I think I've been as outspoken as anybody but I would certainly recognize the leadership of the chair and ranking member as it relates to a health foreign affairs budget that allows us to develop good relationships in the world and avert…
I thank my colleague, the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Yoho), on this day when we honor dogs that serve honorably, just like the women and men who serve our country, for putting on this Special Order. Anyone who has ever had a dog…
I thank the gentleman from Alabama for yielding and the gentleman from Missouri. The Bible says: Greater love hath no man than this, to lay down his life for his brothers and sisters. On September 12, 1997, a little boy was born to a…
It is an incredible honor to stand today in honor of the legacy of the Reverend Billy Graham. The population of the United States when Reverend Graham was born was 103 million. Over the course of his life, Reverend Graham spoke to more…
It is a somber time to come into this Chamber as we have colleagues at the other end of the building who formed something they call the Common Sense Coalition, which is, I think, a gentle euphemism like so many things in this town are…
I thank Representative Budd for his comments. At this time, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Florida, (Mr. Yoho).
I thank the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Yoho), my friend and colleague, for his comments. In 42 years, 3,037 Americans have been killed on U.S. soil by foreign-born terrorists. There have been 182 foreign-born terrorists, to be precise…
Would foreign interference in elections be easier if sensitive national security information was kept on a private server?
It is humbling to have the opportunity to stand in this Chamber to speak on so important a subject as China's role in the world in 2018. Having had the privilege also of leading American soldiers on foreign soil, Mr. Speaker, I understand…
I would just, again, commend the Member from Florida, Congressman Yoho, as it relates to this opportunity. I think it is important to remember that, just like Americans, whether it was the Revolutionary War or the civil rights movement…
I thank the patron of this amendment for yielding. Mr. Speaker, we have covered many things in the past year, to include tax policy, healthcare, helping eviscerate ISIS, but I would argue this is the most important moment in the time that…

I thank the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Duncan) for his remarks. Mr. Speaker, how much time do I have remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman has 21 minutes remaining.
I will conclude. If we were to spend 5 minutes on each of the individuals murdered by the Iranian regime since that regime took power some 39 years ago, we would be here 24/7 for over a year. If we were to name each country and spend 1 day…
47 years ago, August 11, a baby boy was born to a mother and father in Detroit, Michigan, named Brian Terry. Some 18 years after that, Brian made a commitment to serve his country by enlisting in the United States Marine Corps, where he…
I appreciate the opportunity to address this Chamber and, indeed, America about the challenges that we face at this time in our country. There are many. Some exist within this Nation, some exist overseas, and some have many answers being…
