claim the time in opposition to the amendment, even though I am not opposed to it. The CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from Virginia is recognized for 5 minutes. There was no objection.

I thank the gentleman from California for yielding, and, yes, we have a lot of military installations in the Hampton Roads area, and we are very concerned about the present situation in the Middle East. We want to talk about what is going…

I thank the gentleman for the opportunity to mention these bills for the people. The people will be much better off if we can get a little cooperation down the hall and improve education, improve healthcare, and improve working conditions.

I include my remarks in favor of both Articles of Impeachment. Every Member of Congress swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, and that oath should be the guide for all of us when considering articles of impeachment against…

I will point out that the question of availability of drugs in the United States came up at a hearing we had on this legislation. It was pointed out that the target negotiated price will be approximately 120 percent of the international…

Farmworkers toil under difficult and dangerous conditions for long hours and low pay to ensure America has a safe and plentiful food supply. Because of the scarcity of domestic farm labor, for decades, the agricultural sector has depended…

I thank the gentlewoman for her leadership in bringing this bill to the floor, and I want to thank all of my House and Senate colleagues who have worked diligently on this legislation. Historically Black colleges and universities, Tribally…

We just need to be mindful of that when there may be an opportunity to do something coming up very, very soon on this.

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. I thank the Congressional Black Caucus and Representative Adams in particular for dedicating this time to discuss an issue affecting so many communities across the country, and particularly…

I want to thank the gentleman from Connecticut for yielding and for his untiring leadership on workplace safety issues. I rise in support of H.R. 1309, the Workplace Violence Prevention for Healthcare and Social Service Workers Act…

I join my colleagues to speak in support of H.R. 2474, the Protecting the Right to Organize Act, or the PRO Act. The PRO Act was reported out of the Committee on Education and Labor on September 25, and it is the most comprehensive…

I thank the gentlewoman for holding this Special Order and recognizing the legacy of Congressman John Conyers. I want to join those who are honoring his legacy. He served in Congress longer than any other African American. He represented…

I want to thank the gentlewoman from North Carolina (Ms. Adams) and the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Walker) for their continued leadership of this bill, specifically, and with the HBCU Caucus, generally. Mr. Speaker, I rise in…

It means that the jobs that could have come to the area won't come to the area. Tens of millions of dollars worth of construction, that's a lot of economic impact to this area they were going to lose for a wall that is not needed.

All of these projects are being lost for a wall that makes no sense and everybody knows it.

When it comes to the multiemployer crisis, the most expensive and harmful thing the Congress can do is nothing. Over the course of 4 years and multiple hearings, including five hearings of a joint select committee, we have repeatedly heard…
