Adam Schiff

I thank gentleman. You really put your finger on it. The reality is that ``stay the course'' is nothing but more of the same. That doesn't cut it anymore. I yield to my good friend, a leader on national security issues, David Scott from…

On that point, Mr. Van Hollen, we had one of the very few hearings, you were in attendance, on Iraq in committee, after years of asking the committee leadership in International Relations to hold a hearing on the Iraq war. You would think…

This sounds a little bit about the equivalent, if you are dealing with someone with a substance abuse addiction, to give them a subsidy to buy the contraband that is the subject of their addiction.

I just point out to the chair and ranking member, I know my bill, and I assume that the gentlewoman's also, has now been referred to both Intel and Judiciary, and without a similar commitment from Judiciary, there is really no commitment…

I am sure that both my colleagues have had the experience of visiting our troops in the hospital in Ramstein, Germany, and here in Washington. Their thoughts are with their colleagues they left behind. They want to get back to their troops…

The gentleman and I were talking just this morning, all three of us, about the need to sacrifice, the need to have leadership in this country, and ask the American people to make a sacrifice. Right now, the people sacrificing are the…

If I could ask of the gentleman from Georgia, prior to the Memorial Day weekend, you shared a short anecdote about meeting one of your constituents in Iraq. Can you tell us about that because I think it so characterizes the sacrifice we…

I thank the gentlemen, and these issues and the others we will continue to explore in the coming weeks as we further amplify Real Security. Let me just end on this note. I had lunch with one of the Guardsmen from my district who served in…

That is very well put, and we have seen the consequences of our intelligence failures. They manifest. We have seen the consequences of our diplomatic failures as we are seeing in abundance now with Iran where we just had a terrible setback…

Just to interrupt for a second. I visited our troops in that very same hospital, as well as here in Bethesda at Walter Reed. That is exactly what they told me also. They just want to get back to their unit. These young people, and they are…

Well, you pose an interesting question. How can the administration's policy, which is dubbed a ``reduce our dependence on foreign oil,'' be a policy which, if you actually play it out over the years, will increase our importation of…

Mr. Moore, we thank you for you tremendous leadership on this issue and for joining us this evening. Now it gives me great pleasure to yield time to the gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Wasserman Schultz), who I would say is a rising star in…

I thank the gentleman. It gives me great pleasure to yield to Mr. Bennie Thompson, our ranking member on the Homeland Security Committee, someone who has brought great intelligence, foresight, and determination to protecting America, to…

Mr. Scott, we are proud and grateful to have you here. You mentioned the proud history of the Democratic Party and national security under the leadership of Presidents like Roosevelt and Truman and Kennedy and others. Today we saw in the…

I am delighted to yield 15 seconds to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Delahunt).

I want to return the courtesy extended by my friend, and I am happy to yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Flake) to be subsequently yielded as he chooses. The Acting CHAIRMAN (Mr. Hastings of Washington). Without objection…

Even the present administration's estimate, which I think generally errs far on the side of saying that any environmental protection would be injurious to business, even this administration's expectation is that it would have less than 1…

Mr. Chairman, the intent is to give States the option, not the mandate, to charge a toll. If the States choose, they may allow hybrids; if they chose to allow hybrids under the condition of a toll, they would have that capability as well…

So what is the administration's prospectus? What is the story? What is the plan to get us back to balanced budgets? As I understand it, according to the director of OMB, the plan is, well, if the economy grows at a faster than anticipated…

It was very important to my parents that they pass on to their children more than what they inherited; that they passed on a safer community, better schools. They wanted for their children more than what they had. I feel that same…

Nancy has asked us all to be brief and therefore I will be. After all, she is the whip. Nancy, you are the greatest. Thank you for the passion you bring to your office. Thank you for all you have done to improve the quality of life for…

I believe that we here in the Congress who are most affected by this decision should share this decision with the people of the United States through their legislatures. In other words, I can think of no reason why we should withhold this…

Any two of those items, including a grenade launcher, can make a weapon illegal under the current legislation. None of that has anything to do with firepower. If any or all of the matters the gentleman listed had anything to do with…

I wonder if anyone in Michigan committed a crime recently with a grenade launcher?

Since the gentleman from Texas mentioned my name, I want to say that the Republican side believes that it has provided sufficient funds for Medicare. We believe that the Medicare level of funding we proposed is exactly what the President…
