I look forward to doing everything I can to support you and the committee's work to provide our military with the essential resources it needs.

I just want to say the defense communities that surround both Barksdale and Fort Polk have a long and proven track record of fully supporting--enthusiastically so--these two vital military installations.

I really have been wondering about mobile technologies where we could take the best medicine we have...

I think that it is going to be a long time before they recover, and you know, we continue to assist them every way we can.

I advocate inside the Pentagon with the Army that they modernize the Army National Guard in a concurrent and balanced manner.

This is a particular concern at a time when we have seen a dramatic increase in assaults on agents. And just last year, assaults on agents were up 76 percent. They totaled 774 for 2017.

Our government has placed the men and women who patrol our border, as well as the American citizens who live on or near the border, in a very difficult position.

Social Security is helping veterans. Social Security is doing a great job hiring our veterans.

You know, our veterans deserve the best service from our government, including Social Security.

But we need to remember that just voting no every time a budget is on the floor doesn't give you more money to serve the people that we complain about.

That is why I have introduced bipartisan legislation, H.R. 2243, the HEARTS Act, the Health Equity and Access for Returning Troops and Servicemembers Act.

I have long been committed to ensuring that our country does right by our veterans.

This new park will be a win for conservation and a win for access and it will be a win for the local communities.

This is an unprecedented move that will give local leaders a powerful voice and a seat at the table.

This act does that. Specifically, it creates three new separate national monuments, creates a management council, transfers a historically significant trail to the state of Utah, and creates a new national park.

The situation has largely been forced upon residents by a misguided Federal policy, reminding us once again that Washington has a bad habit of drafting policies without giving local communities a seat at the table.

How in the world does creating a national park in some way endanger tourism? In fact, our intent here is to do exactly the opposite, and that is to foster and to increase tourism.

In September, I led a letter with 17 members of Congress from Texas and Louisiana to Attorney General Sessions to request a thorough investigation into Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast's actions of selling aborted fetal tissue for financial…

With regard to terrorism, the Department of Homeland Security has recently indicated the threat environment in the U.S. is perhaps the most serious since the 9/11 attacks.

The number two official on Mr. Mueller's team, former FBI General Counsel Andrew Weissmann, as you know, was just shown to have made biased comments against President Trump.

I have always found it interesting that Director Comey never sought to obtain the hacked DNC servers.

The Department of Justice recently admitted in court that they are treating the President's disturbing and combative tweets as 'official statements of the President of the United States.'

To date, you and other government officials have refused to comply with the production of these documents.

Is it your belief that a sitting President can be guilty of obstructing justice?

It seems like it has gotten to the point where we are deciding our case law based on who is in the executive branch.
