Bill Keating

I thank the gentleman. My friends on the other side of the aisle say they're for the all-of- the-above strategy when it comes to oil. Let's be clear. They support oil above all--above Medicare, above putting police on the streets, above…

Human rights concerns ought to weigh heavily in the choice of strategy and instruments in an anti-crime program in Mexico.

It is a terrible message to send to our young people.

I don't see the benefit of legalizing drugs.

I am a big believer in the BEST.

I understand some of the difficulties, Mr. Alvarez, of actually bringing some of these difficult cases to trial...

Most of the effective methods at dismantling some of the DTOs is to go after the transport of cash.

I would like to thank Chairman McCaul for conducting this hearing and giving us the opportunity to investigate the impact of Mexican drug cartel violence on the U.S. Homeland Security.

I wish to also thank Victor Avila, who was wounded during the same incident, for his great service to our Nation.

It should be a paramount responsibility and duty for us to bring to justice the terrible acts of people I would term criminals and thugs and murderers.

The one thing that we shouldn't do is just look at what I think is an artificial number of $100 billion.

An overwhelming majority of my constituents do not want this Congress to cut federal initiatives that serve them.

Reducing benefits would not reduce the deficit, but it would greatly harm our seniors.

Getting people back to work. That is the best way to address all of our country's problems.

I am concerned and have shared on the floor as well the fact that people like Mark Zandi from Moody's... would cost us 700,000 lost jobs by 2012.

The federal government should be funding these initiatives. They save American lives and create American jobs.

Cutting education priorities is the wrong move at the wrong time.

Most of my constituents wanted the budget to reflect their top priority. And amazingly and not surprisingly, however, that is job creation.

My constituents in the South Shore, Cape, and islands in Massachusetts have very strong opinions on how their taxpayer money should be spent.

Most of my constituents want this budget to reflect their top priority: job creation.

As a new Congressman, I take these budget negotiations seriously, knowing that my constituents are relying on me to share with Congress their personal stories and to make sure that they be heard over the political rhetoric that often…

I am a bit dumbfounded that that sense of urgency hasn't resulted in quicker action.

I see a major problem, and we are going to work with you as a committee to see if we can give you more authority.

I don't think the public would be satisfied if they knew what those minimum standards are.

I am glad that this airport, a major hub, will be working with TSA to implement these new security measures.
