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

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.

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

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

Eternal vigilance is the price we pay for our liberty.

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…

I rise here today to urge my colleagues to support H.R. 5544, the Low-Dose Radiation Research Act of 2014. Humans are exposed on a daily basis to much natural background radiation, and some get additional low-dose exposure from medical…
