What is your plan? If you don't like the President's plan, what is your proposal?

Add it all up, what do you have? House Republicans have voted against climate change legislation, they voted against climate regulation, they have voted against climate research and development, and they voted against international climate…

There is no reason you should be mindful of proposals that even passed the House if they are not law.

If we take that path, history will not treat us kindly. We will be the generation that ignored the warnings of scientists and left future generations a violent and inhospitable climate.

I thank the gentleman for yielding me time to speak against this bill. The American public should know what this bill is all about. It is the 41st attempt in the House to repeal and confuse the American people about the Affordable Care…

The President's Blue Ribbon Commission recommended that Congress create a new organization devoted entirely to managing the nuclear waste problem.

I want to ask you and take this opportunity to inquire about some issues that are important to the people of California.

It is an interesting example today of the Republicans ignoring their own oversight findings.

Our nuclear waste laws are not working.

That is not smart. That is not in the public interest.

When Secretary Sebelius was in Florida a few weeks ago, she said she knew of no other State that had gone this far.

They now have taken the cops off the beat to regulate insurance rates.

Well, that is comforting.

I believe we should keep our eyes on the bigger picture: problems that arise will be fixed, and we are on a steady path to offering every American quality, affordable health coverage and making our health care system more sensible…

We need to heed the advice of the Blue Ribbon Commission: adopt a new consent-based approach to tackling the Nation's nuclear waste problem.

It is also important to remember that most of the implementation problems are likely to come from Republican State leaders who are openly obstructing the goals of the law.

Inevitably, there will be some glitches and hiccups in implementation of this law, and I expect every time they find any hiccup, the Republicans here in Washington will make a hue and cry about it.

As far as I'm concerned, they ought to be put in jail. It's so terrible what they're doing, using the plight of our veterans to make themselves rich and playing upon the good well-meaning Americans who want to help veterans and are willing…

And my colleagues, in an op-ed in The New York Times this morning, four former EPA administrators appeal for action on climate change, stating: The United States must move now on substantive steps to curb climate change. I think this House…

This is a do-nothing Congress. It is absolutely pathetic. There are millions of people unemployed. Are we working to create jobs for them? No. If they don't have jobs, we're not trying to help them. But what we're doing today for the 40th…

The Murphy amendment denies that carbon pollution is harmful. It prohibits the Environmental Protection Agency from considering the costs of climate change when analyzing the impacts of its rules. According to this amendment, the cost of…

The purpose of these rules are to stop and prevent the outbreak of foodborne illnesses. Last week, FDA issued a proposed rule to mandate that importers demonstrate that the food they bring into the country is safe. Well, these rules will…

I thank the gentlelady for yielding to me some time to talk about one specific bill that this rule would allow the House to consider. Mr. Speaker, I would urge a ``no'' vote on the rule and a ``no'' vote on the underlying bill. It's called…

And my colleagues, as I rise in opposition to this amendment, the supporters would claim that it's about transparency. What it's really about is not transparency. It's about a way to block or delay critical EPA rules. That's what this…

And my colleagues, this is not my philosophy that would lead me to urge that we reduce carbon emissions. It's based on the science. Thousands of peer-reviewed scientific studies have indicated that carbon causes problems. It causes health…
