Roger Marshall

I would like to thank the chairman, as well as Representatives Dan Lipinski and Randy Weber, for cosponsoring H.R. 4675.

Once again, I would like to thank Representative Dan Lipinski, Chairman Lamar Smith and Energy Subcommittee Chairman Randy Weber for cosponsoring this important legislation.

Congress must reprioritize basic research in low dose radiation so we know we are using the best available science.

H.R. 4675 directs DOE to identify ongoing challenges in low dose radiation science and develop a long-term basic research plan.

This research program is part of the Science Committee's continued effort to ensure America remains a leader in basic research and innovation.

A month ago, the President told us someone with Ebola reaching our shores was unlikely and that 'we have taken the necessary precautions' to 'increase screening at airports so that someone with the virus does not get on a plane for the…

The trust and credibility of the administration and Government are waning as the American public loses confidence each day with demonstrated failures of the current strategy, but that trust must be restored, but will only be restored with…

Errors in judgment have been made, to be sure, and it is our immediate responsibility today to learn from those errors, correct them rapidly, and move forward effectively as one team, one fight.

I restate my ongoing concern that administration officials still refuse to consider any travel restrictions for the more than 1,000 travelers entering the United States each week from Ebola hot zones.

I agree with Mr. Coffman, who cochairs, along with me, the Balanced Budget Caucus. I agree with him on both counts: one, that I have got a good amendment here, and that we ought not to pass the Murphy amendment. I think everybody…

This is a pretty simple amendment. We give fire retardant uniforms to all soldiers deploying to our combat zones. National Guard soldiers here in the United States do not have fire retardant uniforms, for the most part. And yet some…

Earlier this year, the President made an announcement concerning troop buildup, the proposed plan where Afghanistan is concerned and the plan to increase the presence of American soldiers there. He made the announcement in Eisenhower Hall…

I just want to take this opportunity, on behalf of all members of the Armed Services Committee and all Members of the Congress, to thank the men and women of our National Guard, whatever branch, for the service that you provide this…

I simply observe that our very effective military dogs cannot function at all without their handlers, and so I would just like to recognize and thank those who work with these dogs and make them all they can be. The dogs are very important…

I do view this as a bailout of sorts, but it's not a bailout for the borrowers, it's not a bailout for the lenders. If you understand the bill, you understand that actually the deals that the borrowers get are not particularly good. The…

I would also like to clarify what sort of trial would be involved in this process. Am I correct in my understanding that under the bill being debated, if this judicial process in any way involves classified information, the classified…

I would like to clarify some elements of the process to be established under title II of the bill we debate today. Title II of the bill would assist the telecommunications carriers in dealing with the civil lawsuits they currently face by…

A deal is a deal. It is not a one-way street. We give accommodations; they agree to accommodations in exchange. They have got to live up to the accommodations that they have, in fact, agreed upon. If they don't, we need to take some…

the Chinese economy at the moment is not very diverse. It's actually fairly fragile. It's quite large, but it's way too dependent upon manufacturing and the consumption of others, not its own consumers, but consumers throughout the world…

I very much appreciate the job that you and the ranking member and the staff and members of the committee have done in putting this bill together. It is an appropriate balance. Madam Chairman, the bill appropriately balances the needs of…

Mr. Ross, you are wonderful to do these hour-long Blue Dog sessions here to give people an idea what Blue Dogs are all about as far as fiscal responsibility is concerned. I think you and Mr. Pomeroy give me a little too much credit. If you…

I didn't know Charlie well; I only met Charlie once before I came to Congress and then had a few occasions to work with him in Congress. I certainly knew his reputation. He was a great advocate for veterans and a great advocate for…

as I thought about today's debate, Tom Paine's words in the crisis came to mind: these are the times that try men's souls. It is not that the Army is in tatters. Our Army in the Revolutionary War was in tatters at the time; it was just…

due to a D-Day ceremony, I was unfortunately unable to catch a train that would have gotten me to Washington in time for this evening's votes. I would have voted in favor of H.R. 5441, the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations…

we have an amendment that proposes to cut $20 million, pardon me, cut $24 million from the Office of the Under Secretary of Management and add $20 million to the employment verification program. CBO has scored it. We have been told that…
