A city that is scared is not a city that is safe.

I am going to represent the City of Boston, the amazing people who live here, work here who are making our community wonderful.

It’s unfortunate to politicize being at the scene of a tragic incident.

It is unfortunate to politicize being at the scene of a tragic incident.

My condolences and my thoughts are with the individual whose life has been lost and I'm also thinking of all of the people who were impacted here today in one of the busier parts of the city with this tragedy.

I want to be accommodating and participate however best represents the city.

We're very proud that Boston is the safest major city in the country. We have a lot to share about what has been working here.

It's insulting, we have the best police commissioner in the country, Boston's crime levels are at the lowest ever recorded in our history.

This is our city. We're going to continue following & enforcing the laws to keep all Bostonians safe. And it goes without saying that our police commissioner has my complete confidence & support.

I thank the chairman and the ranking member for their engagement in this issue, and I look forward to working with them. The chairman knows that fully 40 percent of total energy use in America is in buildings and fully 70 percent of…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Oregon will be postponed. Amendment Offered by Mr. Woodall

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Page 23, line 4, after the dollar amount insert ``(increased by $60,500,000)''. Page 32, line 4, after the dollar amount…

This is great legislation. The chairman has done a great job, and I urge passage.

I am concerned about my dad. I think my mom realizes that I'm doing my best, and I'm just trying to keep science and technology and engineering well funded through this committee.

I want to thank the gentleman from Georgia for his very kind remarks. Madam Speaker, we do not and we actually should not agree all the time, because these are sincere differences which, I think, we reflect in our personal values and in…

Just as my friend from Illinois has modified his presentation in light of current reality, I will not, unless necessary, reprise the reason for the difference between a $60 barrel of oil and a $120 barrel of oil, which is the war in Iraq…

Speculators do bet on that. Bubbles also occur in markets now. A witness to the Foreign Affairs Committee said we have 4 percent of the proven oil reserves. And yet the Republican response is, drill that 4 percent; it will solve our…

I want to recognize the hard work put in by staff on both sides of the aisle, particularly Elsa Tung on my staff, and Cobb Mixter on the Foreign Affairs staff. I want to thank their counterparts on the Republican side. I want to thank…

And most individuals agree that there are three reasons why the price is $128 a barrel rather than $60 a barrel. The three reasons are our presence in Iraq, instead of lowering the price of oil, it increased the price of oil; the…

I do believe that the oil derricks, as Katrina came through, were evacuated and covered, and the people who were responsible for those rigs did do a good job in Katrina, and I would be happy to concede that to the gentleman. But I also…

I look forward to debating the gentleman from Indiana on this issue. As you know, this Congress has acted on every item that you have cited except for drilling on the Arctic Wildlife Reserve. We've acted on every other single one.

Would the gentleman care to cite the price of a barrel of oil when the war in Iraq began?

Would my friend care to cite to us the price of a barrel of oil when this administration took power in 2001?

Instead of grandstanding on gas issues, instead of taking ``yes'' for an answer, the minority would want to kill a bill that has funded NEI Corporation of Somerset, New Jersey that enables the development of batteries for hybrid vehicles…

It has been delightful to be working with the majority on the SBIR/STTR bill. The minority has chosen to make this into a debate about energy prices. A professor at Stanford University estimates that oil prices should be at about $60 a…
