I thank my colleague. To my friends from Nevada, I, too, understand their issues of concern, and we look forward to working with them. To the Appropriations Committee, you have done great work. Mr. Chairman, there have been two laws…

Headlined today in one of the papers: ``Oil Prices to Rise as High as $120 Per Barrel Due to the Iraqi Crisis.'' Headlined a couple of days ago: ``Oil at a 3-Month High on Iraq Anxiety.'' This brings me back to an issue that I have spoken…

Those of us who talk about this debate, we are trying to save our coal miner jobs in this country.

But we are disenfranchising those States that have the nuclear option.

The President promised to make electricity generation by coal so expensive that he would drive that out of our market.

The military Code of Conduct reads: I am an American, fighting in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense. I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will…

There is no reason why the 2010 and 2014 quadrennial review has not been filed. It is just not complying with the law, and it is a failure of the bureaucracy and the Federal Government to do its job.

I am a cosponsor of the AIM Act for all the reasons that--I am not going to go into it in detail, but I would encourage my colleagues to look at that and get on it.

I don't see a downside to it. I just don't. It helps bring capital in the early formation.

I too am disappointed with the FCC, but not for the totally same--

Rural America cannot be left out in the ability to receive real-time, accurate information, and these agreements help them maintain that in a very competitive world.

It is great to be here. I know it is at the end of the debate. First, let me thank Buck McKeon for doing a great job as the chairman, and I know as Adam will do, will recognize his years of service, and this is a great bill. Adam, thank…

Let me just say, as I try to wait for a few more colleagues, I would ask my colleague to define multistakeholder. They can't. The Internet community says it is us. The international community, the Russias and the Chinas say it is us. So…

For over two decades, U.S. oversight of the Internet's domain name system has kept the global Internet free and open. Though dismissed by NTIA as merely a clerical role of assigning and matching domain names with IP addresses, U.S…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 370, after line 23, insert the following: SEC. 1082. NTIA RETENTION OF DNS RESPONSIBILITIES PENDING…

The Shimkus amendment would require the Government Accountability Office to look at this agreement, to make sure it is in our national interest. The Shimkus amendment would ask the Government Accountability Office to look at this agreement…

My position is more pipes, not less. More pipes, not regulated pipe. Competitive markets versus controlled markets.

I just want to remind my friend from Texas that we do have a long-term storage solution, and it is called the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, which is the law of the land.

The DC Circuit Court affirmed that the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, and I quote, 'provides that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and I'--in quotation--'shall consider the Department of Energy's license application to store nuclear waste at…

Every individual has a right to live in a free society. This May, the Ice Hockey World Championship 2014 will take place in Minsk, Belarus, challenging the Belarusian Government to demonstrate that it lives up to the core principles of…

I believe the reform of TSCA is a worthy effort that we can craft legislation that would be supported by a majority of our committee's membership.

Since our March 12 hearing on the original discussion draft of the Chemicals in Commerce Act, we have been working on a bipartisan basis to find common ground.

If there has been frustration, it is just this is a very difficult process.
