I yield 3 minutes to the distinguished gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Lynch).

I would say to the gentleman that is leaving the floor now who just spoke: the arguments do matter. This is still the United States of America. We still have constitutional rights, which we declare we will uphold every 2 years. I yield 2…

Yes, we are. Mr. Speaker, about how much time do I have? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Maryland has 25 seconds remaining. The gentleman from California has 4 minutes remaining.

I am prepared to close. Again, Mr. Speaker, there is nothing to hide. We need to release the transcripts, and just as significantly, we need to hear from the experts. This is a very, very serious issue, and I think that Members of Congress…

I have run out of time, but we have to resolve this, gentlemen. We have to find a way to get this done, because, as I said in my opening statement, legislatively I don't see it happening.

It is a damn shame that we had to come to a hearing for you all to communicate.

We can do better, Mr. P. We can do better. Would you agree?

Nobody should have to go through that, period, woman or man; and I am so sorry that that happened.

More than 3 years ago, a wave of political change swept through the Middle East and North Africa.

Prices have definitely gone up from about $40 or so early in the 2000s to up to about $180 now.

Thank you very much. I want to thank the gentleman for yielding. And I want to thank you and Mr. Horsford and the Congressional Black Caucus and certainly Mr. Payne for being here tonight. We are, indeed, at a critical moment in our…

I thank the gentlelady for yielding. Mr. Chair, since February of 2010, more than 8 million jobs have been create in the our Nation. Over the last year, the unemployment rate has fallen by four-fifths of a percentage point. These numbers…

They find a way to get it done. And sometimes we make adjustments.

Put simply, the Affordable Health Care Act saves lives and it prevents people from going through pain.

I am hoping that, as we move forward, since this is the law, by the way, that we move forward to make the law better, and not try to destroy it.

I stood on Saturday and I talked to those people that waited all day trying to enroll.

I agree with him, we need to move not to common ground, but to higher ground, what this Nation is all about.

The can-do attitude. Can-do.

If we are not better, we will not be.

Unfortunately, our Republican friends have voted more than 50 times to repeal, de-fund, and undermine the Affordable Health Care Act.

I don't know what my colleagues would say to that person. Say don't apply for the Affordable Health Care Act, when it is the law?

my mom and dad only had a second grade education; they were former sharecroppers. Worked like slaves, but yet and still they were able to have a son who became a congressman.

In 2009 this committee conducted an investigation of DOT's hazmat program, and were made aware of an internal DOT analysis which showed that 60 to 90 percent of all accidents were unreported.

I pray that they will, leave their political hats at the door so that Americans, all of them, will be served the way that the Congress intends for them to be served.

I don't want them to be in a position where they become so paranoid that they don't do what we, the Congress, had mandated that they do.
