What David P. Joyce said, and what was done

“Mr. Chair, I rise in support of this amendment, and I thank my friend, Representative Mast, and my friend, Representative Titus, for their leadership on this issue and for their continued advocacy on behalf of our Nation's veterans.”

“Mr. Speaker, I am proud to rise today in strong support of my legislation, the Combating Organized Retail Crime Act. Organized retail crime is far beyond isolated shoplifting.”

“Mr. Chair, I thank Chairman Cole for yielding but mostly for his leadership together with the ranking member, the lovely Ms. DeLauro, Senate Appropriations Chairwoman Collins and Vice Chair Murray, and Senate Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee Chairman Hagerty and Ranking Member Reed.”

“Act. This legislation funds the Department of the Treasury, the Executive Office of the President, the Federal judiciary, the District of Columbia, and more than 20 independent commissions, departments, and agencies.”

“If he would like me to yield to him now, I will. If not, I want to thank him for his leadership of our committee, which has been collegial and positive.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank my distinguished colleague from the State of Michigan for yielding. He certainly is a class act. I am proud to join my friend Representative Rulli in supporting this effort to protect our children and national security from dangerous foreign actors.”

“Mr. Chairman, what else can I say after hearing the true story of a true American hero and why it should be important for all people--Floridians, every veteran--to be able to access cannabis if, in fact, it is necessary and prescribed by a doctor and if it helps them treat whatever they have come home with?”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of S. 331, the HALT Fentanyl Act. This bipartisan bill will save lives by providing critical tools for law enforcement to combat the ongoing opioid crisis across our country.”
