And Ranking Member Kaptur, I echo my colleague's comments and thank you for your collegial leadership of the subcommittee. Funding the synchrotron light sources adequately is a competitiveness issue for the Nation's economic well-being…

This bill will help to ensure that those with the most direct knowledge of human trafficking, the survivors, will have a voice in the anti-trafficking policy conversations within the U.S. Government.

How can we work together where we can include solar in the weatherization program so it would impact also more temperate parts of country rather than just the high-impact neighborhoods, parts of our country?

the funding and publishing of scientific research needs to remain in the hands of scientists and the peer review process

The research they perform not only pushes the bounds of our understanding of the universe but also directly fosters U.S. prosperity and global leadership.

I think that this is a message that needs to resonate among members of Congress and those who are in positions to make sure that we do not go in that direction.

I think Congress probably has a fiduciary responsibility to produce a balanced budget that would reflect the entire values and aspirations of this country first.

I think we have to own the question that you are asking that if we want those kinds of things to happen we have to fund it.

I would like to commend you for your efforts to advance America's scientific leadership.

I am very concerned about the public health and safety implications of allocation decisions, and the over drafting of our groundwater basin in and around my Silicon Valley district.

We do not manage drought. We manage water.

In Silicon Valley the driving force in our economy is technology.

I certainly do not object to the idea that the Federal Government should consult with State and local governments and increase the engagement of local communities.

On rollcall No. 525, had I been present, I would have voted ``no.'' ____________________

We cannot turn a blind eye to the repression of religious freedoms.

I cannot support this rushed amendment that allows the U.S. to wade back into another conflict without a serious, informed discussion of the United States' military role in combating ISIL. We need to fully debate and discuss actions we as…

I thank the ranking member. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to this amendment. The threat of ISIL is beyond anything in the last 13 years since the horror of 9/11. We see there are no limits to gross brutality. They are a terrorist…

As a cosponsor of this bill, I rise in enthusiastic support of H.R. 2996, the Revitalize American Manufacturing and Innovation Act. The public-private partnerships created by this bill will help rebuild our Nation's manufacturing capacity…
