I applaud the President's budget for its focus on supporting working families through the expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit.

I think most of us are hopeful that the Administration is willing to work with us on tax reform, and I am hearing you say that you are.

Hard-working Americans deserve a Tax Code that works for them, not them working for the Tax Code.

Absolutely. But I think that what you and I, and everyone who has spoken here tonight, have tried to do is to bring the personality, the humanness in the human heart, of a police officer to America tonight. And I think with two sheriffs…

I thank the sheriff. There might be some people back in Washington State that might disagree with you.

I thank the gentleman for his comments and also appreciate in the meetings and the hearings that we have been in your commitment to end--not just sort of have an impact on human trafficking, but ending, eliminating human trafficking in…

I appreciate your comments, Mr. Dent. For so many of the words that you shared, I could make a lot of follow-up statements, but our time is limited. But I do want to focus on one of the points that you made, just briefly. One of the…

I thank you, Mr. Goodlatte, for your comments and for your hard work as the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, and I thank you for coming tonight and sharing your comments. Next, Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Washington…

I thank the gentleman for his kind comments and for being here tonight to share his support of our law enforcement officers across this great Nation. Mr. Speaker, at this time, I yield to Mr. Goodlatte.

I thank the gentleman for his comments in support. There are a couple of things that he mentioned. One, some of those acts that police officers do each and every day to help families-- people don't hear about those officers that buy…

I thank the gentleman for his comments and his staunch support of law enforcement and his support of 1033. We will work together on that, and I am sure other Members of Congress have an interest in working to make sure that that…

I thank Cathy McMorris Rodgers for her comments and her support of law enforcement officers and sheriffs that she works with. Ten years ago--well, a little longer ago than that--I was the president of the Washington State Sheriffs…

From my district alone, I have heard from apple growers and hay producers who have lost half of their businesses.

So this is a devastating way to realize how important trade is to communities in Washington State and across the country.

Today I rise to condemn the horrific tragedy of human trafficking. Globally, there are 20.9 million people who have been trafficked. Not one U.S. State has been spared--sadly men, women and children in every state have been victimized…

I am hearing increasing concerns from my constituents about the West Coast Port contract negotiations.

the President of the United States and our Ambassador, Mr. Froman, both agree that TPP and TPA are critical to doubling our exports and creating jobs in America.

As was mentioned many times, businesses large and small will benefit from finally, since 1986, looking at our Tax Code and creating some certainty and stability in our Tax Code and the opportunity to grow and invest, of course then…

I thank the gentleman for yielding and his kind introduction. Today, Mr. Speaker, is National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. I hope this becomes a yearly thing. It is sponsored today by the National Sheriffs' Association, the…

I am waiting for one other speaker. If the gentleman has another speaker, it would be helpful.

I thank Chairman Camp for yielding and for all of his hard work on this legislation and for bringing it forward today. I thank the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Crenshaw), too, for his hard work. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support…

After listening to my colleague's comments, Mr. Doggett's a little earlier, there are a lot of things that Mr. Doggett said that I agree with, and I know he knows that. We have known each other for a while. He is the ranking member on the…

I would inquire of Mr. Levin as to whether or not he has any speakers on his side.

Our nation's welfare programs should be focused on one thing helping people in need find work, so they can escape poverty and move up the economic ladder.

I am so happy to have you here to share your success with us.
