I yield myself 30 seconds. Again, just to deal with facts and reality, I think Mr. Cantor, myself, and others on the Republican side support transportation, building the country's infrastructure and jobs. But we have to look at what took…

I was thinking how do you get all these regulations. We are deluged with thousands of Federal regulations.

We are strangling the Nation in bureaucracy and regulations.

I yield myself 15 seconds. Just to set the record straight, I went to the Democrat side, the other side of the aisle, when we proposed the stimulus legislation. I asked to double the amount for infrastructure. I think I got 14 or more…

I yield myself 1 minute. Again, I enjoy working with the ranking member, Mr. Rahall, and just wanted to comment on his discussion of the FAA shutdown. Just for the record, the facts are that the House of Representatives, in a bipartisan…

I yield myself 1 minute. Again, I think it's important that we pass this bipartisan extension. We wouldn't be here passing a combination of the transportation, highway, transit and FAA extensions if we hadn't taken action that was…

Clearly, Madoff was not empowered by a lack of loss. He was empowered by a lack of enforcement.

I support fiduciary standards, but they must be clear, they must be unambiguous, and they must not be conflicting.

It should certainly be unwise and improper for us to discard the ability of States to protect the safety of their own citizens.

I believe this bill is a step backwards in an effort to enhance gun safety, because it would overrule existing judgments enacted by States controlling who should be allowed to carry concealed weapons within their borders.

Can you please provide this committee with a progress report regarding the updated MOU between DHS and State?
