I am mystified that the Federal Government believes that it can identify a problem, childhood obesity.

Don't you think that is at least in part because they are afraid of you?

I hope this one will reconsider that.

Since coming to Congress 9 years ago, I have sadly relearned that the government in Washington D.C. only grows and grows and grows. When Democrats and many Republicans, too, come to the floor of the House and talk about spending cuts, they…

This morning I rise in support of the TRAIN Act, H.R. 2401. This bill provides a commonsense approach that addresses a series of EPA regulations that will cost jobs and cripple our Nation's economy. TRAIN requires a commission simply to…

I came to Washington, D.C., 9 months ago with the hope that we would restore a little bit of common sense and a whole lot of spending control to Washington, D.C. I also came to Washington, D.C., having never heard of an eco-ambassador. Now…

I rise this morning to talk about how our President has systematically and relentlessly attacked the general aviation industry. You know, this is one of the few last great manufacturing gems left in America. It creates $1.2 million…

I thank the gentleman for yielding and for his hard work on this important piece of legislation. In Kansas, we build airplanes with American workers. The Boeing Company has a big facility there. Indeed, last night, on a telephone town…

That expertise is very apparent in a half a billion dollars being lost by the American taxpayer.

Do you think these emails, they were just wrong, they were making this stuff, they weren't hurried?

I have heard not a single person stand up and take any accountability for a single dollar of taxpayer money that is gone.

Throughout history, great change has mostly come from steady, determined hard work performed over long, long periods of time. Think of our Revolution. It took years. Think of the war that freed the slaves and the progression towards racial…

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 65, line 19, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $6,246,000)''. Page 158, line 25, after the…

Let me begin by saying thank you to the committee chairman for running a great piece of legislation. I think this bill will go a long way towards creating a pro-growth economy. We've done a great deal of work to reduce spending on this…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Kansas will be postponed. The Clerk will read. The Clerk read as follows: Office of…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I will be very brief. I certainly care deeply about clean air, so do all the businesses in Kansas, so do all the agriculture people. We want clean water, but we know how to do it and we're doing it. You…

Over the past 1\1/2\ years, we've seen this President take away a lot of our freedoms with big spending and a big health care plan. I want to talk about another risk to American freedom today, and that is the United Nations Arms Trade…

President Obama has systematically and recklessly attacked the general aviation industry. It's one of America's last remaining great manufacturing industries, employing over 1.2 million people and contributing $150 billion in economic…

Last night this body passed a piece of legislation that takes a first good step toward fixing America's spending problem, toward taking on our spending addiction and addressing the enormous deficits and debt that our Nation faces. But we…

This past week, a great American family retired from service to our Nation. Lieutenant General Bob Durbin and his wife, Diana, spent 36 years in service to our country in the United States Army working with soldiers and their families. On…

I thank the gentleman from South Carolina. I just want to say a couple of things quickly. I had a chance to hear, speaking before me, the gentleman from Oklahoma, who was talking about drilling and service companies. Until just over 6…

I know we're wrapping up here tonight, but I want to talk about one more thing and how the President's policies and his Environmental Protection Agency are destroying jobs in Kansas. In Kansas' Fourth Congressional District, we build an…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Page 23, line 4, after the dollar amount insert ``(reduced by $45,641,000)''. Page 62, line 2, after the dollar amount…

The amendment that I presented would decrease the Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy program by $45.6 million and the funding for DOE's Vehicle Technologies Program. While I am certainly 100 percent…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I wanted to come to the floor today and thank Chairman Rogers and the ranking member for the great work they've done. I do not sit on this committee, but I did have the opportunity to serve in uniform our country…
