We will discuss today how the Form 990 was changed, whether those changes have promoted compliance and transparency.

Welcome to this morning's hearing on public charities.

This one-size-fits-all approach is a disaster. That's why we must repeal this bill in the name of quality, in the name of cost, and in name of getting this economy back on track.

As a physician with over 30 years clinical experience taking care of patients as a cardiac surgeon, I'm certainly familiar with the problems in our health care system, and there's no denying we need to do substantive reforms. But, Mr…

As the House Agriculture Committee considers farm bill legislation, I rise in strong support of responsible policies for all of our agriculture producers, especially the sugar, rice, and soybean industries. Our no-cost sugar program has…

I thank my friend from Texas for yielding time to me, and I thank the committee for bringing this resolution to the House floor today. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 3412, to designate the facility of the United States Postal…

It is great to see you here today, and we appreciate the tremendous work you all are doing to reform this complex system in the U.K.

I thank the gentleman for yielding time to me. Madam Speaker, the sad fact today is that this country does not have a coherent energy strategy, pure and simple. Now I can tell you, I come from Louisiana, where we know firsthand, probably…

My home State of Louisiana has a real stake in this. We are a State that depends very heavily on trade and exports.

Clearly, granting PNTR at this point to Russia does not give us leverage.

Our trade policy in this is a critical part, a component, of our foreign policy.

I want to thank you for the series of hearings we are having on these temporary tax provisions.

I thank Chairman Camp for his leadership on this issue. I rise in support of this bill. Let's be clear: successful health care reform efforts must begin by lowering costs, promoting high- quality health care, and fostering innovation…

I want to thank the chairman of the subcommittee and the chairman of the full committee for working with me to try to rectify a problem with the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund and the big-time shortfall we've got in dredging funds going…

I think we all agree that evasion of our trade remedy laws is a serious problem, and additional authorities, perhaps legislation, is going to be needed to provide more tools.

By introducing the PROTECT Act, Congressman Boustany and Richmond have given me some hope that in the future, Customs enforcement may not be a part of my job.

Improper payments of tax refunds have cost taxpayers over $100 billion in recent years. This hearing will explore a major source of the problem - identity thieves who steal Social Security numbers to engage in tax fraud.

I recently received the first monthly update from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs since the announced delays associated with the Lafayette and Lake Charles VA Community- based Outpatient Clinics. VA Secretary Eric Shinseki's office…

one of the fundamental problems not addressed in the Affordable Care Act is the--in the context of accountable care organizations is we still have Federal barriers in place that prohibit physicians to integrate care with hospitals, and…
