We need prevention and treatment, absolutely. We also need the right kind of interdiction.

The overseas scholarship programs are popular among our Members because most of these programs support American educational institutions abroad. Students that participate and receive an education based on American values help shape their…

I urge a ``no'' vote, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Hastings). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes…

I thank the gentleman from Texas for bringing this issue to our attention. The committee takes seriously reports of Americans abroad being treated unfairly, denied due process, or being used as political pawns. {time} 1630 Colombia is a…

I am concerned about your proposed--in your budget, your cuts to the Office of Education, in fact, zero.

That will be in the minds of those young people from here on.

We want to make steel great again.

The RECLAIM Act would take $2 billion from the Abandoned Mine Lands Fund to require it be used for what it was saved up for.

I was completely flabbergasted to see in your budget request the elimination of that program.
