An overwhelming majority of scientists believe that climate change is real, it's caused by man, and we should do something about it.

A majority of Americans have elected the person trying to take on these negotiations.

my experience--and maybe you could tell me if it's different at Argonne or other national laboratories--is that these scientists are, you know, for all intents and purposes, they are committed to serving our government.

I do share a belief that, you know, these scientists who work on national security programs shouldn't be treated any differently when the eligibility is considered for student loan forgiveness once they serve for ten years.

Do you think that it would help you recruit, attract, and retain these bright scientists if we were able to make them eligible for the public student loan forgiveness program?

one challenge that I have come across talking to our lab employees at home is that because the labs are operated as government-owned, contractor-operated, these scientists who have made six-digit investments in their future with the…

I demand a recorded vote. The CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from California will be postponed. Amendment No. 3 Offered by Mr. Walden The CHAIR. It is now in order…

I have an amendment at the desk made in order under the rule. The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 26, after line 2, insert the following: ``(4) by adding at the end the…

It just--it seems to evolve faster than we can stay pace with it, whether it's hacks or breaches...

Well, the Future Forum is a group that has evolved since April, and we are quite interested in engaging with millennials. Again, I would invite people tonight to engage with us on #futureforum, and we will take questions. But this idea of…

I don't know if the gentleman from New York heard, but in 2012, the New York Fed reported that for the first time in a decade, 30-year-old student borrowers were less likely to take out a home mortgage than other young people. Are you…

That is right. We were sent here to do our job, to be problem solvers and really be voices, I think, for all generations of Americans, but especially this generation which is the largest generation America has ever known. It is the most…

It was an unforgettable trip. We learned a lot about their innovation economy, but we also saw firsthand how they valued the service of those who stood on the front lines for their country. So we are hitting the end of our hour here. The…

I thank the gentleman from Florida for participating in this. I invite anyone at home to follow along, follow the conversation at #futureforum. Engage with these Members and others. I yield to the gentleman from New York. Any parting…

Well, I thank the gentlewoman from Florida for joining us. I hope to see her back.

Congressman Murphy, your district, the State of Florida, has a lot of veterans. People always ask: What is the biggest surprise you have found since going to Congress? I don't know if you guys have had that question posed to you. For me…

Here on the floor any Californian would be nervous when he or she is outnumbered by Floridians. We are joined by the gentleman from Florida who represents West Palm Beach, Jupiter/Martin County area. What are you hearing in your district…

I am glad this reunion happened. You inspire us to continue going forward. I want to ask the gentleman from New York--I have been to Manhattan. It reminds me a lot--Manhattan and Brooklyn and Queens and Harlem-- reminds me a lot of what we…

I am wondering, especially for our pioneers here tonight, if it would surprise you to hear that, since 2004, when you started this effort, student loan debt has increased from $346 million collectively for the country to the $1.2 trillion…

Reclaiming my time, I don't know if either Mr. Ryan or Mr. Jeffries has heard constituent casework like this, but we have constituents in our district who are having their Social Security checks garnished because of student loan debt. So I…

We talk a lot about the next generation, and Congressman Ryan and I were talking about how this affects millennials--and I invite my colleague from New York (Mr. Jeffries) to take the other podium. I don't know if you have heard this in…

So, in your district, say Youngstown, or my district, Cal State, East Bay, what I have found talking to young people, when we talk about this renewable economy and young people hear that, we are actually in this Congress, under Republican…

Again, I appreciate you being with us today, Congressman Veasey of Texas. You are right. It is about solutions and who is acting. I think we all would welcome the bipartisan approach to this. But right now the silence is deafening, and it…

You know what was interesting? We have had these conversations with people. A story I will never forget: We were in the Boston area, and we went to Thermo Fisher. We had this town hall with about 200 young people at their workforce…

Congressman Ryan, one of my favorite things to do in the spirit of what you and Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz did is you went out and engaged people in new, inventive ways. We do what is called a word cloud. We go to these townhalls, and…
