I thank Congressman Walker for arranging this Special Order. Looking ahead, H.R. 850, the Agency Accountability Act, would be a game changer for government run amuck. In 2015, Federal agencies collected over $530 billion--that is billion…
I thank the gentleman from Texas for yielding and allowing me to complete my remarks on this Special Order organized by Congressman Walker. As I was saying, if you recall the 2014 debate over funding for the Department of Homeland…
As tragic as the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry is, the deaths of so many other people, not citizens of the United States, as a result of having access to firearms provided by an agency of the United States, the fact that that is…
It was an important issue to President Obama in July of 2010. He signed a bill, the Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act, because it is a drain on our resources.
As a person who grew up pretty much dirt poor, I can tell you that work is the right path.

where lawmaking and appropriating is taking place outside of elected government, that it could deny people their right to representative government.
I would like to enter into the record this document that shows that our average growth since--for the 7 years has been 3.21 percent.
Did one of our colleagues on the other side say that she had never seen economic growth of 3 percent?
I applaud the President for taking our national security threats seriously and for responding in a serious way.
The administration has an emphasis on Buy American. It just seems to me it would make sense that you would prefer American dogs and American-trained dogs over foreign-sourced dogs.
You haven't fulfilled all your contracts. That is part of what bothers me is we don't have the perimeter security that I think is necessary at our airports and our rail transportation and other transportation hubs.
It concerns me that we are not doing that in light of what happened in Brussels.
I thank Congressman Ratcliffe and the committee for their work on this bill. The internet is an ever-increasing medium for criminals to carry out crimes, such as sex trafficking, credit card theft, and identity theft. We are currently…
