Chuck Grassley

I expect that the Commission will examine this merger regularly, as they should.

Whether people know it or not, this proposed merger will affect them.

Thank you, Madam Chairman, for holding this very important hearing.

I say thank you to the managers of the bill for helping us with this very important amendment.

There currently is no cap at all on the amount taxpayers will reimburse contractor employees for compensation except for just a handful of executives, and that limit is already too high at $693,951. That is far above what the chief…

I rise to inform my colleagues that I am placing a hold on H.R. 3012, the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act. This bill would eliminate the per-country numerical limitations for employment-based visas and increase the numerical cap…

Thank you for your forthright recusal and thank you for the gentlemanly conversation you had with me on that subject.

I would like to associate myself with the remarks that Chairman Baucus made about how this affects people at the grassroots of America.

I ask permission to speak for 20 minutes in morning business, but it will probably be less than that.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. And thank you, witnesses.

Isn't it a real possibility that this bill will become a new deterrent for those who need mental health counseling?

What about a family member of a 9/11 victim that is grieving from the loss of a loved one?

I am sure you can answer this question: Regarding the legislation we are addressing today, has the President and the administration taken a formal position in support of it?

In each of these scenarios, law-abiding citizens who were subject to life-changing circumstances not of their own fault could lose their Second Amendment rights.

Did you ever receive any emails related to Operation Fast and Furious?

For my investigation of Fast and Furious, Mr. Cuthbertson, I have written a letter to the FBI, including you in your previous position as head of the El Paso Field Office, for some documents.

I sent a letter today to Secretary of State Clinton seeking all diplomatic cables discussing the sources of arms from Mexico and Central and South America.

The Fix Gun Checks Act would require everyone to redouble their efforts if States want to continue to receive grant money.

Instead of simply cursing the darkness that I know envelops your life because of the losses that you have sustained, the injuries you have sustained as well, but instead you are trying to light a candle, and that is a noble thing.

Gun violence is irrevocable and tragic, but it seems even less understandable when there is a chance that it could have been prevented.

I know that a lot of you in this room have been deeply affected by this issue.

We have not gotten any documents.

I ask for the yeas and nays. Is there a sufficient second? There appears to be. The clerk will call the roll. The assistant editor of the Daily Digest called the roll.

I have not limited my questions to Obama era operations, and it is hard to get straight answers.

Your deputy received a lot of details about Fast and Furious in March 2010 briefing details that I believe should have raised red flags.
