I want to echo Senator Booker's comments on the importance of investments to protect life and property along our coasts.

What I am hearing is that the Army Corps is running low on funds to complete disaster repairs.

It is beaches and dunes that protect us and help us to save money when we get hit by a big one.

Thanks, Mr. Chairman.

by doing this, if we actually provide some more resources for IRS, it actually helps us reduce our budget deficit in the end.

if we could actually pass that, use that money, at least for a while, for infrastructure, that would be fine by me.

We do not have enough folks at the IRS there to answer questions, be good on the phone, help taxpayers with their concerns.

if you do nothing else on health care reform, the one thing you need to do is to make sure that at some point in time, when the cost of health care coverage for a person, for a policy, reached a high level, at some point in time it should…

Mr. President, the Senator, my colleague from Delaware, and I are close friends and we ride the same train together a lot of days, coming and going to Delaware. I would like to think that we think alike and share a lot of the same values…

Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the life of Vernon J. Alston, a U.S. Capitol Police Officer for 20 years and a constituent of mine from Delaware. Sadly, Mr. Alston left us far too soon, at the age of 44. Vernon Alston came from a military…

We are so lucky that you are willing to serve this country.
