What strikes me about the Commission's report, moving on to that, is that this disaster could have been prevented.

Mr. Speaker, the resolution before us is simple. It instructs the committees to do the job they already do--conduct oversight of the laws passed by Congress. I believe clarity of purpose is an important component to successfully tackling…

I completely agree with you because there is no silver bullet to anything.

There is no question that health care costs have been rising... Just to slow that down, never mind bending the curve, I think, is a huge accomplishment for us.

I don't think that we should all be reinventing the wheel. We should learn from other states' experiences.

What the businesses in Hawaii were saying is please, please exempt Hawaii's law from whatever you folks are doing because they--our law works.

Hawaii, for over 35 years, has had probably the most progressive and comprehensive health care law in the entire country.

The real-life impact on remote areas and communities all across our country... would be very extreme if we do not continue to support EAS.

I would hope that with this Congress that we will be able to come up with a reasonable, fair, and forward-looking FAA reauthorization.

I think that all of the provisions in that reauthorization really affect every single community.

I was particularly interested in your testimony section on the airports improvement programs.

I certainly share this administration's view that infrastructure is one of the areas that we absolutely have to put resources into.
