I hope the proposed volumetric obligations can be finalized by the November 30th deadline.

I hope we can continue to educate ourselves with additional hearings in order to inform our decisions on America's energy future.

The Renewable Fuel Standard has helped to push the technological limits and the capacity of industry to innovate our transportation fuels.

The greatest challenge of this generation--climate change--requires innovative solutions if we ever hope to make a meaningful difference.

I think that as we move forward in this, we have plenty of questions and an opportunity to work together to make sure that this whole system works better for the safety of our community.

I think your question about the warrant is a good one and one we ought to explore.

I would ask unanimous consent to put into the record a bipartisan letter that was sent to appropriators just 4 months ago signed by 162 Members of Congress talking about the importance of the Byrne JAG and COPS grants for policing in this…

I do think that the testimony of the police chief of Dayton, Ohio I hope will be instructive because I have not heard a single person who suggests that it was wise, appropriate, or even legal for the sheriff in San Francisco to have…

And that is why the Administration has gone to this Priority Enforcement Program because it does not violate anybody's constitutional rights if you ask to be notified before you release somebody.

And I think that is why sheriffs all across the United States, whether or not their communities say they are 'sanctuary cities,' have been reluctant to do this.

I am hopeful that we can hone in on the need to make sure that the ability to remove dangerous criminals by ICE is enhanced.

Actually he should never have been sent to San Francisco in the first place.

As a parent, I can only imagine what you are going through, and any time an innocent person is lost to violence, I think it is important that we all stop and consider what steps could we take, what policies and processes, procedures, and…

I thank the gentleman for yielding in support of the Massie-Lofgren amendment. As mentioned, the declassified FISA court decision has indicated that substantially more warrantless communications are collected through 702 than 215. We had a…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. The unclassified FISA court reported that the 702 search had, in fact, scooped up vast amounts of wholly domestic information. How does this work? The upstream communications are tapped into by the NSA…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. As Mr. Poe recognized, this is a very diverse group of authors who don't agree on everything, but this is very important for a reason. First, it is fundamental that our privacy be protected; that the…

I had also sought to seek the time in opposition, although I also do not oppose the amendment.

Further reserving, I was wondering if the Democratic side of the aisle might be able to split the time. That is why I was reserving the right to object.

I withdraw my reservation. The Acting CHAIR. The reservation is withdrawn. Without objection, the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Culberson) is recognized for 5 minutes. There was no objection. {time} 2145

We might not agree on everything, but I think we agree on the Fourth Amendment. So this is a great day for this body to come together across the aisle for that purpose. And I thank the gentleman for yielding

Reserving the right to object. The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from California is recognized on her reservation.

I have been here--I am working on my 21st year, and I think this is the first time we have ever had the police before us, and I think it is long overdue.

I believe this bill makes meaningful reform to a few of the surveillance programs, but it in no way stops all of the bulk collection of U.S. person communications currently occurring. This bill won't stop the most egregious and widely…

I think that is an essential element that has been missing here in this discussion.

I very much agree. I recently met with some researchers, academically based, and I think they had probably been over to the Copyright Office as well.
