Many times, Congress didn't intend.

I just want to make a statement about Government investment in infrastructure, the space program, the hundreds of millions of dollars that the Federal Government, through taxpayer money, spent to prepare to turn that industry over to the…

I think most Americans and most Members of Congress are very concerned.

At what point will all this come out--you are saying their religious affiliation, their languages spoken. At what point will it come out?

When you give us assurances that you are not going to use this information, like personally identifiable information, all we really have to go on is that in the Federal Register, your agency has asked permission to collect all this…

Wouldn't it be a better approach to say, 'Take all that out, and then send it to us?'

But removing all that information you promise us that you don't want, you don't need, you are not going to share, why even receive that information?

Thank you for the billions of dollars' worth of refunds that you have gotten for the American people. I do appreciate that.

I am concerned about the impact of the merger, and we have had some conversations with both sides on this...

if my income tax is going to New York and my children are being paid for teachers in Alabama, that just doesn't seem fair.

So this is to not create any kind of double taxation or deprive any particular state of the ability to collect income tax.

This is not a revenue raising bill. This is a bill to bring some uniformity to the 50 states...

And, boy, this comes pretty close to a burden on interstate commerce.

I cannot stand by and support legislation that would dismantle government and a century of progress under the guise of symmetrical enforcement.

I will yield to the gentleman in just a minute. If I have time left, I would be glad to. Mr. Chairman, imagine. This project in 1998 began to receive authorization and funding, but it just started this month. These were people…

I want to thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Marino) for introducing this legislation. It will reduce the time it takes to review new construction projects and ensure that the permitting process is not endlessly held up in courts…

I thank the chairman. Mr. Chairman, one thing that I think we all, Republicans and Democrats, agree on is that you can't have a world-class economy with a third world infrastructure, and in many cases, that is what we have today. Putting…

But our response wasn't to go to Mexico or China. Well, it was, really. Our response was to raise our standards or tighten our standards to be three times more stringent than the EU. It would have cost all the profits of the cement…

Let me say this: the gentleman from Georgia has talked about these regulations all being necessary, but the President himself on the campaign trail said we need to repeal unnecessary Federal regulations. He stood right here in the House…

I thank the chairman. Madam Chairman, when the law is against you, argue the facts. When the facts are against you, argue the law. When the law and the facts are against you, yell like hell and call your opponent names; and that is what we…

I will tell you. One thing this taxing policy may be doing, it may be driving companies to become basically internet companies.

No child is unwanted. Let me repeat that. No child is unwanted. There are millions of American couples today that are waiting to give these unborn children a home--a loving home. I don't know all the circumstances, but I do know that a lot…

Almost every day I get solicitations, as do most Americans, for financial products that appear to be sponsored or promoted by the government.

Many people--my constituents and others--get calls from card servicers, which are--it is a fraudulent enterprise, I think.
