Economic growth of just over 1\1/2\ percent is unsatisfactory. We all want a better economy and better jobs. In south central Kansas, the aviation manufacturing industry has been hit particularly hard. Machinists, engineers, small business…

It's been just under 2 months since the attacks in Boston, and in those intervening weeks, the silence of Muslim leaders has been deafening. And that is sad, but perhaps most importantly, it's dangerous. There have now been at least a…

When the most devastating terrorist attacks on America in the last 20 years come overwhelmingly from people of a single faith, and are performed in the name of that faith, a special obligation falls on that faith's leaders to respond.

This Sunday, I had the good fortune of being in Rosalia, Kansas, at the high school graduation for Flinthills High. Flinthills High has 11 strong graduating in 2013, but it was remarkable. With all the challenges the country faces, we had…

I want to thank Chairman Rogers and Ranking Member Ruppersberger for all of their hard work over many months, now years, in bringing this to where we are today, and I want to thank all of the committee staff who worked so hard to bring it…

There's talk about warrantless searches all across America. The legislation does no such thing. It's a short bill. It's 26 pages. I would urge everyone to go read it for themselves. It fairly clearly limits what government may do, what…

They have done a phenomenal job of taking care of our team in Kansas and building a great airplane.

I am puzzled how this discussion evolves.

This is about identifying costs.

I think it is silly to make statements about perfection and background.

You can't let these facts go unchallenged.

It is an honor today to tell you about one really good man. He was born in Pilson, Kansas, and later became an ordained priest in Wichita in 1940. This very good man, a fellow named Emil Kapaun, served as a military chaplain during World…

Great. That is my question. Commissioner, do you agree?

I am actually going to propose legislation that does that. I hope it to be bipartisan.

I would love to give you all more capacity to control those processes and legislation I am drafting, I think, will move us along that way.

We're now some 11 weeks out from the tragedy that occurred in Newtown, Connecticut. And while all the talk today is about the sequester, we still have politicians and pundits all across the country that are purporting to try and solve this…

The challenge is you have no idea and you have no incentive to get it right because you don't have your own personal skin in the game.

In my judgment, you have not succeeded.

I have a fundamentally different view of this.

The sequester is here. It is time. We have got to get these spending reductions in place. It is going to be a home run.

When I go around in Kansas and talk to folks and talk to them about a business that supports 1.2 million American jobs and over $150 billion of wealth creation across the U.S. economy and ask, ``What do you think a President would do if…

A global Internet free from government control is in the best interests of all Americans.

I am actually--I am working on some legislation to give FERC a little more authority in trying to streamline this process.

We ought to be exporting from America.

I think there is also a circular effect, that is, if you know that you can efficiently build a pipeline, folks will go look for in other places as well.
