We can never explain nor fully comprehend evil, but last Friday we were reminded of its existence. The face of evil emerged when a cold blooded, calculating mass murderer trapped unsuspecting movie patrons packed in a darkened theater in…
I just have one question. And that is that it appears that there has not been a credible election yet in Afghanistan by international standards.
The stakes are too high for us to continue with current insufficient forest management plan.
To the gentleman from Washington, there is no requirement where we have to maintain a permanent military presence in Europe. The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has expired.
An accumulation of regulations and environmental litigation have resulted in limited means available to forest officials to treat and prevent densely packed forests.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for holding this important hearing on these proposals for reforming forest management policies.
The Cold War ended more than two decades ago, and the Iron Curtain and the Soviet Union no longer exist. While the United States is spending 4.7 percent of our economy on defense, only 4 out of 28 of our NATO allies are spending even 2…
I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title) insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds…
I have met with County Commissioners, Forestry Officials and conservation experts who have pleaded for strong, comprehensive solutions to combat the emergency situation of wildfires in their areas.
To the gentleman from Washington, I believe that this certainly does not disallow us to maintain rotational forces in Europe. There is no provision within the NATO Charter that requires the United States to maintain a permanent military…
I hope each and every one of you are active in making sure that whatever comes out of health care evolution, whether it is related to ACA or anything else, that some of us are pushing to reform the SGR.
The Supreme Court's decision to uphold President Obama's health care reform law has reinforced the need for Congress to repeal and to replace this law. No doubt, health care reform is important. Today, health insurance is far too…
Well, I should say how slow the command was to respond and how slow you were to respond to this issue...
Well, thank you, Ambassador, Mr. Sedney, General. I hope we don't learn that the hard way, as we have obviously seemed to be learning things in Afghanistan up to this point.
the questions about the ability to account for U.S. taxpayers' dollars, to account for whether we have achieved the goals that we have set, as you mentioned, Representative Coffman, is very important.
Let us talk about, going forward now, that here is my concern that not only going to be reducing our footprint...
What is stunning in this whole situation is the fact that we have U.S. taxpayer dollars flowing into Afghanistan.
I think, in my view, he displayed a fundamental lack of leadership in the performance of those duties.
An important part of the continued viability of our Nation's small businesses is their access to capital. To foster this access, we need to provide community financial institutions with responsible regulatory relief so they can increase…
Let me also be clear, because this fact is largely missed by the opponents of this legislation. Only lands that are already approved by BLM for exploration can be nominated by industry. This bill is not a green light for immediate…
This act removes the obstacles that are blocking our efforts to achieve greater American energy production and job creation by providing more certainty and clarity to the public lands leasing and permitting process. In particular, my part…
What efforts are going to be made next time to make sure--or to assist the Afghan people to make sure--that there is a credible election so that there is a peaceful transition of power?
