I trust that you make sure to meet Committee deadlines in the future.

nuclear energy is an integral component of America's energy portfolio. One hundred and four currently operating commercial nuclear reactors deliver a clean, affordable and reliable energy source that supplies 20 percent of America's…

We have spent, as I said in my opening statement, billions of dollars, many of years studying it, and all the science that we are aware of right now says that the nuclear waste can be stored there safely.

Nuclear energy is an integral component of America's energy portfolio.

Chairman Hall, Dr. Broun and myself have sent multiple letters to the NRC demanding release of this information and action on the license.

President Obama's unilateral decision to discard decades of the scientific community's hard work and ignore the current law on the books has thrown United States nuclear waste management policy into disarray.

This is the Science Committee, not the Politics Committee, and this hearing is not only justified but owed to the American public who longs for solutions not beholden to politics.

So you think it is a more important use of those funds to deposit them in the treasury than to invest them in harbor maintenance?

What are some of those other potential uses that could be more important than actually dredging a harbor to accommodate these new ships?

So then, you don't--the administration really doesn't think it is a priority to go down to those depths or those widths?

Much has been said on the floor about perhaps taking time out from a jobs agenda to pass the bill. The fact of the matter is this bill corrects a problem with the bill that shouldn't have been discussed by the last Congress; they should…

Number one, electric rates are going to go up. Number two, whether or not construction jobs in the green industry are created, I think there are virtually no manufacturing jobs that are likely to be created from the replacement of coal…

When it comes to job creation, the American people are not waiting for the right speech but, rather, the right leadership. While the Obama administration claims to seek common ground on which to help employers hire workers, House…

So the Stimulus Bill passed a year and a half ago, which was supposed to provide immediate jobs obviously at least $1-1/2 billion of that is sitting around, something that you are waiting to spend.

I have called for EPA to simply scrap the rule and start all over.

On the campaign trail in 2008, President Obama said openly and clearly that his regulatory regime would bankrupt coal companies and necessarily cause electricity prices to skyrocket.

Thank you, and I thank the panel for the testimony. Reminding Members Committee rules limit questioning to five minutes.

Out of that $1-1/5 billion that hasn't been allotted. Is that an accurate representation of the timeline of things?

This is not quality science; this is press-release science in which public relations is considered more important than an honest, transparent, scientific discussion of environmental outcomes and human health.

I am pleased that the House of Representatives has begun pushing back against this job-killing regulatory agenda through legislation like the recently passed TRAIN Act.

where are the jobs? You spent nearly $1 trillion on a stimulus bill that failed. Now you want to spend another $450 billion on another stimulus bill. This is simply repeating the same action and expecting a different outcome. Solyndra is…

This evening is a moment in history. Very few times does this House vote to advance an amendment to the United States Constitution, but we did it today. And the gentlelady from Ohio, she just talked about what Americans talk about at home…

On rollcall No. 658 I was unavoidably detained, and could not be present for the rollcall. Had I been present, I would have voted ``no.'' Amendment Offered by Mr. Dicks The Acting CHAIR. The unfinished business is the demand for a recorded…

On rollcall No. 601, I was unavoidably detained from arriving before the close of the vote. Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye.''

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 62, after line 2, insert the following new section: Sec. 609. None of the funds made available by this…
