I would like to thank my cosponsor, Mr. Newhouse, and I would also like to thank Chairman Conaway for his work on this important bill overall. I urge my colleagues to support this amendment that will just provide justice for our ranch…

I think that there are many of us who were very frustrated and opposed a lot of the domestic spending in the omnibus, but made the decision that our own dysfunction here as an entity, as a Congress, shouldn't be--the cost of that shouldn't…

I just would reiterate extreme concern that we are in a situation where we are handcuffing ourselves, where we are facing adversaries who are clearly making significant progress that we are not making because of obligations that only we…

One of the things I am very concerned about though is the INF Treaty and the ongoing danger frankly that we put ourselves in.

We have a national shortage of pilots and the airline industry is hiring over 4,500 pilots a year.

I am concerned that these fall short in a couple of important ways that we have to study additionally before we proceed here.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, and thanks for your indulgence and the committee's indulgence in allowing me to be here today.

I would just note, in response to my friend and colleague from Massachusetts, that if the gentleman's leaders are so fragile that they are scared off by a tweet, then probably they need some new leaders. And I don't suspect that his…

For the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern), pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is for…
