h.r. 3 is a great first step. today's spending cuts will save the taxpayers $15 billion, the largest rescission package since the tool was adopted in 1974. it comes from program that was expired or can no longer be used. if we don't pass this rescission bill it's like leading -- leaving cash laying around the kitchen table, the silverware drawer, in the corner. you may have the money available for use but it's a poor way to manage the taxpayers' dollars. returning the money to our treasury allows us to make investments in other needed areas without raising taxes or spending money we don't have. over the past two years, republicans in congress have jump started our economy through the tax cuds and -- cuts and jobs act and slashing government red tape and regulation. that helped our economy reach the lowest unemployment rate in 20 years. however, now is the time we need to get serious about cutting spending. today's vote is a great first step. i look fwrd to passage of h.r. 3 and to identify even more ways to cut sp

goodlatte, the author of h.r. 4760. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from virginia is recognized. mr. goodlatte: i thank the gentleman from texas for yielding me this time and for his hard work on this issue as well. this is a very good bill. it's not something that was cooked up overnight. this bill was introduced six months ago. it's based upon legislation that's passed out of the judiciary committee in previous congresses, and some of it in this congress. it is a good effort to make sure that we're addressing all three aspects of immigration law that need to be addressed. it has a very good proposal with regard to the daca recipients. they get a legal status permanently for the rest of their lives. renewable every three years, as long as they don't commit a crime. that's a statutory protection. that's not something that's subject to court challenges. it's not something that's subject to the whims of any president, past, present, or future. it is something that allows them then to avail themselves of existing pa

speaker, h.r. 6136 does not even address the crisis of dreamers. i believe my colleague from the great state of washington when he says he wants to fix that but in fact, this blocks -- the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady's time has expired. mr. polis: 15 seconds. ms. jayapal: it blocks them from citizenship while revoking aproved petitions for three million family member who was paid fees and waited for years. this is not a moderate bill, it is wrong. let's stand up for these children, let's bring the keep families together act to the floor for a vote. let us stand up for america. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady's time has expire. the gentleman from washington. mr. newhouse: i yield a minute and a half to the good gentleman from illinois, mr. davis. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one and a half minutes. mr. davis: thank you, mr. speaker. i wish i could use that picture my colleagues had up because we're debating a solution to an issue that congresses for decades have not addressed. immigration is a difficult is

they have brought up h.r. 8, water resources development act. this is an incredibly important bill to improve our nation's ports, locks, dams, and more all across the country. it's a bipartisan bill. and it was the product of a process that shows how congress is supposed to work. hearings were held. thoughtful testimony was given. including from the head of the army corps of engineers. there was a markup. input and ideas were heard from members on both sides. remarkably a majority of amendments offered were adopted en bloc by a voice so the without much controversy. that's important to know because republicans aren't known for their lack of controversy. just this week, the president of the united states is talking about pardoning himself of possible federal crimes. his lawyer is floating wild theories about how the president could shoot his former f.b.i. director without facing prosecution while in office. this bipartisan bill and the mostly collaborative process that got us here came as a welcome relief, until this bill got to the rules committ

rise in opposition to h.r. 2851. this bill is well-intentioned but fatally flaw i agree with the goal of preventing synthetic drugs but it 2851. -- it l reasonably incorporates medical and scientific analysis in favor of a law enforcement focused approach that would worsen the mass incarceration crisis and could undermine scientific research. there are already statutory mechanisms in place to provide for the scheduling and regulation of new drugs that may be dangerous if misused. those mechanisms require an appropriate degree of collaboration at the outset among the justice department, the drug enforcement agency, the department of health and human service, and the food and drug administration in scheduling synthetic anna logs. this is because each of these agencies is equally important scheduling process. by marginalizing the roles of s. by marginalizing the roles of h.h.s. and the f.d.a. in this bill, we would establish a mechanism that does not adequately consider scientific substance in question. such input is cr
