I am delighted to join in support of this postal naming, and it is just such a pleasure to listen to the gentleman from California (Mr. Cook) talk about a friend he knew who was a fellow colonel and then to see what he did after his life…

First of all, I want to thank the gentleman from California. There is nothing I can add, really, to the eloquence of his remarks, and it is fitting that he made them as the person in this body who is representing the men and women of Camp…

I want to thank the gentlelady for her eloquent description of a brave and strong person and a life well-lived, and I am touched by seeing that photograph of the young, strong, healthy, vibrant man who meant so much to his family, as he…

My colleague mentioned that it is unusual we reach back. I think he would agree with me that it is wise that we do. World War II changed the world; and we were so committed to the cause of freedom in World War II, and so many of our…

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

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…

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 gentlewoman. I want to thank the Speaker, and I want to thank Leader Pelosi for working together to give us an opportunity to vote on this question of developing a Free Syrian Army. Make no mistake: the decision that Congress…

Second, the vetting process: How on a practical level will that work? We want the moderate Syrian rebels, but, in fact, we are going to be working with Egypt and with Saudi Arabia. They would nix Muslim Brotherhood participation. They want…

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…

There is one really good idea in this bill, and that is the $40 million that is going to be used to help repatriate kids with their families. This is what ideally should happen. Children want to be with their parents in their own country…

I have been kind of scratching my head as to why it is we are filing this lawsuit. Why is it that the independent House, the Speaker of the House, second in line for the Presidency, instead of passing a bill, is filing a lawsuit? I think I…

I thank the gentleman, and I endorse everything that the chairman just spoke about. I am proud that the House is taking up this bipartisan action today to address an issue that impacts each of our districts, and that is prescription drug…

This question of college debt that my colleague, Mr. Gowdy, spoke about, that is brutal. It is not a red State-blue State deal, and it is not a Republican-Democratic deal. It is young people getting out of college with a mountain of debt…

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 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…

First of all, I do want to thank Mr. Kline and Mr. Miller for bringing this bill to the floor, and I want to thank the staffs for working with Mr. Gowdy and me on this amendment and an amendment to follow. One of the things that brought…

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…

Today, Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 4572, the STELA Reauthorization Act, a bill that allows satellite providers to continue to offer broadcast television programming to their subscribers. Americans across the country will benefit…

I thank the gentleman. Madam Speaker, the hallmark of a great country is a great infrastructure. In its infancy, this country built interstate canals that helped commerce and life become strong and our economy vigorous. In the height of…

As we debate the bipartisan H.R. 3086, the Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act, I would like to draw your attention to another important bipartisan effort, the Marketplace Fairness Act. Over a year ago, the Senate passed that act with…

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

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