I would like to remind you, sir, that you are under oath when you come here, and that there is a statute of limitations when you mislead a Congressional Committee.

now is the time that we can establish a close, and new, and positive relationship with Russia

Today's topic is Islamic Extremism in Chechnya: A Threat to the U.S. Homeland?

Okay, also will the research plan examine recycling of wastewater that would be produced in the fracking process?

My constituents in California are particularly concerned about the possibility of manmade earthquakes.

That will usher us into an era of violence and mayhem that will be hard to get out of.
