I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for her longtime commitment to the child tax credit. We know it works, and she has been the most dedicated advocate for the child tax credit that we have in the…

I include in the Record three letters in opposition to H.J. Res. 98. The first is signed by the AFL- CIO, SEIU, and Teamsters. The second is signed by the United Steelworkers. The third is signed by a diverse group of organizations…

May I inquire how much time is remaining on both sides. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Virginia has 15\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentlewoman from North Carolina has 14\1/2\ minutes remaining.

It is also critical to our financial well-being that we ensure that the Port of Virginia is able to handle an increased number and size of container vehicles.

Unfortunately, due to climate-driven sea level rise compounded by historic land subsidence in the region, inundation from these waterways poses a serious risk.

State and local officials in Virginia already appreciate the significant threat of sea level rise.

Thank you for the opportunity to discuss the priorities of Virginia's Third Congressional District in the upcoming Water Resources Development Act.

Education is the foundation of our democracy and must be prioritized.

The statement says that Gay was indeed correct on calls for genocide of Jews were personally abhorrent and at odds with the values at Harvard. She was also correct that Harvard gives wide berth to free expression, even to views that are…

This amendment would make it impossible to update the science based on new evidence. We should be basing our decisions on science, not what somebody tells us at the gas station. I hope that we defeat the amendment and the underlying bill…

This appears to be technical and clarifying. That is always a good thing, and I hope that we will adopt the amendment. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.

I will read the short amendment. It says: ``Any affiliation of the foreign source to an organization that is designated as a foreign terrorist organization pursuant to section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act.'' It is hard to…

This lowers the threshold to $1. Any gift from any source, every gift or contract from any country--if you have some Canadian collaborators or somebody from Great Britain offering you coffee and donuts, you have to report it on a…

This is not an unreasonable requirement. To have the information that is stored for 4 years, an additional year is not unreasonable. Therefore, I do not oppose the amendment. Mr. Chairman, I yield such time as she may consume to the…
