when American leaders convened on Monday, December 8, 1941, they knew three things: They knew America was at war; they knew that the mechanism that had been designed to alert America to impending danger had failed; and they knew that the…

yes. Again, I seek to restore integrity to the media campaign to ensure its ongoing success, not to end it. It is time to draw a line in the sand and take a stand. It is shameful for the government to reward any company that has admitted…

The opposition by the distinguished chairman is completely mystifying. There is plenty of money in the pipeline, I would remind the distinguished chairman of the subcommittee. This amendment that we are looking at now, I would remind…
