Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor a dear friend, Maureen ‘Mo' Gilman, who retired on March 17 as the Legislative Director of the National Treasury Employees Union.

Thank you for the opportunity to speak to you today. Last July, I gave a speech at Georgetown Law School to introduce a set of proposals aimed at renewing Americans' faith in their government.

Today, Governor Larry Hogan met with Secretary Tom Price, just one day ahead of a scheduled House vote on Republicans' TrumpCare bill.

We are here to ask Governor Hogan to join the growing opposition to Congressional Republicans' dangerous ACA repeal bill.

I rise in opposition to this bill and adopt many of the premises that my friend, Mr. Walz, adopted.

I am extremely concerned with the Trump Administration's budget proposal for fiscal year 2018, which not only shows a lack of detail, but an extreme disinvestment in our nation.

We are disappointed that today's announcement from the General Services Administration does not include a site designation for the new, fully consolidated FBI headquarters.

I was pleased to visit NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center this afternoon to receive an update on the James Webb Space Telescope, and learn more about the satellite servicing done by the space scientists and engineers at NASA Goddard.
