On May 11, Roy Seneca, a spokesman for the regional EPA office said they tested 59 wells in Dimock and found the fracking had nothing to do with any contamination of the water.

The conclusion then would be that the EPA doesn't need to be concerned anymore with Dimock, PA with the testing, so the water is safe.

I have a problem with people who take credit for things they didn't have anything to do with.

The Federal Government, all of a sudden, out of the blue, despite the history... showing an interest in hydraulic fracturing and regulating hydraulic fracturing.

When I am back home in western Pennsylvania, there is a great deal of concern about the Federal Government getting involved in areas where those people in those States don't think they should.

So my advice would be trust the States. The States in which this is happening know exactly what they are doing; they have been at it for generations.

I think when you look at 96 percent has happened in the private sector and 4 percent on Federal...

the waiting and the not knowing and the uncertainty if you are even going to get your permit... it is absolutely stifling these folks.

I have actually had the opportunity to travel with our chairwoman to the Mideast right after the first of the year, and in all the countries we visited they talked about being in the same neighborhood with Iran, and the dangers of Iran…

I have to tell you, coming from the private sector, I never had the luxury of having the Government underwrite loans for me; I have always had to provide my own capital, had to provide my own character, had to provide everything from the…

I want you folks out there that go to work everyday, get up everyday, go to work, pay your taxes, clothe your kids, put food on the table, I want you to continue to fund this project because, you know what, some day this is going to be…

No, the respect, the respect comes to the American taxpayer. That is who the respect comes from.

But whenever you sell your own shares of stock, and the people that are on your executive board sell your shares of stock, August 7th, 8th, and 9th you sold almost 700,000 shares of stock in a three-day period.

The DOE made a horrible, horrible decision, and continues to do that.

I have no respect for a situation where the chief executives take their money and run, and ask the American taxpayers to continue to fund a project.

we are running out of money to do the things that we think we should be doing

I thank the gentleman. In a perfect world we wouldn't be having this discussion. And in my office, I have a really attractive little snow globe that is very nice. You turn it upside down and the snow drifts down on this beautiful little…

This week we're very busy in the House, and last night we didn't get out until well beyond midnight. But there's also something that's happening this week that's very important not only to this body, but the whole Nation, and that's…

I would like to thank my friend from New York (Mr. Reed). Mr. Speaker, I rise today to talk about the things that are certain in life. People always say there's two things you can be certain of. One is death and the other is taxes. There's…

This is either inept, an inept Administration, or people who truly don't actually know at all how to treat the American people fairly.

This health care bill is going to cost an awful lot of money.

They have absolutely no idea what it is going to cost them.

I think the other thing that is very important to understand is that we talk about competing in the global economy. Now, our friends to the north in Canada do not have a death tax. Our friends to the south in Mexico do not have a death…

I can't tell you how uncertain most employers are today as to what is it going to cost them as employers, as business owners.

Now China is the world's most active and persistent perpetrator of economic espionage.
