Obviously in the STEM arena we want to make sure that the academic curriculum that is offered in the classroom for young people in that K-12 space is as rigorous and holistic as it can possibly be.

I thank the gentlelady for yielding. I want to congratulate her as well on her amazing advocacy on behalf of consumers across this country and her leadership on the Committee on Financial Services. Mr. Speaker, here we are again forced to…

We don't want to pay more for less.

This is about net equality.

The FCC has to have the means to fulfill its mission, to protect consumers, promote competition, and advance innovation.

I have high confidence, I want you to know, that there is a strong legal basis for the regulations and the position that you are taking.

I want to thank you generally. I want to thank the EPA, and I want to thank the Obama administration for picking up the slack on the issue of climate change.

I think when the draft suggests that Section 706 not be deemed an affirmative grant of authority to the FCC, that does go too far.

Congress has not done the job that it should do. The EPA, again, I think, with sound legal authority, has really taken a leadership role.

Investing in drinking-water infrastructure protects public health, creates jobs, and boosts the economy, and this is something that we should all support.

For too long, Republicans in Congress have been more interested in attacking EPA than supporting the important work the Agency does to protect human health, and safe drinking water should be a bipartisan issue.

The majority's insistence on scheduling the markup of this bill for the same day as the legislative hearing is unfortunate and undermines regular order.

So this demonstration project that Adam Kinzinger and Congresswoman Capps have proposed I think could make a tremendous amount of difference.

I have been working for many years on this idea of looking in nontraditional places for people that can help meet some of the shortages we have.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I urge a ``no'' vote on ordering the previous question, so that we can consider the constitutional amendment, the Democracy for All amendment, that would rein in the excesses that have been…

Thank you for yielding. It is a privilege to rise and acknowledge the incredible service of George Miller and Henry Waxman. I had the honor of serving with both of them on each of their committees, the Education and the Workforce Committee…

I think many will say, maybe genetically engineered, I get that.

I come from the perspective that there should be a right to know there.

It is gratifying that you are approaching it as much based on the reams of data that Medicare has at its fingertips as you possibly can.

It is in strong contrast to some of the proposals that we have seen in recent years--for example, the proposal to turn Medicare into a voucher program, which completely upends the basic principles upon which the program is operated for all…

You do not yet know the root cause of the defect or the problem with the deployment of those airbags with respect to that regional recall.

Takata, as I understand, has agreed to the recall, at its expense, with respect to both driver-side and passenger-side airbags within the regions where there is high absolute humidity.

Just wanted to take the occasion to thank the chairman for his service on this committee and in this House.

I thank my colleague for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I urge a vote ``no'' on the previous question as well so we can allow consideration of the Democracy for All constitutional amendment, which would allow us to put some reasonable limits on…

President Obama has decided to act and fill the void left by this very same Congress in hopes of mitigating some of the most devastating effects on climate change.
