Somebody needs to own that.

Mr. Speaker, for years Americans across the country have struggled under a government takeover of health care. Because of ObamaCare, insurance markets are collapsing, healthcare costs are soaring, and patients' choices are dwindling…

Mr. Speaker, March is National Reading Month, and students across the country often kick off this observance by celebrating the birthday of treasured children's author Dr. Suess. Last week I visited Forsyth Academy in Winston-Salem, North…

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a North Carolina legend as he celebrates his 90th birthday this week. Mr. Carl Lamm, who many know as ``the Voice of Johnston County,'' has been a pioneer of the country music radio scene since 1946…

Mr. Speaker, tomorrow, March 3, is Employee Appreciation Day; and since we won't be in session, I rise today to register my appreciation for the staff members who allow me to serve the people of the Fourth District of North Carolina. The…

Mr. Chairman, again, nothing in the SCRUB Act does anything to remove any of the protections that already exist for whistleblowers. This essentially makes it open for review, but, more importantly, as I agree with my colleague from…

Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the motion. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Florida is recognized for 5 minutes.

Mr. Chairman, let me begin by saying that my colleague from Maryland, the ranking member of the full committee, has been and continues to be probably one of the strongest advocates for whistleblower protections, and I thank him and laud…

Mr. Chairman, everybody wants to see gainful employment for our students, our college students especially. Those institutions that have preyed on these students also are as a result of a regulatory environment that has allowed that to…

Mr. Chairman, the regulations that we are talking about in the GAO report that are so ineffective, that have been a failure, are those regulations that have been imposed by unelectable bureaucrats in the bureaucracy that we are trying to…

Mr. Chair, this amendment would exclude from the commission's review regulations under title I, part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended. ESEA provides financial assistance to local educational agencies and schools…

Mr. Speaker, it is interesting because creatively my friend from Maryland is trying to do unsuccessfully what they have done all along unsuccessfully, and that is just create a carve-out of regulations for review by the SCRUB Act. Now…

Mr. Chairman, this bill, again, requires the commission to identify regulations which should be repealed. The commission focuses on rules and regulations that are, again, out-of-date, no longer necessary, no longer useful, or otherwise…

Mr. Chairman, this amendment is the prime example of why we need the SCRUB Act. ``Federal Management of Programs that Serve Tribes'' was added to the Government Accountability Office biannual high-risk report released earlier this month…

Mr. Chair, I rise in opposition to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Florida is recognized for 5 minutes.
