Darrell Issa

information concerning Occupy D.C.

I do think the one thing that we could not do, and I think it would be dereliction of duty, would be for me to say we are not going to go forward and do the things the law of the land now tells us to do because I am going to somehow act as…

I think that is your responsibility.

My obligation as the chairman of this committee is first and foremost for the District of Columbia to ensure that we do no harm to the District.

I certainly think when the Mayor of the city sent to Mr. Jarvis a letter at the end simply saying 'At a minimum, the Occupy D.C. sites at McPherson Square and at Freedom Plaza must be consolidated at Freedom Plaza to allow for elimination…

I ask unanimous consent that a statement prepared by the individuals or group of individuals currently residing in McPherson Square as part of Occupy D.C. be placed into the record in its entirety.

On rollcall No. 929 due to Whip activities, I missed this vote but would have voted ``aye.''

We really need to see a sense of urgency.

Would you pledge today to deliver us in the same unredacted form everything, I repeat, everything that was responsive to Mr. Markey?

I join with the ranking member in believing that in fact victims deserve the best services providers can offer.

In brief, no individual is to be honored more than one who knowingly walks up to a piece of explosive that can kill them surrounded by hostiles who can kill them. When others stand back, our EOD technicians go forward. And no organization…

In closing, I join my colleague in this bipartisan effort to name the post office after Master Sergeant Daniel L. Fedder, and I yield back the balance of my time. Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today as a proud cosponsor of H.R. 3220, a…

The ranking member said a great deal of what I was going to say and he said it well. Brian Terry was, in fact, a special human being who dedicated his life to public service, first in the United States Marine Corps, then in local law…

It is now my honor to yield such time as he may consume to a friend and colleague who would like to speak on Mr. Grisham's behalf, the gentleman from California (Mr. Lewis).

I join with my colleagues from Missouri on the left and the right that we are united by the naming of this post office on behalf of our fallen hero. Few things unite us in Congress like a recognition that men and women today are still…

Senate bill 384, introduced by Senator Dianne Feinstein from the great State of California, would extend the authority of the United States Postal Service to issue semipostal stamps to raise funds for breast cancer research. The bill…

I join with my colleague and move that we support unanimously the William Trant Post Office naming, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from California…

My committee just next door was systemically lied to by your own representatives. There is a high likelihood an individual was deliberately duped, but he was duped by people who still work for you today.

There has been recrimination. There has been an attempt to find scapegoats. Many of the people have been pointed to do share in the blame. But Mr. Attorney general, the blame must go to your desk, and you must today take the real…

I have treated this Attorney General as a hostile witness because ultimately when he comes before us saying he is going to clean house, no house has been cleaned.

I would be remiss if I didn't take exception to calling the NRA members, the millions of them, radicals.

I have no confidence in a President who has full confidence in an Attorney General who has, in fact, not terminated or dealt with the individuals...

What is too important is the Second Amendment.

Mr. Attorney General, will you agree to come before the Oversight Committee without the need for a subpoena in the January time frame?

Don't you think it is a little conspicuous in his absence that there is not one e-mail to or from you related to Fast and Furious in any way, shape or form?
