It is hard to believe that it has been almost a year since we lost our beloved colleague, the Honorable Louise Slaughter. Louise always believed personal relationships could transcend politics. She set an example for us all through her…

Thank you for your leadership and the work you do with the men and women of the Coast Guard as they carry out their mission.

2018 was our most secure election so far, and that is a great statement to be able to make.

You are expressing some frustration, some of the systemic problems and operational challenges that FEMA has.

I thank Mr. Bishop, as well as Mr. Grijalva. Mr. Speaker, I rise enthusiastically today to support this package that the House is considering. It includes one of my bills, the Yakima River Basin Water Enhancement Project Phase III Act…

I thank the gentleman from South Carolina for his input on this important issue. It underscores the cost to the Nation if this were adopted and its impact on our economy. I thank the gentleman for that tremendous help. I thank all my…

I thank the gentleman from Kansas (Mr. Estes). I appreciate very much him sharing his thoughts about the Green New Deal and the impacts it would have on our country--something that we just absolutely cannot afford. So I appreciate very…

I thank the gentleman from California (Mr. LaMalfa). I appreciate very much him sharing his thoughts--and California's thoughts--about what we have in front of us and the impact it would have. And if anyone is thinking that this is just a…

I rise this evening to lead a Special Order alongside my colleagues to discuss, frankly, a reckless and misguided and radical proposal recently introduced by some of my Democratic colleagues, the Green New Deal. Tonight, together with many…

I want to thank the gentleman from Minnesota for expressing so eloquently how Americans around the country would be affected by this if this legislation was adopted into law. People from different parts of the country with extreme weather…

I thank the good gentleman from Arizona for expressing his thoughts on how this would impact the people not only in Arizona, but also around the country. Mr. Speaker, many of my constituents continue to ask me what is actually in this…

Before I begin, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous materials on the topic of my Special Order. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the…

I thank Mr. Biggs for sharing his thoughts on the direction that this would take our Nation and the dangerous path it would lead us upon. Those are things that we need to make sure that we don't allow happen, and I think the American…

I thank the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Cloud) for giving us great thoughts about the impacts of what the Green New Deal would actually mean for Americans and jobs in the United States of America. As the gentleman from Kansas (Mr. Estes)…

Today I rise in support of human life and protections for newborn infants. This should be a noncontroversial thing. Newborn babies deserve access to medical care. In the weeks since Democrats blocked the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors…

what kind of impact could we see with an additional $750,000 for this program

I would like to talk to you more about the use or the non-use of dynamic scoring.

I am certainly interested in seeing that, and I think that would be interesting for a lot of people to see.

I will just add my two cents in support of the program as well.

Mel Stottlemyre is a household name for baseball fans across the country, but to us in central Washington, he is a hometown hero. Hailing from the small town of Mabton in the Yakima Valley, Mel's career skyrocketed to the heights of…

I thank my friend from Oklahoma for yielding some time. Madam Speaker, today I regretfully rise in opposition to this rule. The base text of the legislation before us is vitally important. I will admit that. It demonstrates bipartisan--in…

It is once again disappointing to witness my Democratic colleagues pull political stunts rather than make serious efforts to find a compromise to reopen the government. This legislation that we have before us today has only seen the light…

I thank my friend Mrs. Hartzler from Missouri for putting this evening together to help us make some important points about a very important issue facing our country. So I thank the gentlewoman for yielding me some time. I just wanted to…
