The Public Record
Dave Reichert is a former Republican member of the United States House of Representatives, representing Washington's 8th congressional district from 2005 to 2019. Before his political career, he served as the Sheriff of King County, where he gained national attention for his role in the investigation of the Green River Killer. During his time in Congress, Reichert focused on issues such as law enforcement, public safety, and veterans' affairs. He was known for his bipartisan approach and worked on various initiatives to support law enforcement and improve community safety.
I appreciate the words of Mr. Hoyer. As most of you know in this Chamber, my previous career was in law enforcement, 33 years. And there are some Members in here who have served their community as a police officer. In my experience in 33…
May I inquire as to how much time is remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Washington has 4 minutes remaining.
This legislation, as I said earlier, represents bipartisan, bicameral progress in protecting our Nation's most vulnerable children. So, in plain language, the House of Representatives cooperated together and developed a bill. The Senate…
I will insert in the Record a list of the organizations in support of this legislation. Organizations in Support of the Preventing Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Families Act (H.R. 4980) 1. American Academy of Pediatrics (letter) 2…
This is a significant opportunity, I think, to increase our exports in environmental goods and lower prices for consumers.
On rollcall No. 356, I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yes.'' ____________________
I believe that you are an honest man and that you want to do the right thing and that you took this job to improve the IRS and serve the American people.
Small businesses across the country recognize just how crucial it is to give access to capital to businesses in our struggling economy today. I reserve the balance of my time.
Just to be honest, I also might want to mention that Mr. Levin has voted five times to extend these policies, for a total of 12 years. Congress--Democrats and Republicans--have repeatedly reauthorized these tax policies without paying for…
How much time do I have remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Washington has 18\1/2\ minutes remaining.
I would just reiterate that the gentleman has voted for this extension of this policy three separate times for a period lasting 8 years. I reserve the balance of my time.
I would still say that the gentleman from Maryland--to clarify my point--has voted for the extension of these policies three times for a total of 8 years, and that is a fact. That is part of the voting record.
The gentleman from Maryland spoke very eloquently on this topic. I just want to note that his past action shows something a little bit different. He has voted for this provision three times in the past.
If we don't participate and keep up with those countries, they will form free trade agreements, and we will be left out.
Our future lies with our nation's children. For kids in foster care, we have an added responsibility to help them succeed, including helping them overcome the trauma they experienced before, and in some cases since, they left their home.
We know from research that foster children are prescribed mind-altering psychotropic drugs at very high rates, far higher than other children.
In too many cases, government programs may be trying to medicate away the troubles that these youths have experienced.
I have an amendment at the desk. The CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Page 3, line 10, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $1)''. Page 4, line 21, after the dollar amount, insert ``(increased…

I want to thank Mr. Doggett for his support. Just as we were listening to each other and talking to each other regarding the issue that existed prior to bringing this bill to the floor, I am interested in continuing to work with Mr…
In closing, I do believe that this bill can help end sex trafficking, especially when partnered with all of the other legislation that we have been talking about today. It is a holistic approach, and it touches on almost every one of the…
At this time, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Huizenga).
I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the American Research and Competitiveness Act. This bill takes a couple of important steps in improving a tax credit that supports tens of thousands of jobs in my home…
