I would once again call on this Congress to pass H.R. 1173, a bill that my good friend and fellow physician Dr. Boustany has introduced to repeal the CLASS Act.

CLASS does not work. The administration cannot fix it without massive taxpayer bailouts.

I don't think CLASS should be rewritten or redesigned by the bureaucracy.

I thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania. What he is referring to also is taking care of our infrastructure, which has aged so much, and it's just a massive problem. I know it is something that the Transportation and Infrastructure…

I thank my friend from Pennsylvania for his leadership on this legislation. I think you are absolutely right that this is a bipartisan moment here in the House, Members from both sides of the aisle coming together around a common goal…

We feel very strongly that this can be implemented. And we don't want to give up.

We must treat our waters with the same sense of value that we give all other resources.

No industrial endeavor is entirely without risk, so we must strive for prudent development and proper monitoring.

Controls are needed to secure the quality and quantity of all water resources--underground or surface.

While I support the development of our natural gas resources, Pennsylvania still bears the scars of mining and drilling from decades past.

You've blown a hole in the budget up there and you've authored in Obamacare which is going to blow a hole in the budget of this country.

I wished to respond to my colleague from Arizona on a couple points. I rise in opposition to his amendment. I think there is a lot we agree on, based on the remarks he gave about making sure the program works and is efficient and delivers…
