We hope that these new technologies can yield even greater returns in the future.

the fraud, waste, and abuse rampant in our Medicare program.

I hope we hear about the steps that can be taken to further combat fraud.

Our government simply must do better.

One of the great benefits of natural gas extraction and the impact it is having on the economy of my home State of Pennsylvania, as well as the Nation, is the benefit it provides to our manufacturing sector.

We have our own major shale play in Pennsylvania that is now making meaningful contributions to our Nation's natural gas supply.

the less Federal Government in my life, the better.

I understand that some industries that rely on natural gas as a feedstock or energy uses are concerned that new demand for natural gas by the transportation sector, or an aggressive move to export natural gas, might dramatically increase…

I am frustrated that last night, we saw the IRS commissioner continue to obstruct Congress's investigation into the IRS's targeting of conservative groups by a crashed hard drive and lost e-mails.

Let the record show that since 2006, there has been an increase of over 9,000 CBP Agents in this country since 2006 to now. Over 9,000 more agents to secure our border, and our border is less secure today, I think, than it ever has been.

If you enter the United States illegally of any age, you will be deported back to your home country.

We have laws on the books. The 2006 Secure Fence Act.

Regardless of how we feel about immigration reform in this country, how can we sit by and watch our country's National sovereignty, my country's National sovereignty violated over and over and over on our Southern Border?
