I am very pleased to yield 4 minutes to the distinguished gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Van Hollen), my good friend and the ranking member of the Committee on the Budget.

There is too little time left on the legislative calendar for this body to be considering partisan legislation that we have been assured will not become law. Furthermore, the future of our Nation's highways and transportation systems are…

When the gentleman speaks of growing up in that area, my father grew up in Griffin, Georgia, on a farm. My first job was on a farm. I picked beans, I stripped celery, and I cut chicory. So I don't need lectures about not understanding…

If we defeat the previous question, I will offer an amendment to the rule to bring up H.R. 3064, a comprehensive, 6-year surface transportation bill that is partially paid for by restricting U.S. companies from using so-called inversion to…

At this time, I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished gentleman from California (Mr. Sherman).

All of the things that the gentleman from Georgia said are in the measure are true. But does he also agree that it is unprecedented that we have included a measure to delay an already-voted-on rule? Never before has that been done. Or to…

At this time, I am very pleased to yield 2 minutes to the distinguished gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Jackson Lee), my good friend.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, this 15- minute vote on adoption of House Resolution 315 will be followed by a 5-minute vote on agreeing to the…

At this time, I am very pleased to yield 2 minutes to the distinguished gentleman from Texas (Mr. Doggett).

At this time, I am waiting for one additional speaker, but perhaps I can engage in a colloquy with my colleague from Texas.

At this time, I am very pleased to yield 2 minutes to the distinguished gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro). Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, the vote on Trade Adjustment Assistance failed in the House of Representatives last Friday by a…

And I thank the gentleman, my friend from Georgia, for yielding the customary 30 minutes for debate. Mr. Speaker, this rule provides for consideration of H.R. 2596, the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016, as well as…

That is certainly allowed. Anytime before July 30, the measure could be brought to the floor, and it could be brought to the floor without any notice to the membership because it is a motion to reconsider. It is a part of this particular…

Many of those measures in a 5\1/2\-hour, into-the-night session that the Rules Committee operated.

I think you are absolutely correct, and it is unprecedented. At the very same time, as my friend from Georgia pointed out, they have done so transparently by putting it here, but that does not mean it would not be used at some point in the…

I am very pleased to yield 2 minutes to the distinguished gentleman from Georgia (Mr. David Scott), my good friend.

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, perhaps I should say to the membership of this body that if they vote against this rule, it doesn't mean that we would not have an intelligence authorization. It simply would mean…

Before making my remarks, I just want to say in a challenging way to the chairman of the Rules Committee that if we were to fix a bridge, it takes people to fix that bridge. And the people who fix that bridge spend their money in the local…

I would ask that you ask my good friend, the chairman of the Rules Committee, if he is ready to close. I have no additional speakers at this time.

These bills exemplify the recklessness and the foolishness of the majority's almost exclusive focus on domestic appropriations for deficit reduction, while leaving the main drivers of the deficit unaddressed. We cannot continue on this…

May I inquire how much time is remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Florida has 12 minutes remaining, and the gentleman from Texas has 7 minutes remaining.

I thank the gentleman from Texas, the chair of the Committee on Rules and my friend, for yielding the customary 30 minutes for debate. I yield myself such time as I may consume, and I rise today in opposition to the rule and underlying…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, this 15- minute vote on adoption of this resolution will be followed by a 5- minute vote on approval of the…

I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' and defeat the previous question; vote ``no'' on the underlying bills. I yield back the balance of my time.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, the Chair will reduce to 5 minutes the minimum time for any electronic vote on the question of adoption of the…
