What kind of harm would that do to the American economy and the businesses and jobs and productivity and quality of life?

If they impose a government-run health care system, would such system result in increased costs in taxes to individuals, to families, to businesses, as well as to all taxpayers at the Federal, State and local levels?

I do not believe that it can be overstated, the impact of the election returns last night. [...] This in Massachusetts last night was a shot heard around the world. It was the Scott heard around the world.

I have been a strong supporter of establishing a DNA data bank and all kinds of circumstances because I think the saving of one life is worth all the investment we could possibly put into it.

I think that it is pretty simple. It is right up front, and I would think that the culture of the SBA should be if people are found to be in violation of these standards, there should be an immediate severance of the contract if you have…

I have to work with honorable people, people that I can trust, people that have a culture within their company of having the integrity of knowing where the lines are and not crossing the lines.

I give President Clinton significant credit for supporting trade agreements and holding Democrats together to get enough votes to actually pass them.

We are grateful to the Members of Congress who signed onto a letter circulated by Congressmen Tim Walz and Steve King.

I would like to ask you to point out which country is the most likely to be defined as a free trade country.

Through the Bush Administration, I watched Democratics line up and incrementally start walking away from free trade.

I appreciate a broad and aggressive approach to this. I think it sends the right message to the pork industry.

We need to do that so we can see more demand in this market and see some recovery after this perfect storm that we have seen in the pork industry.

I very much encourage, as emphatically as possible, an aggressive effort to open up that trade with China but also Korea, Colombia, and Panama.

If the PATRIOT Act has saved at this point hypothetically but uncountable American lives.

And I thank the witness for his testimony here.

In my opinion, the tax policies proposed by the White House combined with the cap and trade bill passed by the U.S. House would be the largest money grab on small business in the history of our country.

I don't believe that there has been any place or any time in history that--I won't declare them to be, let's say, accused terrorists. I will say they are enemy combatants.

Okay. Thank you. And that is just an interesting string there, and so it raises a number of questions in my mind.

I would ask Mr. Johnson if you could restate again or read to the Committee the exceptions that may be considered on evidence gathering.

Those Uighurs, if resettled here in the United States, would contribute to the United States because they are opposed to al-Qaida and Taliban.

I dare say they are more aptly described as the Tibetans who are persecuted by the Communist Chinese intelligence agents.

I don't think enemy combatants... have ever been treated as good as the inmates are down at Guantanamo Bay.

I have watched this unfold over the last years since September 11, and it appears to me that we are moving in a direction away from national security.

But it has not been redefined in law.

It would seem to me--and I thank all the witnesses. It would seem to me that in the United States of America, if you own something that I think we all on this panel would describe as a property right, that there should be some recourse to…
