Mr. President, the country is debating a lot of issues. We passed the health care bill last year. Now there is an effort in the House to repeal and replace it. I join my House colleagues with the idea that we should start over and come up…

A lot of comparison was made to Communist China.

I think this is something we should be looking at; this is something we should be talking about.

It's hard enough for American companies to compete already. The Chinese Yuan is 40 percent undervalued.

At the end of the day, the whole process has a conclusion to it. We're about to spend $35 billion of taxpayers' money here and quite frankly, I think it is important.

You cannot oppose funding and then criticize that Amtrak does not provide a good service.

Before we award this contract, I want to make sure that what we're doing here, Mr. Chairman, doesn't set a precedent for the future.

Congress must reject privatization of the Northeast Corridor.

We need more penalties.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of a grassroots movement that is currently taking place all across our great Nation, the celebration of National School Choice Week. In many States across the country, events are being held to promote…

What do we do? We need to speak with one voice.

The government's behavior is unacceptable in this day and age, and the regime must be held accountable for its actions.

We should be adopting policies toward Belarus based on what happens inside Belarus not through a Russia prism.

Europe and the United States share a common set of values and we have a long history that is founded on the ideas of freedom and economic opportunity.

How big a factor are they in creating dangers in other parts of the world?

What do we need to be doing to assist the people to make sure they know the world is supporting their freedom?

His response was essentially, if you will pardon the expression, a middle finger to the United States and to the European Union.

Thank you, Madam Chairman.
