During the public comment period, there was absolutely zero interest in this program--zero. The SBA already does this. I am all for manufacturing. I am all for small and medium businesses. But we do not need this program. It is an $84…

I am a family physician and an addictionologist. Marijuana is addicting if it is used improperly. But used medically, and there are very valid medical reasons to utilize extracts or products from marijuana in medical procedures, it is a…

I appreciate the offer of both gentlemen to work with me. It is our responsibility in Congress to have oversight. I am the chairman of the Oversight Committee on Science, Space and Technology. We have had tremendous problems with not only…

I appreciate that. The question we have--we have asked Mr. Park to come three times, and then we had Mr. Holdren come to the full committee, and Mr. Park is in OSTP, and Mr. Holdren is chairman of OSTP, and he said Mr. Park doesn't work…

Liberty is too precious and we must continue to be ever vigilant in protecting it.

It is unconscionable for the U.S. Government to kill its own citizens without first allowing them their day in court and due process.

While President Obama and many within his party would like to further cut our military and prioritize wasteful domestic spending over our national defense, I disagree with his approach.

Well, the President seems to not care about the priorities of Congress.

Seems to me that the backlog has grown so large that, like the overall Federal debt, this administration has simply chosen to ignore it.

I personally don't support any expansion whatsoever of the National Park Service for many reasons.

Get him here quickly so that we can try this animal in our courts so that he gets his just due.

It is absolutely critical, if we are going to have some resolution, if we are going to break down this cartel...
