I represent southeastern North Carolina. I have a lot of families that work two and three jobs to make ends meet.

North Carolina has a proud tradition of food banks. All of our 100 counties are served through seven different banks...

So you give them essentially due process, if you will--

Would you agree, in addition to the regulations, that we ought to just codify that as part of the Dodd-Frank Act...

I am very concerned that there are not guidelines being issued to mitigate the risk for nonbank financial institutions.

I want to make sure both the adults and children in my district will continue to have access to SNAP if they need it.

We will reduce barriers to participation. Working families will have to spend less time off of work.

If a family is eligible because the parent makes very low wages, we would want the children to be able to not experience these multiple months of breaks of assistance.

We believe in these regulations, but when we see these cost estimates coming out that seem immaterial and our numbers are exponentially higher, we think something is fundamentally wrong.

I felt that Senator Mikulski was going to highlight the entrepreneurial spirit of Google being created with Dr. Kirwan.

Yes, I need yeses or noes. I only have 5 minutes.

If you tell the 80-plus people that were facing death about the things we have done, they don't care about that.

Do you expect the same response this time?

I want to personally start out by thanking the ranking member, my good friend Gerry Connolly.

So WMATA should have known that the track was energized, not energized?

So there are recommendations that you deemed important that they did not respond to?

Is it really a resource problem or a management problem?

How many people have to die and how many events do we have to have before we can answer that question?
