"It is critical that this Congress do everything in its power to create and support sustainable good paying jobs for working and middle class Americans."

"If they get a shot at any of the jobs that the Chairman just mentioned, they would die for it."

"the fact is that it seems like all the stats are going up, and I think the thing that upsets me more than anything else is how this President seems to be given credit for nothing."

"The Honorable Elijah E. Cummings, a Member of Congress from the State of Maryland, Opening Statement."
