I think today's hearing really brings to home, first of all, that it's important that we be a model for the world and keep our Government open.

Thank you very much, and thank you for your service.

This restoration means improving water quality for millions of people, protecting our natural habitat, increasing property values, expanding recreational opportunities, and boosting tourism for Florida. As this bill progresses, I hope we…

As we enter day 10 of this reckless and irresponsible government shutdown, I once again turn to Dr. Seuss, the well-known author, best known for being able to communicate well to children. Some wisdom from ``Yertle the Turtle'': I am…

With all due respect to my friends on the other side of the aisle, this shutdown talk has evolved to ridiculousness. To quote Dr. Seuss: When beetles fight these battles in a bottle with their paddles And the bottle's on a poodle and the…

I think we all understand that the responsibility, the sole responsibility, as ARB said, for this attack was on terrorists.

One of the privileges of being on this committee has been the opportunity to meet many of our Ambassadors, our own Ambassadors and Ambassadors from other countries.

I am really, as I said, following up on Mr. Hanna's comments, is that it is more than just someone who drives a vehicle that is using the roads.

I think it cannot be said more that the war in Iraq was the wrong war at the wrong time.

My, my, my; talk about pain. There's lots of pain in our country--mothers and fathers are out of work, losing homes, bills piling up--but here we go again: another day in Congress being squandered as we fight once more about women having…

We have been waiting, for example, for a Chief's Report in Port Everglades for more than a dozen years.

I think Congress should take the responsibility, and therefore, streamline this process and fund it where it is appropriate.

I am proud to say that on Sunday, Vietnam war veteran Raymond Clark Thompson's name is being added to the Vietnam War Memorial Wall where he will be remembered for his valiant service in the Army and extraordinary sacrifice for our…

Much of the aid that we have given... has just been very wasteful.

Thank you very much, Congressman Engel, and thank you for your great leadership to us in Congress. Now I am very pleased to yield to another new Member of Congress, a colleague of mine in the class of 2013 and a colleague of mine on the…

Thank you, Mr. Murphy. Now I have the privilege of introducing the distinguished ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Eliot Engel, from the great State of New York.

Thank you very much, Congresswoman Schakowsky. We're also joined here today by a newcomer to Congress, but very much a rising star, my neighbor and friend in the Palm Beach County delegation and the distinguished colleague who is on the…

I'm here because of Angel. Angel was just an ordinary teenager. She loved basketball. She liked to hang out. In fact, that's all she was doing on a balmy night in West Palm Beach, just hanging out, when she was violently killed by a man…

Today, Tuesday, April 9, is Equal Pay Day because it symbolizes how far in 2013 women must work in order to make what their male counterparts earned in 2012. This means that it took more than 3 months in 2013 for women's wages to finally…

I ask another question: What is the logic in taking little children out of Head Start programs when we know that the path to middle class, the path to be able to take care of your family, to take care of yourself, to be a tax-paying…
