The President made a lot of promises to the American people, both before and after the law's passage.

For more than 3 years we have heard mounting confusion and concern about how the healthcare law will impact coverage and costs for families and job creators.

The House Energy and Water Appropriations bill clarifies that the Nuclear Waste Fund is only to be used for its intended purpose: Yucca Mountain.

After spending $15 billion, the public should have a right to know what the NRC concluded.

I certainly remain committed to ensuring that consumers get the repository that they have paid for and that the costs to the taxpayers are minimized.

The votes--326 to 81, 335 to 81, 337 to 87--is a pretty clear indication that the House at least has a very strong bipartisan majority towards trying to get this issue resolved.

This is such an important issue for the country and you are right, we don't want gridlock on this.

I certainly agree. And the public debate would clearly benefit from the NRC completing the independent assessment of Yucca.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for holding this hearing and certainly for your leadership on the issue.

So ultimately, we really do need this to be resolved and get on a glide path that can assure that there will be one safe place, at least one safe place for the high-level nuclear waste.

The benefits of this trade partnership cannot be overstated: additional jobs, income, and economic growth on an annual basis going forward--something both sides desperately need.

I am absolutely committed to ensuring that we deliver workable reforms.

I also see a continued role for renewable fuels and other alternatives.

It has been nearly a year and a half since the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 was signed into law--important legislation that included a provision granting the FCC the authority to conduct a broadcast television…

If we fail to get border coordination right, the consequences will be less spectrum cleared for auction and less money to pay for the nationwide public safety network and the reduction of our national debt.

The FCC must not pick winners and losers by excluding certain parties from the auction or constraining parties' ability to bid.

It's a job I take very seriously as chairman of this committee.

In my view, the current system cannot stand.

This is the right thing to do. Individuals, like businesses, are subject to reporting requirements, costs, and penalties under the Affordable Care Act.

Yesterday the House voted to give to every American the same option the Administration gave to the business community.
