I find the bill unnecessary and problematic and, therefore, I continue to have concerns and will oppose the bill.

I have lived through the 1980s farm crisis and the years hence, and I have a feel and a flow for what has happened within the Farm Credit System.

I find that it doesn't look the same as the one we were discussing in those previous years, and so it seems to be apparent that you have written a new mission statement.

I see that as perhaps a direct reaction to Congress' concern about the expansion of the mission statement.

I want to thank the chairman for yielding to me. Seven years ago today, I brought the first repeal of ObamaCare here to this Congress. Forty words, to rip it out by the roots as if such act had never been enacted. I would like to be here…

the death tax, it is a direct tax on the American Dream itself.

I have long said if you want to do something great for our country have a lot of babies and raise them right.

Jorge Ramos' stock in trade is identifying and trying to drive wedges between race. Race and ethnicity, I should say to be more correct. When you start accentuating the differences, then you end up with people that are at each other's…

You can not rebuild your civilization with somebody else's babies. You've got to keep your birth rate up, and that you need to teach your children your values.

I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 150. The Acting CHAIR. There being no further amendments, under the rule, the Committee rises. Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro…

I thank the gentleman from Colorado for yielding. I especially thank him for bringing this legislation before this Congress. I rise in support of this rule and the underlying bill. We are addressing the topic that we used to call…

I would just summarize this case in that it is not only me, it is not Mr. Buck alone, it is not Mr. Sessions alone, it is the American people who are calling out for this kind of relief. It is not just the American people--we might…

I appreciate the privilege to address you here on the floor of the House of Representatives, and I have a number of topics I would like to bring up this evening. First, I would comment that I heard the words ``Affordable Care Act''…

The conclusion reached by the Inspector General, as well as the description of the materials that the Treasury Department officials relied upon in determining whether the Department of Justice's request for payment in this settlement…

I do not remember Dan Glickman's confession to that back sometime in the 1990s, and I do not remember any evidence with regard to that discrimination.

It always seemed curious to me that the department that could make such a confession and put such an all-out effort out to identify people who are victims of discrimination could not identify a single perpetrator to fire or to at least use…

I appreciate your testimony promoting a more transparency, and I appreciate the bipartisan look at this transparency.

I believe we have a constitutional obligation to do so, and when billions of dollars stack up without even questioning the motivations for that.

But in consequence for appropriation made by law and a regular statement in account of the receipts and expenditures of all money shall be published from time to time.

I think we should recognize that, and I think the public should know, and they can make their decisions when they go to the ballot box.

I will do my share to achieve that transparency, and I am confident Mr. Cohen will as well.

I intend to drill into this, and get as complete an audit as this can be achieved and to examine the implications, especially if there is political motivation that is indicated with where these dollars have been distributed.

I've been on the Agriculture Committee for 15 years and this will be probably farm bill number three that we're getting ready to do.
