Let's continue working until we have solved the problem for not only our physicians, but certainly for our seniors.

I want to conclude by sharing my sincere optimism that, in fact, we will achieve a bipartisan bill, one that represents the work of both sides of the aisle.

SGR reform will be offset with a real and responsibly paid-for item when it comes to the floor of the House for a vote.

However, this legislative framework is not etched in stone. Rather, it is an opportunity for this committee to continue working closely with members and stakeholders.

I want to particularly thank Mr. Waxman and Pallone for their leadership and continued interest in exploring SGR reform.

They already know that, OK? So maybe they just do not like what they are hearing.

Our current relationship is it is the best it has ever been, OK?

I hope that it results in some actual routes that reflect the community's wishes and is compatible with our infrastructure.

Why do we have to replace good farm jobs with rail jobs? Why do we not have both?

The ball is in the high-speed rail's court now, and I am hoping that they do not fumble it.

We have two speakers--unless you'd like to yield some of your time to us. We still have two speakers. Do you just have one speaker left? Why don't you do one speaker, then we'll do one--one-one- one, and finish up.

At this point I yield 2\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Nebraska (Mr. Terry), the sponsor of the bill.

Treatment can reduce the risk of violent behavior fifteen-fold in persons with serious mental illness.

I commend Chairman Murphy for leading this investigation.

Today, we are here to examine the role of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in delivering services to the severely mentally ill.

Today's hearing continues the Energy & Commerce Committee's oversight of a topic of great national significance-- cybersecurity.

Wired and wireless technologies are increasingly becoming the medium over which we manage our lives, our government, and our country.

The Obama administration is seeking to regulate where they failed to legislate, and they are doing so at a furious pace.

I fear the consequences of EPA's aggressive regulatory expansion for job creation and energy prices, and especially the disproportionate burden on low-income households.

A recent draft by OMB noted that a disproportionate number of the federal government's costliest regs in fact come from the EPA.

This administration is seeking to regulate where they failed to legislate, and they are doing so at a furious pace.

However, with that success--some might even say in spite of it--the number and scope of EPA regs is continuing to grow without precedent.

The Administration and the Congress should work together to ensure that we maintain and improve upon our record of environmental protection.

Infrastructure does not repair itself, and the pace and impact of climate change are increasing.

Defrauding anyone of their hard earned savings is despicable.
