I have no further requests for time. I would like to thank all of those who have worked on this legislation. This is a fine example of how you take a rather difficult and complicated problem and work through ways by which you can ensure…

How quickly my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have forgotten the loss of millions of American jobs and trillions of dollars of household wealth caused by inadequate regulation.

this hearing, in my estimation, is nothing more than the latest chance for the Majority to air its ideologically-driven deregulatory agenda.

the Democrats did not ask for a cancellation of the hearing.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

I am very appreciative, and I thank you so very much for focusing on racism, discrimination, disparate impact, and intentional discrimination.

I like your leadership on racism and discrimination.

I want nothing but swift justice for Ms. Martin, and I want to thank her for her service to our government and to our country as a member of our Nation's military.

I am not interested in scoring any political points on an issue as important as discrimination and retaliation.

I believe that these recommendations will play a vital role in ensuring that all travelers and airport employees are safe in our Nation's airports.

putting America back to work in an economy that works for everyone is undoubtedly the most effective and efficient way to reduce our debt and deficit.

government austerity during a recession such as the sequester impedes growth.

the timing of this series of hearings seems to be more inspired by politics than enhancing good policy.

I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker and Members, I am very proud and very pleased about this bipartisan effort to fix a serious problem in this country. As a matter of fact, we should all be pleased because it is said by the…
