I fully support this legislation. At this time, I yield such time as she may consume to the gentlewoman from Florida, Representative Wilson, and I thank her for sponsoring this legislation.

First of all, I am in full support of this postal naming. At this time, I yield such time as she may consume to the gentlewoman from California, Representative Capps, the sponsor of this legislation.

I support this, and I can't add to the excellent words of my colleague from North Carolina. It is an amazing thing when we are naming post offices to hear about the brave lives--in this case of a very young woman with a bright future who…

This whole debate about health care is so fundamentally important to this country. It's been divisive in Congress.

I want to thank the gentleman for his remarks and for bringing this forward to our attention. Mr. Speaker, I just want to comment, too, on how this individual, this man, two times in Korea and then decides he is going to go to Iraq…

I am pleased to join my colleagues in supporting this postal naming bill. I see that we have the sponsor of the bill here. I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from Nebraska (Mr. Smith) to speak directly about this brave…

Likewise, we thank you for doing this. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

Reclaiming my time, I thank the gentleman from California (Mr. Cook), and Mr. Issa also thanks you. It is a tough business we do here, but one of the things about these namings is that it allows us to remind ourselves of what we can aspire…

I find that to be a reckless decision with 12 percent at CDC. I think that is definitely the wrong direction.

There has been some lessons learned from what happened in Dallas.

It is Code Red. We have had two instances of infection here in the United States, but this is such a highly contagious disease that we are on full alert, correct?

I thank the gentleman. I know we are all proud of our Guard. Our Guard in Vermont lost more lives per capita in Afghanistan and Iraq, and many of our Guard members, as you know, played that role. So I do think of our Guardsmen and -women…

I thank my cosponsor, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Gowdy). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment No. 11 Offered by Mr…

I would just say the same to Mr. Gowdy. I appreciate working with him on this and also on our Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by…

I congratulate Mr. Latta and Mr. Green for their very good work in making a good bill better. I want to also salute Mr. Upton and Mr. Walden for their good work, working closely in partnership with Mr. Waxman and Ms. Eshoo. We have no…

If we are going to have enterprise that is going to, in your words, enrich the human condition, then the tool that is necessary to do that has to be available to anyone who wants to give that a shot.

I think open Internet principles are the Bill of Rights for the online world.

I think you gave a lot of people hope that we are going to keep the Internet open and accessible.

The debate that is happening today in Washington over net neutrality is critically important, but it should not be just in Washington.

The reason we did it was because we are all in it together. We are all citizens.

We are not going to have an economy in Vermont if we do not have an accessible Internet.

I do not want to see an Internet that is divided into the haves and the have-nots.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Vermont will be postponed.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 7, line 3, insert ``minor'' before ``modification''. Page 7, line 6, insert ``, such as a change in…

And political advocacy is fine, but do it in the daylight, not in the dark.
