And that goes back to the business model that I think we're going to have to develop...

I'm glad we're going to do a second round because I want to continue to ask you, along this line...

Is there enough capacity to supply our domestic needs, whether it's TSA or local law enforcement?

Well, one of the things that we were talking about earlier, and Congressman Rogers brought this up...

the Federal Government has spent more than $6 billion on settlements to utilities for the failure to collect nuclear waste.

since 2009, the Federal Government's liabilities have escalated from $12 billion to over $30 billion.

that's money we have to borrow.

I want to remind people of what former Mayor Gray wrote in his letter: ``Religious organizations, religiously affiliated organizations, religiously driven for-profit entities, and political organizations may have strong First Amendment and…

In spite of numerous requests--with all due respect to the gentlewoman from Colorado and the distinguished Delegate from the District of Columbia--in spite of numerous requests, no exemptions were included in the Reproductive Health…

My amendment would prohibit funds from being used to implement the District of Columbia's Reproductive Health Non-Discrimination Amendment Act of 2014, or RHNDA. This law prevents religious and pro-life advocacy organizations from making…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of division D (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

Again, I appreciate the response of the chairman, who, I again want to reiterate, has done a fine job in the appropriations process, and I appreciate his concerns about this. I intend to meet with Secretary Pruitt. I have known him for…

I appreciate the chairman's great work on the appropriations bill and have great respect for him, but I would like to respond to some of the comments. This is not a cut to the EPA's budget. This is a redirection of funds away from a…

The Environmental Protection Agency spends as much as $50 million a year to employ nearly 200 armed agents at an average cost of $216,000 per year, per agent. In total, over the period from fiscal year 2006 to 2015, the EPA spent an…

I was one of the Republican baseball players that was on the field. I was 20 steps from the guy when he started shooting, and it was clear that he was incited by certain speech.

I think this hearing is very important. I think the main thing that students ought to get and all of us ought to get is to deny ourselves access to other people's views is to deny ourselves furthering our own education.

This idea that denying students the opportunity to hear views or ideas that are contrary to what they believe, these safe spaces, I think are dangerous.

I just want to thank the students for coming, and I hope you look back on this and count this as one of the best days in your education that you have ever had.

It is time for the Federal Government to move away from emphasizing its role as prosecutor or political monitor and return to serving as the American people's partner in setting priorities that best represent their interest.

the point and focus of this hearing is the abuse of consent decrees, and I think we got a little off-track on that

you want that transparency and that accountability to the voters, which is denied them when they are under a consent decree

It has had a negative impact on the ability to grow the economy.

The primary problem is regulation.
