Come on. Now, we have another bureaucracy coming along, blaming the smaller institutions, putting more regulations upon them.

the regulatory system prior to Dodd-Frank failed to protect consumers from harmful practices in this gigantic lending market.

As America's largest free trade agreement in Asia, the KORUS Free Trade Agreement promises more export opportunities for U.S. businesses and manufacturers than ever before.

Here in the United States, we are blessed with the fact that 1.5 million Americans of Korean descent call this nation 'home.'

To stand here and say that we have been 100 percent effective on every item other than postage stamps is to misconstrue the practical world.

This committee and its chairwoman and I have introduced legislation to make those sanctions against North Korea statutory.

So the requests of the United States and its allies are simply to ask Pyongyang to live up to its agreements, to abandon its nuclear arsenal.

The Agreement will also provide American companies important access to South Korea's $1 trillion market and boost the overall level of two-way trade beyond the $87 billion value recorded in 2010.

I added an amendment stipulating that whenever the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. is examining a potential sale and the buyer is a state-owned enterprise, it will be reviewed at the highest level so that something like this…

Should we be stockpiling rare earths, as our partners around the world are doing, in preparation for future disruptions?

It is time to tell China that MFN ends 6 months from today.

One initiative we think we can help implement right away is the recycling of rare earths.

What are the implications in terms of our national security?

Look at the Keystone pipeline coming down from Canada to Texas, which branches, really, into central Illinois. It's been tied up by the EPA and other regulators for 3 years. We're looking at 20,000 new jobs. I think it's a $5 billion to $8…

So that just demonstrates, Judge, the fact that styrene is so pervasive in all of our consumer products. Now, what has happened is the National Toxicology Program said that styrene is a carcinogen. They looked at a couple of studies, did a…

Thank you, Judge Carter, for the opportunity to be with you this evening. I spend, as you know, most of my time working on manufacturing issues. Our congressional district in the northern part of Illinois is home to over 2,000 factories…

Plus we would end up losing the people that made the machine tools, the actual molds, the dyes for the injection systems and other types of systems and molding systems that are used in the manufacture of these plastics. I appreciate…

There are a lot of problems with this bill as we have heard about already. In fact, on the wall of my office here in Washington, I have two pictures, among many. One is a picture of W. Edwards Deming and myself, taken just before he passed…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Strike section 10 (beginning on page 81, line 14; ``Fee Setting Authority''), as amended, and insert the…

I yield myself the balance of my time. Madam Chair, you don't strike the right balance between an inventor's constitutional right to file for an invention and giving a patent czar the authority to keep him out of the box by allowing him to…

In my office there are two photographs, one with me and Edwards Deming and the other of Dr. Ray Damadian, who is the inventor of the MRI. Dr. Damadian visited our office, and I said, What's wrong with this bill? He said, Everything. He…

I missed a series of votes today because of a family medical issue. If I had been here, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 389; ``yea'' on rollcall No. 390; ``yea'' on rollcall No. 391; ``yea'' on rollcall No. 392; ``no'' on…
