I think overall it might be better sometimes both parents there.

I have a great deal of sympathy for the people we are trying to help in H.R. 397, and that is one of the reasons why I feel we need a real solution to this. Obviously, the pension plans are in such horrible shape that to continue with the…

However, in this era of invasive species, some of these dams are so valuable in protecting our rivers and lakes.

My bill is bipartisan and enjoys the support of Congressman Mark Pocan also of Wisconsin.

I am here to talk about H.R. 380. It deals with requiring--well, right now when it comes to dams, environmental agencies frequently feel that we need fish passageways so the fish can swim upstream.

It seems to me a little bit of the underlying problem here is that people are coming to Washington for money and programs.

Prior to talking about the Census, I just want to make one brief point in response to some of the debate on the other side. I will give some of the speakers a little bit of a project here. When we say the Pledge of Allegiance, we pledge…

In America we go through a great deal to make sure that something doesn't happen to a child if one parent would object.

I think one of the problems--well, you mentioned the underpayment of teachers, and I will ask you to do a Google search a little bit when you get done here.

On July 12, 2019, the House voted to pass the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2020. I missed the vote and was not recorded due to a previously scheduled engagement in Wisconsin with President Trump. Had I been present I would…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Wisconsin will be postponed. Amendments En Bloc No. 2 Offered by Mr. Quigley of Illinois

I will point out that, at least with regard to things like the Small Business Administration, one has to realize that we had a booming private sector in this country before the SBA. The idea that we need an increase here at a time when the…

I have an amendment before the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: TITLE IX--ADDITIONAL PROVISION…

This is a series of amendments we have seen, as we go throughout the budget process, asking for an across-the-board cut. Right now, we are borrowing 18 or 19 percent of our budget, which is just beyond belief. The speaker before me talked…

With all due regard to my wonderful Democrat friends, we're getting to the point where so many people are running for President it's almost going to be impossible to criticize a Democrat, because there aren't' that many not running for…

But be that as it may, we're in a very dangerous time here. Things are shifting dramatically.

A lot of times when a 15-year-old is engaged in that behavior it is incest? I don't know, maybe it is true.

I think America was founded, or at least John Adams said it was for moral and religious people.

I think the crisis at the border is maybe the greatest crisis this country has faced I suppose since World War II as far as risk to our future as a republic.
