The way I view what is happening on the border, especially with this cocaine war that you just described for us just a few minutes ago with those tons of cocaine that come into this country is that, you know, the border patrol is playing…
This is not a draw down. This is actually going to cost money to move them to Montana.
That is a real eye-opener, and I thank you for explaining that. I didn't really get that concept. So, in addition to playing games with numbers, the Federal Government is subsidizing the playing games with numbers, and then your State also…
In reclaiming my time, I'd like to ask the gentleman a question because it just dawned on me the economics that you're describing here. What they're doing now is not saying, Okay, we're going to make a Chevrolet pickup or a Ford pickup…
I thank my friend for his great comments. One of the things I like to say about Washington is to show us the common sense, and, Mr. Manzullo, I think you made a good, commonsense argument that we can understand. I'd now like to introduce…
I would now like to recognize Mr. Manzullo from Illinois, who is a champion of starting up the manufacturing again in this country. He understands the economy and how it works.
I thank my friend from New Mexico for a very strong statement. I want to recognize Mr. Roscoe Bartlett, my friend from Maryland. He wants to get up here with some of his own charts, and I'm going to step aside and let him do it.
I would now like to recognize my good friend, Steve Pearce from New Mexico, Texas' good neighbor to the west.
I would now like to have you hear from my colleague from Virginia, Scott Rigell, who has been waiting to talk. I learned in a conversation before we started here tonight he's been in the car, the automobile business, and so he brings a…
That's good common sense. Thank you for doing that. We appreciate it. Congressman Ribble, I understand you have some support for this bill in the Senate. Would you like to tell us a little bit about that?
Let me point out that the $1.75 trillion is more than the entire income tax for that year that was collected by this country. So, when you talk about a burden, it's more than the entire tax burden of our Nation for that year.
I agree. And that's the purpose for us being here tonight. There is no reason to scare people. They can make them draw their own conclusions. But if you're hiring, if you're contracting, this guy who represents Iran is contracting with…
You paint a pretty severe picture, which I agree with. Think about this. Part of the contract they were trying to make with the Zetas was to bring into this country explosives, supposedly to set a plant, a bomb, in a favorite eating place…
I thank the gentleman for yielding. I just want to correct--maybe you said it wrong; maybe I said it wrong. If I did, I apologize. I'm not saying Chinese industry will move to the United States. I'm saying that if they close down plants in…
If the gentleman will yield, I believe this board is made out of that styrene. This is what we call plastic board.
I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Page 15, line 8, after the dollar amount, insert ``(decreased by $1,000,000) (increased by $1,000,000 )''. The Acting CHAIR…
The VA issued a directive in March 2011 requiring the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) to allow medical service dogs into its facilities.
With this increased usage, it is crucial that we help these Veterans and their service dogs gain access to all VA facilities.
This bill was first brought to my attention by the American Veterans (AMVETS) organization, and is supported by the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), Military Order of the Purple Heart (MOPH), VetsFirst, and Paws with a Cause.
The VETS Dogs Bill is quite simple and does not cost any money; it merely ensures that Veterans with medical service dogs have equal access to all Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities.
Sexual assault shouldn't be tolerated in any form or fashion by any institution in this country.
It was Harry Truman who said if you want a friend in Washington you better buy a dog.
