What I am saying is in business the idea of a safety culture is not new, not by any stretch of the imagination.

I want to make sure we do everything within our ability through the trans-Atlantic relationship to expel Russian troops out of Crimea.

Count me amongst them, in the sense that only 2 weeks ago Russia had the President of the Ukraine essentially under their thumb both economically and politically.

Mr. Chairman, I rise today in support of H.R. 3826. I appreciate the work that the bills's sponsor, Mr. Whitfield, has done on this issue, and I am proud to be an original cosponsor of this bill. Wisconsin relies on coal for roughly…

I come from a fairly, I think, unique perspective, is that I am a small-business owner of a specialty printing firm who is a union shop.

You know, my perspective, I guess, as an employer--let me just take the broader on this.

One of the things that we have talked about tonight is the value of why we want to increase the minimum wage, why it is going to put money into the economy right now. Again, this isn't the Democrats saying that. These are economic experts…

Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the Progressive Caucus. The Progressive Caucus wants to discuss with the American public issues that are important, that are timely, and that should be happening in this current Congress. Tonight we…

I thank my friend from California. What you said is worth repeating. Volkswagen put out a formal denial of the claim, making clear that there was absolutely no link between the vote and the placement of the SUV facility in Chattanooga, yet…

Mr. Nolan, I think what you are referring to is exactly what the Democrats are doing this week. We are initiating a discharge petition. We need to get 218 Members of this House to sign that to force a vote. The House leadership has refused…

So what you just said, talking about the buying power, putting that much money back into the economy, you know, I look at it this way. If you are someone who is making minimum wage and you get your wage increased to about $10.10, that…

Thank you very much again, gentleman. I appreciate it. I would also like to yield some time to another one of my colleagues, the gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Nolan). He is a freshman, but a returning freshman from the State of Minnesota…

Well, now we have found where there is policy agreement, so let's keep on with this roll.

One of my goals in this effort is to try to avoid the traps of having an omnibus revision of the criminal code becoming a debate on numerous criminal justice policies.

I think this effort will go down in flames, just like the previous ones.

The Honorable F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr., a Representative in Congress from the State of Wisconsin, and Chairman, Over-Criminalization Task Force of 2014.

The criminal code is a mess.
