We're working against the clock a little bit; so I would prefer that we just do one and one and end it there on this amendment. Madam Chair, I ask unanimous consent that each side have 1 additional minute on this amendment.

PPACA imposes massive new burdens on them that stifle growth and job creation.

Last week, the Congressional Budget Office noted that the coverage provisions of PPACA would cost $1.445 trillion from FY2012-2021.

We should be creating jobs, not destroying them, which is why many of us believe that we should repeal this job-destroying bill.

We just did mark the 1-year anniversary of the health care bill being signed into law last week yet today will be the committee's first chance to fully explore the true fiscal impact the law will have on our Nation's budget and job…

Given all of the energy challenges the American people face, this hearing on DOE and the NRC '12 budgets would have been a very important one even if it was held before the tragedy in Japan.

I am not straying from my support for safe nuclear energy as a vital component of America's present and future energy mix.

Thank you, Madam Chairman. I want to commend you for holding this timely hearing, the second in a series investigating how we at the national level can foster an environment of job creation.

I firmly believe the key to growing jobs here in the U.S. is growing demand, and the key to growing demand is reaching consumers in the global economy.

In the midst of a natural disaster and a tragedy that we are watching unfold literally hour by hour, we need to allow time for reflection and careful analysis and learn from their mistakes.

I certainly rise this afternoon in support of this resolution which authorizes the placement of a statue of President Gerald R. Ford in the Capitol Rotunda, with an unveiling ceremony which is set for May 3. I'm pleased that this…

Thank you, Mr. Stearns. I rise in strong support of this amendment offered by my friends Mr. Walden, Mr. Stearns and others on both the authorizing as well as the Appropriations Committee. There is an old adage, if it ain't broke, don't…

Well, thank you, Mr. Chairman, and again, I want to compliment you on the hearing.

I welcome the President's announcement that his administration plans to evaluate regulations to ensure the benefits justify the cost.

I have asked our committee members to track down burdensome regulations that choke investment and destroy jobs.

Our Majority has made it clear that jobs are priority number one in this Congress.

Ensuring those with preexisting conditions have access to affordable coverage, we'll do that. Allowing families to include their children up to 26, we'll do that. Medical liability reform to reduce the unneeded cost of defensive medicine…

It was a few months ago that Congress passed and the President signed this health care bill; 2,700 pages that I don't think a lot of people read. But if you did read it, you might have gotten to this one section, section 9006, and I will…

I would just briefly like to say I echo the remarks by the dean of the House and the dean of the Michigan delegation. I knew Marv Esch as a staffer. He was a wonderful man, dedicated to this House and to making things work. We will all…

I rise in opposition to this measure, which they call Cash for Caulkers, since it's based on the Cash for Clunkers program, and maybe, before we go any further, somebody needs to ask, Well, how did that last one work out? In fact…

Folks are scared. They are really scared. Debt is at a historic level, spending is out of control, the Nation's AAA credit rating is in jeopardy, and here we are. We are going to spend $1 trillion over the next 10 years for just 6 years of…

Mr. McCOTTER. Mr. Speaker, it is a great day for Michigan. Having grown up there, I first heard the name Dingell used in conjunction with the auto industry because the people in my neighborhood, whether they were blue collar, white collar…

Mr. Speaker, I just want to say that my good friend Ed Markey's statement that, ``I'm just a poor Polish lawyer,'' that reminds me of a story. I wasn't going to tell this until then, but those of us on the committee certainly know the…

If we had acted then to figure out how we could send these coupons out, not use third-class mail but first-class mail, we could have easily fixed this without the costs so that our consumers, our broadcasters, and yes, our first responders…

I was one that several years ago helped write this legislation that we're amending today, and the reason that we did it was because we listened to the 9/11 Commission, and their number one recommendation was our first responders need the…
