I am continually encouraged--everyone I speak to--to let the facts lead us to wherever they may.

I agree with his findings, agree that whether it is one of these organizations, any of the 298 applications that Mr.

Thank you for your testimony today.

This shows that we are only scratching the surface, Mr. Chairman.

Everybody that I have heard make a statement or comment, every reviewing body that has had an opinion, have suggested that obviously there was some behavior on the part of senior level IRS staff that was unwarranted, unacceptable…

The suggestion that sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants, electric light the most efficient policeman.

I think that we should be able to agree on that whole notion of disclosure.

The American people should not be afraid of the IRS.

Now, taxpayers should not be intimidated by the IRS.

We all know that's outrageous and not acceptable.

Helping foster youth experience the same things other kids do sometimes requires more than just granting them permission.

These barriers further isolate kids who already feel isolated.

Safety cannot be the only goal we pursue.

Children in foster care have the same needs, desires and dreams of all children.

I was just thinking, I represent about 30 or so colleges and universities, and I am wondering if maybe some of them may not really understand that they have got to be in compliance with certain kinds of rules and regs.

I am glad that you brought it up because it is not enough just to say mental health is the problem, and use that as the beard to ignore the bigger inclusive problem.

It is disheartening to me that so many people are working so hard to discredit the Affordable Care Act rather than to make sure that it works and that our constituents and the American people have access to quality affordable health care.

There are many members of Congress, including some people on this committee, who are concerned that senior citizens and veterans who receive their prescriptions by mail would be adversely affected.

This is a very important topic of discussion.

We must invest heavily in the education of our youngest citizens.

I ask that the Committee consider examining the federal investment in children and children's programs within the Budget.

No youth should be denied the opportunity to go to college; the federal Pell Grant is the federal program that helps low-income students access and succeed in college.

Rep. Danny K. Davis will reintroduce the Sickle Cell bill, 'To extend for 5 years the authorization of appropriations for the sickle cell disease prevention and treatment demonstration program,' in the 113th Congress.

Indeed, for every cut made to the Second Chance Act, key provisions like housing, skill development and job placement, mental health and substance treatment and prevention and mentoring are being compromised.
