A 1-percent increase in interest is more than twice--is not quite twice as much as the sequester.

There is so much pressure to spend, to spend, to spend, and simply the Nation has got to rise up to that and be responsible in the actions that we take.

Do not come. It is unlawful to come. You cannot come to the country without lawful permission.

The first thing a law enforcement officer should seek to do is to create a climate that reduces lawlessness, not encourage it.

Lawlessness begets violence.

Your leadership and the President's leadership has failed to send a clear message throughout the world that you can only come to the United States lawfully; you cannot come unlawfully.

Congratulations, Chairman Macfarlane, you took over a difficult challenge.

Mr. Ostendorff, they recommended the process you have adopted for pool storage, a majority of the Commission of four to one voted to adopt that process.

I just think that is transparent. Now we are going to have a nearby city extort the power company for whatever ideas they may have that may not be in the public interest and result in much less likelihood, in my view, that we could have…

According to the Energy Information Agency, the industry produces 20 percent of all our electricity and 60 percent of all carbon free electricity.

I do believe it should never be forgotten that despite all the dangers and lives lost in other energy sources, we have never had an individual lost or killed as a result of a nuclear power generating accident, zero, and one have been made…

The nuclear industry, I have to say, represents a vital part of our energy mix.

The continued work of the NRC to follow the D.C. Circuit Court's order in Aiken County regarding the licensing of Yucca Mountain is of vital importance.

I really think, colleagues, that creating a situation in which States, cities and counties can now impose regulations on building of a nuclear power plant or the decommissioning of it in retrospect is bad policy. I strongly oppose that. I…

In a week when the President has unveiled regulations demanding a 30 percent reduction from 2005 levels of CO2 by 2030, we surely should be discussing the role that nuclear power can play in reaching those goals.

The time that we can intimidate people who present scientific papers that disagree with the current idea that is in fashion needs to be over.

We do not need to tolerate the President of the United States falsely asserting the status of climate in America.

Harvesting it and making it this wood and putting it in this building for a hundred years, has reduced carbon in the atmosphere.

The average median income for working Americans today is $2,400 below what it was in 2007.

President Obama has twice claimed that temperatures are rising faster than predicted, even over the last 10 years, he said.

Unemployment remains high, and we simply cannot regulate an imposed cost on American industry to the extent to which they cannot compete in the world market and damage our economy.

All I am saying is, I don't know, maybe this is a temporary pause in some of the climate change that has been projected.

When I came here, I felt a bit aggrieved.

You are a national leader, and I am concerned about a few things.

I do believe the NRC has a proven record of success in regulating these matters.
