We have a great opportunity to come together to expand the use of telehealth in this country.

We must ensure program integrity is preserved and utilization costs do not rise.

I joined with my Republican colleague, Representative Devin Nunes, to introduce the Telemedicine for Medicare or TELE-MED Act.

We appreciate the technical assistance EPA has provided thus far.

Our work to reform TSCA has come a long way.

I particularly want to thank Mr. Shimkus for his leadership on this issue and efforts to find bipartisan common ground.

We want to reinforce public confidence in the safety of chemical substances contained in a wide variety of products that we encounter every single day.

Our work to reform TSCA indeed has come a long, long way.

This law has not been updated in nearly 40 years.

I am a firm believer that transparency does breed accountability.

We have a collective responsibility as the FDA's authorizing committee to ensure the Agency is implementing the law, and all laws, in a fair, consistent and transparent manner.

I want to commend my colleagues for working together to develop these legislative solutions.

It is long overdue that we find a solution to the current backlog of sunscreen ingredients pending at the FDA, and this bill does it.

This bill establishes a collaborative and coordinated approach to the prescription drug abuse crisis that certainly is plaguing our local communities across the country.

I want to commend Chairman Murphy's efforts, and those of the Ranking Member of the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee, Diana DeGette, to ensure a bipartisan focus on these vital issues.

Ensuring treatments and resources are available and effectively used for those suffering with mental illnesses has been a priority of this committee throughout the 113th Congress.

Mental illness affects millions of Americans and their families, yet sadly it is a subject often left unmentioned in Congress and in communities across the country, and we are working to change that.

The Obama administration is seeking to regulate where they failed to legislate.

I fear that it may be too late, but I certainly hope that we can work together to limit any further damage.

EPA continues to regulate too much too fast.

The number and scope of EPA's regulations is continuing to grow without precedent.

I want to commend EPA's efforts to resolve issues such as Superfund cleanups.

Freedom of the Internet and the global implications of this transition are far too important to let slip away because of another broken promise.

We must do all we can to keep the Internet free from the control of those who wish to use it for less than noble means.

We are a long way from seeing a proposal that I could support.
