When I think about banks and the way that -- if you bounce a check, they're going to charge you $35 or $50 for a bounced check. And they're going to demand strict accountability. But when they get billions, they don't want to be…

Elijah Cummings predicts that pretty soon Congress is going to have to figure out where it went because there's another $350 billion in the pipeline.

There is nothing that upsets me more than a bank that comes to the Congress begging for money, and then once they get the money, turn around and say, na, na, na, see you later. I'm not going to tell you anything.

Elijah Cummings predicts that, pretty soon, Congress is going to have to figure out where it went, because there's another $350 billion in the pipeline.

They point is that these people are fortunate to have a job.

They hear about the bailouts of Wall Street. They hear that their tax dollars are being paid to AIG and these people going on these junkets and all that. They hear all of that. But they feel like it's ring around the rosy. They hear a lot…

They were getting their manicures, their facials, their pedicures and their massages.

Do you regret spending $10 billion in Lehman's cash reserves on bonuses, stock dividends and stock buy-backs, as your firm faced liquidity crisis?

What they're saying to me is Congressman, every day when I go to my portfolio, I'm seeing, that for my pension or whatever, I'm seeing that my money is leaving.

I support the amendment that you have offered, and I thank you again for your leadership on the Coast Guard authorization and all of the transportation issues that our Nation faces. The manager's amendment includes provisions offered by…

this amendment merely, simply stated, makes sense. It amends section 708 to require the creation of a program that will enable the Coast Guard to test the use of biometrics technology to identify individuals intercepted by the service. I…

I support this amendment, also. Under section 7-105 of title 46, United States Code, the Department of Homeland Security is required to issue a biometric credential to individuals who are authorized to have unescorted access to secure…

I heartily support the amendment of Mr. Stupak. The amount of land being conveyed here under this amendment is only 5.5 acres, and I believe it is appropriate that once the Coast Guard leaves this site, the land and the lighthouse be made…

I fully support this amendment by Mr. Bishop, the Vice Chair of our subcommittee. This amendment would require the Coast Guard to detail the extent to which State and local law enforcement entities are augmenting Coast Guard resources by…

the amendment offered by Mr. LaTourette and Mr. Boustany, the ranking member on the Coast Guard subcommittee, would amend section 720, a section that addresses waterside security around LNG terminals and tankers, and I fully support it…

I want to join with Chairman Oberstar in strongly opposing this amendment. But we do plan to work with the gentleman on this. Title X grants mariners a "change of venue" when they appeal the suspension and revocation of their professional…

I will never forget when we opened one of them. The area had been drug infested, a highrise, and when we opened it up, literally a lot of residents came back and they were crying because they were going to move in. There were others who…

After providing a thorough overview of the challenges facing our nation's emergency care system, the time for action is long overdue.

I urge my colleagues to support this worthwhile measure.

The naming of a postal building in one's honor is truly a salute to their accomplishments and public service.

I believe that persons who have made meaningful contributions to society should be recognized and honored.

I am pleased to introduce this bill to designate five United States Postal Service buildings after five individuals who made significant contributions to Baltimore and the State of Maryland.

I am honored to submit this legislation saluting five people from my district who spent their lives giving service to others.

Muhammad Ali, the greatest boxer of all time once said that 'service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.'
