The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has been a huge hindrance for Georgia Power to be able to build this.

As a medical doctor, I believe that ObamaCare is the wrong prescription for what ails our nation's healthcare system.

Integrity in government is integral to the public's faith in our democracy.

Eternal vigilance is the price we pay for our liberty.

This is likely my last time chairing this Subcommittee on Oversight for a hearing, and I would like to thank my friends on both sides of the aisle.

Thank you, Mr. Smith.

I appreciate my good friend from Maryland (Ms. Edwards). I heard her comments, and they are very nice comments. She and I have been friends and sometimes on the opposite sides of issues, but she is a very dear friend and a great lady, and…

Well, frankly, I believe that this Visa Waiver Program that we have increases our security threat.

I think we can do this. It is a huge security threat to this country if we don't revoke their passports.

If we know who those people are, I think it is an outright security threat not to revoke their passports.

The Administration didn't supply us proper witnesses to answer scientific question.

The witnesses we have are political experts, and the statement about mumbo-jumbo was basically geared towards--volatility is a scientific, measurable--as well as flammability are scientific, measurable issues.

I must say I am disappointed--though not surprised--at this Administration's continued unwillingness to work with the Congress.

I am so extremely disappointed in the Administration not providing technical witnesses.

We can see now why did we invite technical scientific experts in the field instead of political witnesses?

Energy independence creates a healthy economy, jobs at home, and directly correlates to our national security.

I must say I am very disappointed, though not surprised, that this Administration is continuing to have an unwillingness to work with the Congress.

As the Chairman of this Committee's Oversight Subcommittee, I value transparency and accountability.

How can this primary research and development arm not have any idea of the total amount of taxpayer money being invested on technology to detect, prevent, and mitigate threats to our Nation?

This is intolerable.

Currently, Border Patrol agents are inundated with processing unaccompanied minors and not fulfilling their primary mission to safeguard the border against terrorists entering the country under the radar as well as drugs and other things…

I think the policies of four administrations... have absolutely refused to secure our borders. To me, that is a National security issue.

Iran is a huge part of this issue, and I don't see this administration or the previous administration really dealing with Iran...

I think the policies of four administrations--two Republicans and two Democrats now of open borders... have absolutely refused to secure our borders.
