The schools have a right to expect payment, but they also have an obligation to their veterans to adjust their processes.

I think the point is that we are trying to get at, with the fiscal situation that we are in, eliminating frivolous, wasteful conferences that really appear to be extravagant in spending.

ROA and REA support passage of H.R. 2345 introduced by Representative Stutzman, which would extend authorization for the Secretary of VA to pay a monthly assistance allowance to disabled veterans training for or competing for the…

I introduced H.R. 2301 to reduce the administrative burden on both the VA and the schools as a means to speed up processing.

I thank the gentlewoman. It's good to be with you all this evening and talking about the situation that we are currently in in our country. I will tell you, what a sobering moment, being first elected to Washington and coming and finding…

I'd like to honor a native member of Indiana's Air National Guard today. Staff Sergeant Andre Carboneau was recently awarded Indiana Air National Guard Airman of the Year for 2010. The honorable award is designed to recognize members that…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. I find it very interesting in listening to the discussion here today about whose responsibility it is to feed those who are hungry. I don't think anybody on this floor would say that we don't want to…

I stand honored to represent Indiana's Third Congressional District, which is home to one of the United States Armed Forces' finest members, Army National Guard Specialist Terrance McKinney. After a 2-day competition between 14,000…

I thank the chairman. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of H.R. 802, as amended, as this bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs to establish an award program to recognize businesses that excel in hiring veterans…

I thank the chairman for yielding. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support for H.R. 1657 that would revise the enforcement penalties for misrepresentation of a business concern as a small business concern owned and controlled by a veteran…

Thanks to my colleague from Arkansas. I appreciate his comments and what he is saying, and I agree with him wholeheartedly. I can tell you as a small business owner from Indiana, coming from a family farm background and having a small…

I thank my colleague, Congressman Burton, for his comments. What a momentous day, as he said, that we can all take courage and to look to the future, but as well as celebrate the ending of a chapter that has caused so much pain and so much…

We are 1 day away from Tax Day, and I believe that this is an appropriate time to be talking about the budget for our country. Many folks back in Indiana and across this country are talking about how they are going to meet the demands of…

Thank you, Mr. Bishop, for your comments. Mr. Speaker, as I think about some of the comments that were made tonight from Mr. Garrett and from Mr. Gardner, as well as from Mr. Bishop, it brings back a lot of thoughts from experiences of…

Thank you, Mr. Garrett. At this time I would like to yield to the gentleman from the Fourth District of Colorado (Mr. Gardner).

Thank you. Next, I would like to yield to the co-chair of the Constitution Caucus, the gentleman from Utah (Mr. Bishop).

Thank you. It is probably all too common, unfortunately, because this document, I believe, as I said earlier, is one that doesn't appear to be exciting. But when you read it and when you realize what it does for our freedom and that it…

I urge my colleagues to fully fund Pell Grant awards at a maximum level of $5,550.

We must substantially reduce our federal spending so that America will remain globally competitive and our economy will get back on track.

I believe that a biennial budget cycle will result in better scrutiny of federal spending and the elimination of wasteful and duplicative government programs.

In order to maintain our global competiveness it is essential that we drastically reduce our federal spending.

I urge the Committee to recognize the importance of investing in Community Development Financial Institutions.

HR 1 would make hurtful cuts to priorities such as Community Development Block Grants, Pell grants and Head Start.

Make no mistake about it, this responsibility falls to us-- Republican and Democrat alike.

the investment that this country and this Congress has in the metropolitan region of New Orleans is a wise investment.
