The IG of Amtrak produced a very good report.

we've lost a billion dollars in 12 years in food--Amtrak food service.

For us to not have made a decision and that we're making the decision but that decision hasn't been made yet is unacceptable.

I happen to believe that our space effort is actually as important as American foreign policy to our future.

Oh, folks, hang on to your shorts on this one. By the time you get the IT in place and the money you are going to spend, and then by the time you get OPM up and running, I mean, you can't even get the personnel to do the manual processing…

What is the remedy? I mean ----

I just want to know what we are doing preemptively to help people who have been hacked who have worked for the Federal Government or are working for the Federal Government.

I guaran-damn-tee you--and put that in the record, it is a new word--that this will continue to be a disaster the way it sounds like you are putting it together.

It is a half a million backlogs right now. We don't have a system in place.

They spent a quarter of a billion dollars setting that up, and then now they are still doing it by hand.

I think we have reached the absolute bottom of the pit.

It is disheartening when a member of--when a representative of our Government can't say radical Islamic terrorism and at the same time can't make a decision whether Christians are being targeted for genocide.

It's time for America to act and the excuse that we've got to study it, we got to ask the lawyers what the wording is, is this really preference or not, is unacceptable.

Are you unable to say radical Islamic terrorism, as our President is unable to say?

Mr. Secretary, the whole world knows that Christians are being slaughtered in the Middle East. It's clear.

I would think that the problem of not being able to accomplish our missions is--can be found right here in the fact that our judgment has been to try to do things we can't do while defunding those things we can do.

I think what is counterintuitive is that the Chinese Government is actually very helpful.

So four out of five recalls come from imported products and, not surprisingly, a very large percentage of those are from China.
