In the area of getting into non-discretionary funding, nearly 5 percent of NASA's budget proposal is comprised of funding gimmicks, I believe, which are contingent upon tax increases and other legislation that is yet or maybe will never be…

I find it disturbing that NASA's true priorities are not better reflected in an honest budget.

We all want to get rid of them, but we have to be measured in how we do it.

the discretionary budget request proposes, which I mentioned in my opening statement, to cut SLS by $770 million, and Orion by $217 million.

Well, I think we have a lot of work to do in the subcommittee, but with Senator Mikulski's experience and help, maybe we can work through it.

Asking for less invites delay, increased costs, and inefficient program management, I believe.

I think American industry has risen to the occasion when you look at Blue Origin and Jeff Bezos and what he is doing with ULA and the team there, to help develop a new launch system.

The truth is that NASA's request is only $18.26 billion, a cut of $1 billion from what this subcommittee provided in the last fiscal year.

I think that decisions are best made when they are made on the local level.

That is why I support this legislation to delay the enforcement of the new EPA rule until all of the legal challenges have been concluded. This is a necessary and commonsense bill. I ask my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on final passage. I…

Today I rise to voice my support for H.R. 4557, the BRICK Act. I want to tell a story about a small company in my hometown of Selma, Alabama. Henry Brick Company has been a family-owned business since 1945, providing jobs and economic…

They brought up the EPA over and over again. I hear about the EPA everywhere I go.

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 635 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 635 Resolved, That upon adoption of this resolution it shall be in order to…

House Resolution 635 provides for consideration of H.R. 4557, the Blocking Regulatory Interference from Closing Kilns Act of 2016. The resolution provides for a closed rule. No amendments are made in order, as none were filed with the…

I was very interested to hear my colleague talk about what makes the American people frustrated and angry right now. I have just come through a primary campaign for my seat in Alabama. I spent a lot of time with the citizens of the United…

The American people are sick and tired of a Federal Government that is out of control. I can't imagine the Founders of this country in that constitutional convention in Philadelphia in 1787 saying: Now, let's think about a government…

I believe you will have the necessary congressional support.

the President's fiscal year 2016 budget request and out-year spending profiles represent a good faith effort given our financial difficulties.
