Today, I stand to ask my colleagues to join me in supporting H.R. 3085, a bill I introduced to rename Chicago's Mount Greenwood Post Office at 3349 West 111th Street in honor of Chicago Fire Captain Herbert ``Herbie'' Johnson. Captain…

Rail transportation is hugely important for my district as well as the Nation.

I want this Committee to be actively involved in writing the Research Title in the next surface transportation reauthorization bill.

Thank you, Chairman Bucshon, for calling this hearing.

We need to ensure that universities are given the flexibility to pursue long-term research.

We must invest more in R&D to ensure the safety of our rail passengers and operators.

I was going to ask the Chairman not to refer to me as doctor because the real doctors are over there, people actually heal people.

That being said, we need to find the right balance that meets those goals and allows researchers to focus on what they do best: advancing science.

If researchers are spending over 40 percent of their time on administrative tasks and not research, that is not productive.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Texas will be postponed. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will read. The Clerk read as follows…

I thank the ranking member for yielding. Madam Chair, I rise today in strong support of H.R. 4660. I would like to thank Chairman Wolf and Ranking Member Fattah for their hard work on this bill. While they have had to make some tough…

I want to thank the ranking member for yielding. As a cosponsor of WRRDA, I rise today in strong support of this conference report. I am pleased with the bipartisan cooperation in and between both the House and the Senate. I think this is…

By controlling individual atoms, we can create new materials and products, and with that, companies and jobs.

I hope with the Chairman's help we will have an opportunity to take up an NNI reauthorization bill once again in this Congress, and who knows, maybe the fourth time will be the charm.

Federal investments in nanotechnology research have already led to job creation in my state and across the Nation.

I know that Professor Hersam was part of a report on nanotechnology research directions that included a review of recommendations for nano EHS research and hope we can spend some time during the Q&A on this important topic.

I am fond of saying I drank the nanotech Kool-Aid the first time I visited Chad Mirkin's lab at Northwestern University.

Part of our discussion on nanotechnology must include the barriers and opportunities surrounding nanomanufacturing.

I don't think the NNI requires major revisions. It seems to be working pretty well, but I do think there are opportunities to formalize some of the recommendations we have received in the last few years from PCAST and the National…

With today's budget climate, the federal government has to consider alternative financing tools for R&D funding.

Prize challenges inspire and help spur technological advancement by tapping into the strength of American ingenuity.

For years, I have been a strong supporter of using prizes to incentivize advancement of emerging technologies.

I thank the gentleman for the courtesy of yielding, especially today as I rise in support of H.R. 2575. I was first approached about the problem with the 30-hour full time definition by Steve Palmer, one of the owners of Palmer Place…

I thank Mrs. Hartzler for yielding and for her leadership on this critical issue, which is not just as partisan issue. I am a Democrat. I know this is not a partisan issue--religious liberty. This is not even just a foundational American…

Simply put, cybercrime threatens businesses of all sizes and every single American.
