What Jefferson Shreve said, and what was done

“Mr. Chair, I rise in strong support of fiscal year 2027 National Security and Department of State Appropriations Act. This legislation candidly and simply delivers on conservative promises, helps put America first while conducting vigorous oversight of our foreign assistance programs.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember Brett Scrogham, a young Hoosier from Greenwood, Indiana, whose life was taken in Indianapolis nearly 2 weeks ago. Brett was 23 years old.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in vigorous support for the 2027 Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act. This bill delivers for Indiana servicemembers, our veterans, military families, and our taxpayers.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Daniel J. Riley for his decades of distinguished service to the City of Greenfield and the State of Indiana. Mr.”

“Mr. Speaker, last night the country watched something nobody predicted: Indiana, national football champions. Our Hoosiers beat Miami 27-21, and finished a perfect season and brought the title home to Indiana.”

“Madam Speaker, had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 32. Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Madam Speaker, I attended an official meeting that did not end on time and was not able to reach the House Chamber before the first vote of the series closed.”

“Mr. Speaker, across my home State of Indiana, I hear the same thing time and again. People work hard. They pay their taxes, and they expect Washington to treat their dollars with respect.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the Affordable HOMES Act. Indiana ranks fourth in the Nation in manufactured home production and in Indiana's Sixth District, 7,000 manufactured homes provide key housing to our citizens.”

“Mr. Speaker, a simple principle should guide us: where we live should not determine the quality of healthcare that we can get, but for too many Hoosiers, especially in our rural communities, this isn't the reality.”

“Mr. Speaker, before I was able to vote, the vote was closed. Had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 362, H.R. 498.”

“Madam Speaker, just a year ago, I was sworn in in this Chamber to represent the good people of Indiana's Sixth District. Since then, I have traveled the district from Columbus to Rushville, Connersville to Winchester, listening to Hoosiers.”

“Mr. Speaker, for the first time in my life, Indiana University has won the Big Ten football championship outright, beating formerly number one Ohio State 13-10. The pundits said Ohio State brought the third-most talented roster in the country.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize a fellow Hoosier and Purdue University engineer, Mr. Yuri Kubo. Yuri is a native of Columbus, Indiana, back in my district. He was recently selected as one of just 10 candidates from a field of 8,000 to join NASA's next astronaut program.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend the air traffic controllers and the men and women of the FAA. For 43 days, while the Democrats kept our government closed, the aviation system that they rely upon and the traveling public depend upon was pushed to the brink.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to reflect on my very recent visit to Israel. It was a humbling journey through the Holy Land, where the history and resilience of the Israeli people left a deep impression.”

“Mr. Speaker, our Department of Defense is charged with protecting America's critical infrastructure. Our current standards are simply insufficient. The United States is vulnerable to attack on our defense infrastructure by our adversaries, as we were reminded of today like no other.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to kick off my Hoosier Heartland Tour. As this Chamber adjourns, I eagerly look forward to beginning my first summer district work period.”

“As I move about Indiana's Sixth District over the weeks to come, I am eager to share this time with our hardworking Hoosiers. For 7 months, I have been working to deliver for our communities.”

“Mr. Chair, my amendment provides $55 million to build a new aviation maintenance hangar and operations building and renovate the existing hangar space at our Shelbyville, Indiana, Army Aviation Support Facility.”

“Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Smith). Madam Speaker, it is an honor to follow some of our Chamber's most distinguished colleagues, including Speaker Mike Johnson, on the anniversary of this historic day.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise to spotlight the over 32,000 honorable Hoosier veterans across Indiana's Sixth District. A recurring theme I have heard from veterans as I move around the district is how difficult it can be to obtain the care that they have earned through their service.”

“Mr. Speaker, Indiana is at the Crossroads of America. The Indianapolis International Airport is in my district. It is one of the reasons we proudly hold the claim to the distinction of Crossroads of America.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise in recognition of our law enforcement community in Indiana's Sixth District and across our Hoosier State. Police Week is a time for all of us to recognize and honor those serving our communities and, most especially, those who have given their lives in the line of duty.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Hoosier basketball star Braylon Mullins of Greenfield, Indiana. Braylon has distinguished himself not only as the best high school basketball player in my home State but as one of the best players in the Nation.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the hundreds of young Hoosiers who just participated in our annual Special Olympics Indiana Youth Basketball Tournament. Basketball is a beloved tradition in my Hoosier State, and this tournament is amongst the largest in North America.”

“Mr. Speaker, the robotics industry is quietly reshaping the manufacturing and distribution economies of Indiana and our world. I rise today to congratulate a team of extraordinary young students at Greenfield-Central High School back home in my district for their winning performance at our Indiana State robotics competition.”

“Mr. Speaker, during this past district work period, I had the opportunity of hosting discussions with business leaders and constituents across Indiana's Sixth District. With our community leaders, we had conversations that focused on the need to extend the progrowth policies of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.”

“Court, which ruled, in 2007, that the Clean Air Act was written broadly enough, at least in that Court's decision, for EPA to regulate greenhouse gases, which include CO2 supposedly as a greenhouse gas--you can debate that if you want--and that EPA must decide if emissions from new motor vehicles endangered public health or welfare.”

“As I mentioned, the U.S. has cut emissions in absolute terms as a share of global emissions since really the 1990s. Despite our increasing population, larger economy, we have been able to accomplish that.”

“Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to honor the memory of a fellow Hoosier, Joey Handlon of Greenwood. He lost his life to fentanyl in 2022. Joey was deeply loved by his parents, Kathy and Jamison Carrier.”
