This DCP will provide certainty to Arizonans as to what their water security will look like for future generations and, indeed, for the entire Colorado River Basin states.

Arizona is in the 21st year of a long-term drought. However, Arizona has been able to sustain itself through this drought through implementation of successful conservation programs and robust collaboration between tribal, community…

I think it's no secret to anybody who's watched my performance on this Committee that I've been a longtime critic of the IRIS Program.

I've reintroduced this bill the current Congress, but I doubt for some reason that it'll be reported out of this Committee again anytime soon.

Members have an obligation to know the program and to know the data on Americans' retirement savings and retirement incomes.

To keep them from falling into indigence, I guess, would be the word.

And failure is not a loss for a political party so much as a loss for the American people, who have seen Social Security's unfunded liabilities grow by the trillions while Congress has failed to act.

your suggestion of off-the-record discussions, question-and-answer periods where people can reach out to each other is precisely what is needed to move a bipartisan Social Security reform bill forward.

the household Social Security income declines sharply at widowhood from between 50 percent for a couple that had equal earnings, to about a third for couples where there was just one earner.

The longer we wait, the harder it is going to be.

People said, people should pay in and would get the money back with some reasonable rate of interest.

I thank the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Collins) for yielding me time, and I thank the gentleman from New York (Mr. Nadler) for his comments. We are here today because a Member of this body issued a series of anti-Semitic statements, and I…

Since the United States has a very mobile population--roughly 40 million Americans, or 14 percent of the United States population, move each year--voters rarely inform elected officials when they move, and voters can often be on the voter…

I thank the gentlewoman, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Biggs). The amendment was agreed to.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 75, after line 25, insert the following: PART 8--VOTER REGISTRATION EFFICIENCY ACT SEC. 1081. SHORT…

I thank the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Rodney Davis) for yielding me time. Let me just tell you that this really is a monstrosity of a bill, the ``Democratic Politician Protection Act.'' You see, H.R. 1 was referred to 10 committees, but…

Both parties need to look at reforming Social Security and Medicare to ensure these programs remain sustainable.

Democrats and Republicans are both at fault in the current fiscal state of our country.

It will take bipartisan sacrifice, bipartisan cooperation.

I think it is the most important thing we do in Congress.

I introduced a resolution recognizing the national debt as a threat to America's national security.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Chairman, I tell you that H.R. 8 will do little more than further burden law-abiding gun owners. Without an unconstitutional Federal gun registry, this bill is impossible to enforce. There is no gun…

When the gentleman from Texas talks about the crowd-out effect, that is what we see as one of the threats to our national security. When you look at the spending that is being bloated and plussed-up and increased, the ramifications of…

I thank the gentleman from Maryland, and I appreciate his focusing on the interest, because he is right. In just a few short years, we will be spending more of our budget on interest than we do on defense; and then a couple of years after…

I thank my friend, Congressman Williams from Texas, for his willingness to take a strong stand on this. I am particularly impressed by his reference to President Trump's National Security Strategy, which specifically mentions a portion of…
