I rise with my Joint Economic Committee Democratic colleagues to address the terrible effects that the Republican budget will have on this country's health. I listened with rapt astonishment to Speaker Ryan's recitation of the percentage…
Today we're marking up H.R. 1159, the United States and Israel Space Cooperation Act.
It seems that we have tilted the scales upside down, and if what should be good for the goose, good for the gander, that if there's a disclosure, that that's the principle of participation, then let's make that fair for the professors also.
I feel bad taking time from the gentleman from Texas, but I move to strike the last word, Mr. Chairman.
One of the original objectives when Congress created NASA in 1958 was peaceful international cooperation.
the title of this legislation, the HONEST Act, which seems to somehow imply that EPA employees and EPA scientists are somehow not being honest.
John Kennedy said that to govern is to choose. And you clearly have made these choices.
I think that it's the larger Chinese policies of pushing back on the United States, of challenging us in as many areas as possible.
I think we can all agree that all scientists--government, academia, private sector--should be free of undue influence, be it politics or profit.
I would like to just begin by trying to create a sense of context and proportion.
I don't believe the majority has ever produced a shred of evidence that would have justified the subpoena.
97 percent of the scientists in the world...believe often reluctantly that climate change is real and that it's manmade
It seems to me that in this instance the Department of Energy was a bit overzealous in the removal of Dr. Metting.
I thank Congresswoman Gabbard for scheduling this Special Order. Mr. Speaker, Mark was a special presence in the freshman class of the 114th Congress. He brought his Hawaiian cheer to every room he entered, and I got to enjoy this perhaps…

As the chairman has said, this bill expands the Fort Frederica National Monument to include a 20-acre property, known as the North Marsh, which is currently owned by the St. Simons Land Trust. The National Park Service evaluated the…
This bill authorizes the National Park Service to conduct a special resource study of Fort Ontario in Oswego, New York. Fort Ontario was a military installation that was used during the French and Indian War, which was later used to house…

This amendment strikes three riders that undercut sound implementation of the Endangered Species Act as it pertains to the gray wolf, the greater sage-grouse, and the lesser prairie chicken. Despite what many of my colleagues assert, the…
I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

This amendment simply strips the dirty water riders in this bill. These four poison pill riders do not need to be in the bill. Each in its own right is a good example of a bad rider, and together they represent an assault on clean water…
I heartily agree with my friend from West Virginia that it is time we stand up for coal miners and their families. It is time we stand up for their health. I don't know West Virginia's health statistics, but I do know those from southwest…
I would just agree with the distinguished chairman of this committee that, yes, we have had debates. It is important that we continue the debates, and ultimately, wisdom will emerge. It is this back-and-forth, hopefully, that gets us to…
