A Clean Air Act that continues to drive down pollution without causing undue damage to jobs and the economy is an environmental legacy we should be striving for.

I appreciate the gentleman yielding. I would just say, in the spirit of bipartisanship, at some point I would like to bring up some great blue crabs from the Gulf of Mexico, and the gentleman can bring up some of those great Maryland blue…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Of course, as the gentleman from Maryland knows, Puerto Rico is facing a serious debt crisis and is in need of structural reform. That is critical. That is why our committee is starting the process of…

This is a simple motion which will postpone further consideration of the President's veto of the bill gutting ObamaCare and defunding Planned Parenthood. This short delay will ensure that the Members of the House and the American people…

Cap and trade is not a policy this United States should follow.

I thank you. I appreciate my colleague from Alabama's (Mr. Aderholt) comments. Of course, Mr. Speaker, so much of the national attention on Hurricane Katrina focused on the city of New Orleans. We all remember the pictures, the visuals, of…

We have been grappling with that here trying to remove some of those burdens.

I caution Administrator Strickland against completing the transition just because a new administration will take over in January 2017.

ICANN must improve its transparency and accountability.

Progress does not guarantee a successful outcome. And given the importance of the Internet, anything short of a successful outcome is unacceptable.

My concern has been that changing the Internet's governance structure could jeopardize these two ideals, especially if enemies of Internet freedom and bad actors in the international community have more control over its management.

I have remained concerned whether this transition was in the best interest of the Internet and whether the global community was capable of taking on this responsibility.

Yes, and we have seen this time and time again, that these kind of regulations, and ultimately these new fees and taxes that would be paid are ultimately going to be paid by consumers.

I have always felt that the reason that the industry has been so successful is because the Federal government hadn't figured out a way to regulate it, to slow it down.

People need more electricity, and then you come out with a rule that other agencies said were going to have devastating impacts, much worse than you anticipated, and those things happen, and then you say, well, yes, it happened, but maybe…

Mobile and fixed broadband networks are the infrastructure of the 21st century.

I continued to be baffled by this president's belief that the Federal government needs to now swoop in and 'fix' the Internet.

Even President Obama stated the 'Internet has been one of the greatest gifts our economy--and our society--has ever known.'

The importance of today's hearing and the issue before us cannot be overstated.

``The number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty-thousand, but each State shall have at least one Representative; and until such enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse three…

I hope he is not planning just to be a propaganda czar; that he would actually be focused on working with us to get solutions to this.

I want to join with Chairman Upton in urging the President to immediately institute a travel ban until such time that they can firmly and scientifically prove that Americans are safe from having more Ebola patients coming into the United…

I urge adoption, Mr. Chairman, and yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Scalise). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment Offered by Mr. Yoho

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: At the end of the bill, before the short title, insert the following: Sec. ___. None of the funds made available in this Act…

I do think that is one area where we found a lot of bipartisan support in the way it passed the House.
