It is imperative that the FMC update existing regulations so that they can adequately address the concerns of the current market.

I represent the Port of Los Angeles, America's port, but I also believe that the First Amendment rights of our port and maritime workers must be respected.

So we are 13 years into the 21st century and yet we are only just beginning to develop the streamlined and modern government that the American people expect and deserve from the nation that invented the Internet.

I do continue to think that we need to look outside of the gas-tax box, as we go forward, to fund the Highway Trust Fund.

I always feel like raising the gas tax is also inappropriate--you know, affects low-income folks, and would like to really find a way that it could be more fair on who is using our highways.

I am really always proud of the voters in particularly L.A. County, who always seem to agree to tax themselves to fund transportation programs.

This is not just a matter of convenience, and it is not just some cool-looking new toy.

Mobile medical apps are a real exciting area of innovation that has tremendous promise for American small businesses and health care providers and patients across the country.

Bringing all the patient's medical information together and putting it literally into the hands of that patient and their doctors could help avoid these deadly errors.

We have an $8 billion surplus. We are not spending that money for the purpose it was intended.

I am a big believer in spending the money that we are collecting for the purpose for which it was collected.

Congress increased funding for an east coast missile defense system most experts have described as being wasteful and has cut critical port security programs.

The likelihood of a nuclear weapon being smuggled through an American port by an unfriendly nation is much greater than facing a nuclear launch.

I believe our Nation's ports are still one of our more vulnerable entryways into this country.

The health of my constituents in Wilmington and San Pedro shouldn't be compromised just so goods can arrive in Oklahoma on time.

The Federal Government needs to take the growth of Canadian and Mexican ports very seriously.

I have always felt like a percentage of the customs district revenue ought to be spent where it is collected for improving the infrastructure.

I don't think we expand our ports or build more projects without making sure that we mitigate the impacts on the surrounding communities.

Cutting this $9.1 million is really a $173 million cut to brownfields projects that are creating jobs.

I never had to choose between clean air and good jobs. I think we can do both.

I am kind of with John Garamendi. Why don't we take this $25 million, put it toward the program and strengthen it?

I have serious concerns with what this could mean for our maritime workers.

We completely disagree with the administration's attempt to restructure the Food for Peace program.

I plan on reintroducing legislation that will maybe compel this Congress to pay the survivors the benefits that they deserve.

One of the reasons I ran for Congress was because one of my best friends died of breast cancer about 20 years ago.
