I appreciate the opportunity to offer this amendment and to speak in support of a program that is important to my constituents and to all of those around the Great Lakes. The Great Lakes Fishery and Ecosystem Restoration, also known as…

I have an amendment at the desk. The CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Page 3, line 16, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $10,000,000) (increased by $10,000,000)''. The CHAIR. Pursuant to…

I thank Ms. Kaptur for her support of this amendment and for all of her work on the Great Lakes. It is remarkable that we have such a wonderful bipartisan group that has a wide variety of opinions in this Chamber but that comes together to…

I plan later today to introduce a bill that I have been working on for several months, the International Insurance Standards Transparency and Policyholder Protection Act.

I appreciate the gentleman yielding. Mr. Speaker, I come from America's dairy land, the central and northwestern part of Wisconsin, and we have a lot of small dairy farms--300, 500, maybe a thousand acres of small family farms. This death…

Any unauthorized disclosure of classified information is a violation of our law and compromises our national security...

That is not my--whether or not you gave it a lot of thought is not my question.
