This MR&T program and the other infrastructure that we have all around the Country is just vital to people's lives.

I am told that there is a 54:1 benefit-to-cost ratio for what we have done so far in the Mississippi River and Tributaries Project.

There is bipartisan support for doing as much as we can as quickly as possible to alleviate the suffering there.

I appreciate Senator Gillibrand mentioning the Island of Vieques and the situation in Puerto Rico.

These are real benefits, real disasters, real damages that haven't happened to people because we are able to do this.

These hackers show no signs of slowing down. Instead, their tactics are growing more aggressive and more sophisticated.

You protect the privacy of your users, even if a Federal agency wants to surveil that public information for anti-terrorism purposes?

If we take your recommendation and restore--and restore over a 10 year period the full use of these revenues, will that get us where we need to be in terms of meeting our funding needs?

We are going to have to come together across the aisle on ways that we can streamline the permitting processes.

OK, so it is your hope that the President's infrastructure plan... that $1 trillion infrastructure plan will be the third step in getting us where we need to be to meet our needs?

I am not advocating doing away with flood control, but it is actually flood control over the centuries and decades that has caused the absence of sediment and the loss of land, is that correct?

Why would we spend billions on a wall in the desert while leaving our ports of entry vulnerable to human smugglers and drug traffickers?

Spending billions on a boondoggle border wall to fulfill a campaign promise is a terrible use of American taxpayer money and bad border policy.

Walls are no panacea for our border security challenges.

This latest effort to use DREAMers as a bargaining chip to fulfill President Trump's fantasy of a closed immigration system and an unnecessary border wall is a new low for this administration.

Rather than pursue the truth on behalf of the American people, House Republicans have waged an aggressive campaign to shut down Congressional and criminal investigations into Russia's attack.

House Republicans have chosen to put President Trump ahead of our National interests.

I am eager to continue working with my colleagues on the Committee, as well as Representative Speier, whose ME TOO Congress Act has offered a perfect starting point for crafting more important comprehensive reform legislation.
