speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. lance: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today in support of h.r. 2345, the national suicide hotline improvement act. this critical legislation seeks to designate a new easy to remember three digit dialing code for a national suicide prevention hotline. we all know by heart to dial 9-1-1 during an emergency. we have fate and confidence that somebody who can help will be on the line. it shouldn't be any different for someone in a mental health crisis. according to the centers for disease control and prevention, suicide is on the rise across the country. sadly, more than half of those who die by suicide do not have a known mental health condition. we also want to make note of the number of service members and veterans in need of prevention services. we will work with our minority on this study to review how these patriots can seek help whether stateside or overseas. you never truly know what battles an individual is fighting. that's

>> i claim time in opposition to the amendment. the chair: the gentlewoman is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you. i strongly oppose this amendment that takes more money from an already-starved e.p.a. account. this bill already severely cuts the environmental protections agencies operating count by more than $100 million. the air we breathe and the water we drink are endangered by funding and policy decisions made in this bill and the consequences will be negatively felt in communities across this nation. the unfortunate that allocation was level funded and i'm sorry to hear that the gentleman's account received a cut and i often know that cutting e.p.a. is an easy target for many of my colleagues across the aisle, mr. chair, but i want my colleagues to understand what this amendment would cut if adopted. ms. mccollum: this account funds programs that are important to both sides of the aisle. permitting construction projects across the country. toxic risk prevention. and a successful brownfields program and even other cuts. i

upton: i yield myself such time as i may consume. this bill s. 490 authorizes the federal energy regulatory commission, ferc, to extend by six years, the time period during which construction must commence on a hydroelectric project involving the gibson dam which is loathed on the sun river inmon tan after. ferc may reconstruct the license if it expires. this bill passed the senate back on june 28 and i would urge my colleagues to join me in supporting this legislation so we can send it to the president's desk. when the senate passed this bill, they passed five other house bills extending the construction licenses for hydro projects in north carolina, new york, virginia and these have now become law. this is the last one. and i would resevere the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. green: i yield myself such time as i may consume. i rise in support of s. 490, bipartisan legislation sponsored by senators that would reinstate and extend

wanted to ask about time but quantum yes, i gravity so like - time with with something like that. think like it is going to be proven in some of the how it use progress in going -- yeah thank you for this question. i don't know. i hope i would like to answer question i strongly would like to answer yes. i think it has to happen soon but not sure at all. i'm working on that. many groups that work on the the line of quantum gravity -- we with and others are applying to quantum gravity to black holes. weblack holes shrink and nobody knows what happened at the end people say oh at the end -- the black hole -- oh disappears. but that because we don't have a theory for that and, in fact, we think that that's young that black hole appear. we think that what it is saying they come into white hole and so they could be a physical effect on that. so there's a big war now, now we have sort of creation -- is a big work of trying to pinpoint where we could see as you say an observation that could confirm or disconfirm them. i hope before dying that -- [laughter] we'll see a thing, a measurement

emmer: i yield myself such time as i may consume. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for as much time as he wishes to use. mr. emmer: mr. chairman, i rise to offer an amendment which i'm pleased to say i intend to withdraw. because after months of hard work in this chamber and with the administration, it's no longer necessary. minnesota is the proud home to the iron range, which boasts an abundance of natural resources and critical minerals. when it comes to protecting the environment while developing our economic assets, nobody does it better than minnesota. despite this history, on its very last day in office, the obama administration proposed to withdraw over 240,000 acres of land in our state from mineral exploration and development. this last-minute action was an assault on our way of life. threatening thousands of jobs, billions of dollars in state revenue and school trust funding, and handicaps our national security by increasing our reliance on foreign sources of minerals. that's why i offered this amendment, to stop this

i wear heels all the time. i always wear heels all the time. i never wore heels during that time. you were running between committee meetings, hearings, markups, the house floor -- it was insane. there's a funny "saturday night live" clip with chris farley being newt gingrich where they were like, family medical leave, passed -- and again, with all the excitement that comes with being in the majority and the optimism and enthusiasm that came with that, but just think about ten major pieces of legislation happening in 100 days. it was crazy. >> what role did women republican members play besides you and leadership -- >> well, i mean, i think women on committees certainly being spokespeople. there was never, ever an issue if there was ever a press conference to be held that women needed to be there and women needed to be spokespeople. and if a woman felt particularly strong about it, we were going to just get that woman up there. i mean -- i don't mean to make it sound it was all so great and easy, but you did not wait your turn because you were a female, right. they wanted you out

with that i yield back my time. mr. schneider: i reserve my time. the chair: the gentleman from illinois reserves. the gentleman from california, for what purpose do you seek in? >> i claim time in opposition to the amendment although i am not opposed. i reserve. the chair: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from illinois. mr. schneider: if there's no more discussion i'm happy to call for a vote and yield back. the chair: does the gentleman reserve or yield back? mr. schneider: i yield back my time. does the gentleman reserve or yield back -- the chair: does the gentleman reserve or yield back? mr. schneider: i yield back. mr. nunes: i yield back. the chair: the question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from illinois, mr. schneider. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it. he amendment is agreed to. it's now in order to consider mendment number 3 printed in house report 115-815. for what purpose does the gentlelady from texas seek recognition? ms. jackson lee: mr. chairman, i rise becaus

i yield myself such time as i may consume. the gentleman is quite correct in identifying the other body as sometimes an obstacle to good public policy. for it was one year ago that the other body blocked a health care reform that this body had passed the previous may. but mr. speaker, i want to draw the house's attention to an article in today's "wall street journal." the title trump care beat os ba macare. i want to quote a little bit from this article. that in december, to set the stage in december with the repeal of the individual mandate, quoting here, while many people did not realize it at the time, it turns out that mr. trump has been helping to improve an important source of insurance coverage since virtually the moment he took office. continuing to quote here. by prioritizing economic growth and reducing the tax and regulatory burden on the united states businesses, mr. trump has helped create an economy with more job openings than ever before and as if by magic, the invisible hand of a freer marketplace is now generat

i have no requests for time. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back. the gentleman from michigan is recognized. mr. chairman, i want to again thank the ranking member for her work on this and being able to move forward on this very important issue. mr. want to again thank the ranking member for her i again want to encourage all of our friends on all sides, both sides of the aisle, to be supportive of this. it's a very important thing as we figure out the situation with the i.p.o.'s here in the united states. with that, mr. chairman, i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the question is, will the house suspend the rules and pass the bill h.r. 6139. so many as are in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the ayes -- 2/3 of those voting having responded in the affirmative, the rules are smunded, the bill is passed, and -- the rules are suspended, the bill is passed, and without objection the motion to rec

i know our time was short together. i wish i had a chance to get to know you better and i want to wish you the best. as you move forward in your next adventures and thank you it to your family. i know that is the most important thing and it is a family decision to do this job. i just want to wish you the best of luck. like i said, i wish we had more time to serve together. thank you for your service to district eight and the city and county of san francisco. to mayor elect breed, it is no secret that my daughter is obsessed with you. you mean so much to her. i thank you for that. i just, you know, reflecting back the first time i met you, it was my first event and people were saying, you have to meet london breed. you have to meet london breed. when he walked into the kitchen where we were at, in a home, i remember thinking, she has so much confidence she has so much presence. i was so happy to get to know you over the years as a legislative aide to supervisor farrell and get to work with you. and when we did the sandy h

i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california is recognized. mr. royce: mr. speaker, thank you. the okavango delta supports the economic livelihood of a million people in that region. it is in a desert but the okavango river flows into that desert and it makes a home to the largest remaining population of elephants in the world. spans three countries. it starts in the highlands of angola and it flows through namibia and bostwana, and like other regions across africa, there is a challenge here in the poaching and trafficking of threatened species in the delta. and that poaching of elephant d black rhino and other hipo -- hippos, is increasing. i've seen the result of poachers. wildlife trafficking and profiting from poaching provides a key funding source for international criminal networks and for terrorists. and these deadly groups undermine regional stability. they spread violence. they disrupt local governance. they have a devastating impact on the economic opportunities for

time. mr. takano: i yield myself such time as i may consume. i rise in support of h.r. 5882 as amended the gold stars releasing act. i would like to first start thanking the the gentlewoman from illinois for drafting this bill and allow the spouse of a service member to terminate their lease after the death of a service member. oftentimes families are required . move far away from home in the difficult time after the passing of a service member, spouses should not be stuck in a lease far away from their home and support network. this may seem like a small detail but it is something that could make life easier in a very trying time. i thank the chairman. as we move the reserve components from a strategic reserve, we are seeing too many deaths of national guardsmen and women and reservists while in uniform. it is important that we modernize our statutes to ensure benefits partity. i would like to thank the gentlewoman from illinois for working on this issue and mr. wenstrup for introducing the bill. for k ms. kuster co-sponsoring this bill and ra

calvert: can i inquire how much time i have left? the chair: the gentleman has one minute remaining. mr. calvert: thank you. one thing i want to make a point of because obviously this is a problem, 0% of all our spending s nondiscretionary spending. ow it's 30% discretionary, 70% discretionary. of the discretionary account, half goes to defense, the other half to nondiscretionary. no way to balance the budget on nondefense discretionary spending. somehow we need to come together, republicans, democrats, prts, and come to a budget agreement that's been try -- it's been tried before, it needs to be tried again. and the 70% of nondiscretionary spending has to be on the table and we have to bend this cost curve. we're not going to -- and i dispute the fact that we're at an all-time high on n.e.h. and n.e.a. in past years those numbers were quite higher. those numbers have been cut down over the years and we're trying to do the best we can in these discretionary accounts. but we want -- this is not, i think, a wise cut. money goes to ever

i had friends that never got feedback. there were times i was on set, you get the edit, holy crap, i looked awful. that tape is so bad, why did they keep that? they doesn't have any feedback. larry, would do a roundtable with us, you francesca, get it out of your head, flub a line, edit. i would be so hard on myself. iti would be overthinking every single thing. i also as you all know i was twitter throwing blows after every episode. what i meant was this. [laughter]. onede time, larry, you spend a t of time on twitter. i said, oh. he is seeing me like argue with racists on twitter, she knows. we would be i would be like -- [laughter]. what people don't know we would tape for 20 minutes, that round table. it would get edited down to two or four minutes. the audience has no idea, like, all of the things i said that didn't make it on there, or sometimes they would take a question and cut it to give the answer from a different question. so sometimes it might look like i didn't know what i was talking about? >> yikes. >> i can't throw my job u

during which you did not visit russia i think it was twelve or maybe even twenty years at a time that you stayed away from this country was there any particular reason for that you know when i left russia i came back to los angeles i had my daughter and i kind of became a full time mother and again things had changed you know i was lucky that i lived through russia really three three different periods i was there under communism i was there through glass dos and i was there and capitalism and communism was really interesting for me because it was kind of you know close but behind closed doors there were parties and all this interesting stuff was happening you know the favorite time was when the russian people seen the happiest because nothing had changed much except for they could speak more freely and say things but then the last period was capitalism and that was a difficult time in the ninety's with capitalism it was it was kind of crazy so when i left russia i refocused my life on being a mother and because there wasn't internet and we weren't connected the way we are today. it ju

i have my time. i know how to work my time. i'm good at this, like trump. i know how to work the tv. right now, i'm supporting dr. marshall. i knew him when he first came to the police commission. i go back further than he did, but he's doing a wonderful job. i talked to him in fillmore and said, when will you retire? he said, i ain't going to retire until i change things. i said, you will probably be old and gray. because things won't get changed in my lifetime or your lifetime. we deal with a racist part of the city, the police department. but i admire him for wanting to complete it. i'm ace and i'm on the case and i support him. there are some things that he talked about that we'll talk about later, but i cannot say it in 50 seconds, but i'm here to say it to the city and county of san francisco by the bay, where they think everything's okay. but this year and the next year, you will hear what i got to say. i'm going to start my own tv show. it's called ace. i have 30 seconds. don't mess with me, supervisor. that's what i'm doing this. i started the gover

smith: i yield time to the chairman. the chair: the gentleman yields to the gentleman from california. mr. calvert: i rise in support of the gentleman's amendment. suing the government and settling has become a lucrative business. which is supported by taxpayer dollars. the endangered species act, for example, has become wrapped around the axel of the judicial branch or judicial system by excessive litigation. we're essentially paying people to sue the federal government. this needs to stop. i urge an aye vote on the amendment and i yield back. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman is recognized from missouri. mr. smith: the sue and settle practice cuts stakeholders and the public out of the regulatory process. it undermines the article one authority we hold here in congress. by restricting the payment of legal fees, we take away the incentive for these environmental advocacy groups to sue the federal government and we protect public input in the rulemaking process. i urge a yes vote

i wear heels all the time, i always wear heels all the time. i never wore heels during that time. because you were running between committee meetings and hearings and markups on the floor. it was just insane. i remember, there's actually a really funny saturd"saturday ni live" clip with chris farley being newt newt, with just family, medical, passed, and with all the excitement that comes with being in the majority and the optimism and enthusiasm that came with that. but just think about ten major pieces of legislation happening in a hundred days. it was crazy. >> and what role did women republican members play during that leadership? >> women on committees, certainly being spokespeople. you know, there was never, ever an issue of if there was a press conference to be held that women needed to be there and women needed to be spokespeople and if a woman felt particularly strong about it, we were going to just get that woman up there. you -- i mean -- i don't mean to make this sound like it was all so great and easy, but you did not wait your turn, because you were a female, right? t

young: i claim time in opposition. i understand the intent of my good friend's amendment but i reluctantly oppose it. the amendment would begin to unravel i believe the council structure that was made in the magnuson-stevens act. the gold standard at best rows to fsa. fish stocks go up and down the atlantic in states invested in shared fishing resources is a goal we all share. that is why congress authorized the atlantic mid states marine commission and my bill creates a liaison from new england council and vice versa. these two mechanisms adequately address overlapping fisheries without undermining the council structure. and for those reasons, i urge my colleagues to oppose the amendment. and i reserve. the chair: the gentleman from alaska reserves. the gentleman from rhode island is recognized. mr. langevin: i would like to point out to my friend and there is precedent for such a change. 1996 we amended fisheries law to ensure that north carolina could enter into the regional fishery council. it is not unprecedented.

i saw them when they were near my vehicle. unfortunately motorola had a ddos attack during the time that i was in there, so by the time that i got out, it was already hooked up. so where i ran into trouble is the fact that i called them multiple times for several hours and there was no communication back whatsoever. i ended up having to call the sfpd line so that i could get the address because at that time, there was no address on google maps or their website. actually, they didn't even have a website. so i go there the next day, early in the morning, and what ended up happening is i tried to get the property agreement because upon arrival, you are allowed to get the property agreement as well as a written authorization of the tow. they were unable to provide me with either of those things. i had to actually call the non-emergency line, which is right here. this is just the c.a.d. number, so that they could actually give me the proper paperwork. i eventually did get a property agreement, however, the property agreement that they gave me was the incorrect property agreement. see, i was towed from the burger king on valencia stre

i remember one time, i guess we were married.we were going to go to a movie or out to dinner when i got a call that there was going to be an emergency meeting on something. you can look at somebody and say, i'm so sorry but this just came up and it is very important in my district. and he would say, of course. he was totally understand. then having to live with my dad who says, i think my daughter is running for governor. my dad would announce that so the press before we had a discussion. but to have somebody who understood it and respected it, made it so much easier. once in a while, the travel would be an issue, right? when we had susan, i would take her, but we would go back to our districts. that was the only challenging part. but in terms of having someone who knows what you are going through, no, no, no. it is a gift. >> a couple of years later, you had your daughter. you are one of a small group of women in office, in the house, to give birth. what was the response of your colleagues when he heard you were pregnant? rep. m

and i yield back my time. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from texas seek recognition? mr. poe: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute, without objection. mr. poe: thank you, mr. speaker. loia, when she was 13 years age, in school, daily bullying started. then her relationship with her mother became worse. so she dropped out of school, took drugs, and eventually joined a gang. eventually her new found friends introduced her to a game where she walked up and down the streets under the constant watch of her own owners. she was the victim of human trafficking. they manipulated her youth and stole her innocence on the marketplace of sex slavery. my legislation, the abolishing the trafficking act, will increase prosecutions for perpetrators of human trafficking like the slave traders who trafficked her. and hold those accountable for the crimes of sex

the chair recognizes the gentleman from ohio to claim time in opposition. >> i claim time in opposition to the amendment as a certified public accountant, businessman, and a member of the ways and means committee, i was proud to work on the bill. president trump signed the bill which delivered historic tax relief to workers families and local job creators. the typical family of four in my district has experienced a tax cut of $2,770. for some reason my friends on the other side of the aisle scoff at this fact. additionally i have heard countless stories from business owners, both large and small, responding to the new tax law by increasing investments into their own employees and into expanding operations. let's talk about this key component of the legislation that made it easier for every day americans to file their tax return. i'm a cpa. i had those individuals come to my office that had complicated tax returns. here's an interesting statistic that we don't want to seem to talk about. the joint tax commission reported before this tax bill 70% of americans did not qualify for the stand

but i thought about writing a book for a long, long period of time, long period of time. so it all started in this fashion. sam jones called my office and sonja, who is my signature, did no sam jones was. who was sam jones calling you? i said, sampley for the celtics and we were good friends, and he wanted to tell me that he had written a book. he was going to have a book signing at the boston garden. so i called such and i said let's go to the gain because sam jones has got a book and we can see him and talk about it. sam and i gone to brazil together for the alliance for progress and within clinics in brazil. so we go to the gain, and mark is with sam, and we start talking and i say, you know, mark, i was thinking of writing a book and need someone to work with you to help you. so what do you think? i i called a couple of friends f mine who knew mark, one was a guy named frank novak, frank was a professional football coach. frank coach for the oilers and the green bay packers, and his head coach at northern michigan university in my coaching days, he had fixed up games f
