In my home State of Maryland, banning funds for Planned Parenthood would have a negative and disproportionate impact on poor women.

Republicans have been saying that Planned Parenthood receives a half a billion dollars in taxpayer funds.

In closing, I hope our fellow Americans understand what is really at stake here: engagement and the rollback of a nuclear threat or the kinetic option, which is military intervention that takes us down a path that will lead to more…

Okay. What a lucky man my friend from California is. I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from California (Mrs. Davis).

Our friend from Florida asks the right questions. He has just got the wrong answer. I can answer those questions. I want a world that rolls back the nuclear capability of Iran, not a world based on a false hope that we can make it work…

I would simply point out for the record that Soleimani remains on the list. I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Ellison).

It was John Kennedy who negotiated the first nuclear Test Ban Treaty successfully with our archenemy that threatened to bury us--the Soviet Union. He said that we should never negotiate out of fear, but we should never fear to negotiate. I…

I am reminded back to Churchill. He said it is always better to jaw- jaw than to war-war. I now yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Lee).

Maybe the President could get some advice from the leadership of the Republican Conference in how to figure out what resolution to bring to the floor. I now proudly yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from Rhode Island (Mr. Cicilline), my…

Before I recognize the gentleman from New York, I would simply say I think that last analogy is invidious. The history of World War II is the fact that people ignored warnings for so long that, by the time Munich happened, it most…

But it's also critical that the families we're trying to serve are served in a timely fashion so that they're not experiencing a cash flow squeeze.

So if I've got a--if I haven't been reimbursed for my $300 monthly childcare, and maybe I have two kids, so my cost is more than $300, from a cash flow point of view for an active duty service member, that's a hardship.

Is GSA aware of the urgency of the need to reimburse men and women in uniform for their childcare?

How'd that work out for us?

There is nothing more sacred than the care of your child.

And congratulations to the U.S. Army and GSA for bringing Democrats and Republicans together here in the Congress.

We didn't trust the Soviets. Ronald Reagan said, "doveryai, no proveryai," trust, but verify.

I believe it is enforceable. I believe it is verifiable. I believe it is a robust agreement.

I believe this is a vigorous and enforceable agreement. I believe it is the only path to peace.

And it is the obligation of every agency manager within the Federal Government to protect the workforce from such unwanted advances.

I think all of us ought to stipulate that sexual harassment in any form is wrong.

The House passed this legislation by a resounding, bipartisan, unanimous vote of 403 to 0.

And I just--a word of caution, in terms of what is--some might see another agenda going at work here.

What we should not do, however, is strip away existing Federal civil service protections.

Congress, we folks up here, need to enhance laws against discrimination and abuse, rather than watering them down.
