Expanding government at any level to enshrine preferences into a costly legal requirement is bad policy.

In fact, Mr. Jaffe, a question to you. First of all, I want to say thank you. I have appreciated your counsel through this.

The reality is that biotechnology, time and time again, has been proven safe. This is simply not a debatable point.

The fact is scientific consensus on the safety of genetically engineered products is overwhelming.

Before the idea that the government at any level should step in and mandate that they be labeled borders on the absurd.

I do think it is important that for foods that are labeled non-GMO, that there is a Federal standard for that.

I asked Representative Kate Webb, the assistant majority leader in Vermont, that question. She said she agreed with it.

Do you believe that the American taxpayer has received good value for the tens of billions of federal dollars that have been spent on carbon capture technologies to date, yes or no?

We have this obligation, just as you do, to make sure that the CPSC statutes are implemented in a way that is both legal, and appropriate, and useful.

Today, this body will take up the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act. It has the noble intention of reducing the risk that the Iranians will develop a nuclear arsenal. Unfortunately, I think passage of this bill will do just the opposite…

Tomorrow hundreds of young people from across Kansas will join thousands of Americans, young and old, on The National Mall for the March for Life. They are here to remind us all that, in the midst of all the important issues we talk about…

Does anybody care--today want to say today that OPEC is dead?

No defense required.

I think if we unleash markets, glorious things will happen.

I think we made a mistake putting it in place in the 1970s.

Look, at the end of the day, this is a Bill that is needed to make sure that folks all across America can afford food.

The proposal, my friends, is very simple. The FDA, our Nation's foremost food safety authority, should have the authority to require labeling on genetically-modified foods.

Thank you for yielding, Mrs. Blackburn. Thank you to you and to Mr. Butterfield for being cosponsors of this bill.

Today I rise to congratulate the 931st Air Refueling Group--McConnell Air Force Base's reserve unit--on receiving the Raincross Trophy, which recognizes it as the best unit in the 4th Air Force. I have spent a lot of time with the…

I thank the gentleman for this opportunity. The President spoke last week and he presented nothing that could be remotely considered a strategy, and yet, the American people understand the destruction of radical Islamic terrorism is…

On Tuesday, June 24, I was unavoidably detained. On rollcalls 343, 344, 345, 346, and 348, I would have voted ``no.'' On rollcalls 341, 342, 347, and 349, I would have voted ``aye.'' ____________________
